SSK, WEEK 3, DEC. 14-20, 2009

 

The night sky has been filled with so many stars and we saw a few streaking meteors at the beginning of the week when the Geminids Meteor Shower was at its peak.  The calendar is beginning to fill up and some of the weekly activities began this past week.  Water Aerobics got started on Monday and Chris opened her Computer Class on Wednesday.   Hank and I were “elfed” this week—a Christmas gift was secretly left on our doorstep and we passed the elf and a gift on to someone else, very stealthily, the next night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Several loads of pea gravel were delivered to the park and the staff was busy spreading them on all the vacant sites in preparation for the winter people arriving in the next two weeks.  Even Marlene, park manager, was involved.  She said she hates to see all that gravel on her newly paved road!  There are lots of Christmas lights surrounding the office.  We especially like the pink flamingos.  Our pink flamingo is wearing his Santa’s cap.  And, as you can see, I finished getting all the planters filled and our traditional hibiscus stands by the front door.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lots of dining out this week.  Wednesday night we shared dinner up at Lazy Days South (located where Cabot's and Frosty’s used to be) with the Rohrers, Becks and Jimmy and Stanley.  Great meal and fun company!  Thursday brought the first Ladies Luncheon at Key Colony Inn.  Though our number was small, we had a great deal of fun.  And on Sunday night we had dinner at Hideaway Cafe on Grassy Key with Chris and Toby and Rich and Joanne.  We have heard about the place for years and are so glad we finally ate there—we definitely will return.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The end of the week brought a huge storm, high winds and cooler temperatures.  We now are wearing our jackets and sweatshirts, but that was only fitting as we went to see the Christmas lights behind San Pablo Church up on Marathon.  It took 4 people over 2 weeks to string all the lights and the results were amazing.  Hank and I will be thinking of each of you as Christmas arrives and wishing the very best to each of you and your loved ones.  Merry Christmas, 2009!!!!
