Got a drone for Christmas but it has been pretty windy and my first few attempts, while successful and non eventful, were pretty hairy in the wind. The wind has settled a bit and I am feeling more comfortable so I have flown it a couple of times off the backyard and, today, from the driveway.
Trip Log
December 28, 2020
The second of 4 new bridges opened the other day So we took a long golf cart ride this morning over the newly opened Brownwood bridge, around some new southern villages, back across the Chitty Chatty bridge, stopped at the Wal Mart market for some milk and necessary leftover ham sandwich fixins'

Today we celebrated 51 years of marriage and are looking forward to many more happy years. I golfed with the guys this morning and Alesa and I played water volleyball this afternoon. It was in the 40s this morning but we dressed warm and the sun and the lack of wind made it comfortable.

Had a great Christmas Eve with Craig and Janet and then the family Christmas Eve zoom. The only downer was that Michael's family's gift from us is already 8 days late and still piled up at the Philadelphia post office.

Waiting for Craig and Janet to arrive, looking forward to tonight's Zoom Christmas Eve and preparing goodies. After some minor cooking prep chores I walked the yard and greeted passing neighbors. We still have tomatoes growing, peas blooming and even a peach starting.

When we checked in for golf on Monday the starter said, "I know a Eugene Fales". Turns out he was a friend of Connie's and was at Eugene's wedding. Had a couple follow us home the other night because they saw my "Erie Boy" license plate.

Getting ready for Christmas and busy tracking gift packages mailed. The USPS has a tremendous back-up and packages are 4 or 5 days late so far. At least they have ms in the right city so we expect they will be there for Christmas.

The weather has been cool in the evenings lately. Usually in the low 40s and a few times into the 30s with frost. Back up into the 70s and 80s during then day although a few stayed in the 50s. Enjoying it mostly since we can wear jeans, long sleeved shirts and sweaters.

We had a great Thanksgiving and hoping you had the same. Even though we could not be with the family we did have great zooms with them.
November 24, 2020
Since we are not going to be with our family for the holidays for the first time ever we decided to put up Christmas decorations here in Florida . The Christmas tree is up, the crepe myrtle is lit as well as the cactus. We also have little Santa hats around the house and on the cactus.
