Christmas Parade.

Here are a couple close ups of our car. Charlie decorated it all by himself and I must say did a great job!! Very creative! 



Our park has a golf cart\vehicle parade each year giving away prizes to the best decorated vehicles.  (Spoiler alert) We did not win but that's not the point really, everyone just has fun, driving up and down all the streets spreading Christmas joy. A lot of the homeowners come out onto their lawns and wave and take photos, its tons of fun. All the vehicles are playing Christmas music and tooting their horns (Charlie has been holding out on me, he has an excellent tune tooting skill- he can toot out all sorts of Christmas tunes on his car horn!)  




Below, our pic with Santa ! don't you love my shorts? (over the slacks, it was a very cold night) I'm even wearing my Uggs!! 




Even the Easter bunny couldn't resist a festive ride around the park!




We even had a decorated motorcycle! We have imagination down here! 



Above and below was our view, so happy and festive. all the street lights were on it was just delightful.


After we finished and circled back to the clubhouse. The social club had refreshments inside, cookies, small sandwiches and coffee.  We sat and chatted with everyone and they announced the winners everyone thought it was just right who won the prizes.

Phew! it sure dose get busy in these retirement communities!

Yup! You guessed it the cat place, where you can drink your drinks, munch your snacks and pet cats the whole time, or if your like me you sit and watch the cats the whole time.  Tori was of course in her glory, petting a smooching cats everywhere.  Each of the cats have a pink or blue ribbon on them identifying them as male or female and with their name so you can look them up on a paper, that is on a table in the room, so you can tell how old they are.  I did find it very interesting watching the different cats interact with each other and us. They have little treats you can buy to entice them to come to you to be petted.  Tori was like this practically the whole time, this is her "happy place," amongst cats. Goodness she can go on and on about the virtues of each cat and she only met them once. This cat below is my kind of cat, wonderful to be seen but not touched. White, I like a white cat with a touch of black. They have "cat walks," u

I love the trailing days of fall, the light is different and the air feels just right. It always amazes me how the sun casts such a different kind of lighting onto the trees and other green thing this time of year almost like a spotlight but not harsh or hot.  I had a wonderful crop of raspberries just enough for a couple handfuls each day they were fun to watch progressing over the summer. At one point I had a scare. Some of the raspberry bushes got some kind of grub egg in them, I forget the name now but it lays an egg somehow that causes the top 3 inches or so to wilt. I googled it and got directions on how the save the plant and I think  I caught it in time. PHEW  I The garden as a whole is wonderful, a wild but productive place.  We have this one pretty maple tree in our backyard but unfortunately it may go next year we need the space to plant some fruit trees. I hate to cut trees but they grow like mad here.  I’ll leave you with my b
