Woke up this morning to find our electricity running off of our batteries instead of the shore pole. The office sent someone to open the camp electric box only to find a frog had gotten into it and shorted the wiring. After removing the crispy critter, rewiring the box and changing out the 50 amp outlet, we were back in business. This lifestyle is a lot of fun but has it's challenges.
Frog legs anyone? Poor little thing.
We then went on a search for an urgent care facility to have Ron’s elbow examined. For the last couple of months he has experience some pain and swelling in his left elbow. After some home remedies that didn't seem to help we thought it was time to seek professional help. Found a clinic and 1.5 hours later Ron's elbow was lanced & injected with cortisone. Hopefully it will feel better, because they have some beautiful golf courses down here.
It is hard to get into the mood for Christmas when the temperature is in the 80's and your running around in shorts and flip flops. So to try to get into the holiday spirit we went to the Festival of Lights on historic 3rd street. It was a nice event but very crowded. The event featured several choirs, bands and performers along with a small parade and the lighting of the tree. After the tree was lit "snow" was floating from every lamp post. The crowd went crazy, pretending it was real snow. The residents love it because this is the only snow they ever see. The visitors from the northern states were so glad this wasn't the real stuff.
Some of these people take this event seriously
and dress in their holiday digs. Have no idea
who this lady is, but she doesn't look too happy.
Lots of snobs down here.
Streets lined with lit palm trees. The ceremonial tree
they lit was a regular tree but I couldn't get a clear picture
"Snow"
"Snow" and snow machine. You can see the
jug of soapy bubbles in the lamp pots.
Ron had to stand under the snow, like all of the other kids.
Hope all is well!
