Happy Thanksgiving!

Every winter for as long as Dorcas and I have been retired, we have made an annual migration to sunny Florida. During most years we leave during the week of Thanksgiving.  Last year we had planned to leave the week before Thanksgiving, but dealing with the aftermath of our crushed motor home set us back a week or so.  You can read about that setback HERE.  This year we made up for that and left home on Friday before Thanksgiving. Our first stop was at my brother's house near Angier NC where we spent 2 nights, exhibiting brazen contempt for CDC guidelines against holiday travel during the COVID pandemic.

Our next stop was at the Circle K RV Resort where we spent a night in the cul-de-sac of friends Mark and Diane K who live near Savannah.  This is a favorite stop, not in small part because it is convenient, about half way between NC and our winter home in Florida.

We hit the Florida Welcome Center on I-95 shortly after noon on Monday November 23.

About 4:00 on Monday we arrived at our winter home at The Great Outdoors near Titusville FL

It wasn't long before I was back on the pickleball courts.

TGO is for the birds!

Mr. Gator wants turkey for Thanksgiving too!

We snagged the last one!

We had several options for Thanksgiving dinner.  1) cook something from scratch. Dorcas said no way!  2) Go out to a local restaurant. Not the most intelligent choice during a global pandemic,  or 3) get a prepared take-out meal from a local restaurant.  We chose option 3 and reserved a dinner and fixins to feed 6 people from Cracker Barrel.  We love leftovers!

After a few hours of pickleball in the morning and an afternoon nap during NFL on the tube, we enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast.

These are the ones that got away:

Dorcas and I are very thankful for our health and good fortune.  Life is still good!
