Happy New Year

New Year greetings to all. For those of you who are keeping up with our retirement. You will be happy to know that we are experiencing some Cold Weather. Tonight it will get into the 20's. :-( We will be turning the Electric Blanket on. We've used it more than we had expected.

We did nothing exciting to bring in 2008. Went out to eat and tried to go to a movie, but the theaters here close early on New Years Eve. I thought that was very inconsiderate of them. :-) Didn't they know there were Northerners out that evening who needed something to do besides going to a Wild Party! That's me and Dave, a Wild and Crazy Couple.

I purchsed a plaque to hang in the 5th wheel that says "BELIEVE the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams". We had a dream and it came true. Praying and believing that God would take care of all our needs and wants. We give Him "Thanks" daily for giving us this opportunity in life.

Just a few more pic's from Bellingrath Gardens.






On Sunday afternoon David an I took our first walk on the beach along the "Mississippi Sound". Since we arrived we've thought we ere on the "Gulf of Mexico". Some native residence set us straight on that. We Stand corrected.


We came upon this glass cube from one of the many washed away buildings along this coast. You can see the Sea Shells and Barnacles that attached themselves to it. I find it very interesting that items are still washing onto the shores after two years. I wanted to take it with us but David said we'd better not. We have no idea if there is a law that prohibits collecting Hurricane Katrina artifacts. We didn't want to end up in jail.


Blogging is fun but I spent most of the day doing this one. For some reason some of the paragraphs kept showing up underlined and in blue font. So I deleted all photos and started over. It fixed the problem.

Have a Great 2008!
