TURNING 80

On November 23, my birthday cake was ablaze! Teri made my favorite – lemon with lemon frosting. We celebrated with Ken and Teri and with Donna and Renee (Bruce’s sister and brother-in-law).

GOOD BYE TO THE OLD

My last time in our 560-sq.-ft. park model at Hibiscus 221 where we lived for 13 years.

HELLO TO THE NEW

On December 3, we moved into a 1080-sq.-ft. mobile home. It took a while for it to feel like home and sometimes to find each other. One day I wondered where Bruce was and called him on his phone. He answered -- from the other end of the house!

We still live at Fun N Sun, 1400 Zillock Rd. Our new lot number is T-414.

Bruce wanted two bathrooms and I wanted a washer-dryer. We got both. Also we got a fully furnished place with a wonderfully comfortable couch (perfect for a nap),

The house came with a golf cart, which we didn’t need, so we gave it to Gene and Janet just before Christmas. Bruce adorned it with a replica of Gene’s first license plate – GN 700 -- and a Santa sign that said “Merry Christmas, Baby Brother.”
