Happy Thanksgiving from Port St. Lucie, FL

Wednesday, 22 ... Cold & Windy again! Where's our Sunny Florida weather? - we haven't been to the beach yet at this location. We took Mike's bike wheel to the repair shop to fix the bearings....not sure what happened to our bikes! We will be having Thanksgiving dinner at the RV park clubhouse with fellow RV'ers. The park is providing the turkey and the rest of us will bring a side dish. Another holiday without family (the one down side to traveling).
Tuesday, Nov 21 ... Another cold & windy day in FL. woke up to 41 degrees -- burr! Caught up on some computer work & putting the Christmas letter together.
Monday, Nov 20 … A cool, breezy day so decided to do laundry this morning. Dixie bought a new bike. Of course then we had to take a ride!
Sunday, Nov 19 … A little more store hopping today. Spent the early afternoon outside in cool but sunny temps reading the newspaper. Later, we drove about 30 miles to Jupiter and met some CO friends from Fort Lauderdale for dinner at the Crab House.
Saturday, Nov 18 … Did a lot of store hopping “shopping” today. Put a for sale sign on Dixie’s bike before we left. When we returned, a couple across from us wanted to buy it. What luck!
Friday, Nov 17 … Today is sunny but much cooler. In the a.m. we walked for about ½ hour around the neighborhood. There are lot’s of stores in this highly populated area.
Thursday, Nov 16 … On a warm cloudy day with a threat of rain, we took a drive to see the area. We drove over to Hutchinson island just across the intercoastal waterway. It's a nice area with several high rise condo buildings overlooking the ocean. We have some friends that own one but they our out of state for the holiday. At a public beach access area, we watched several young guys trying to catch a wave on small “boogy” boards.
Wednesday, Nov 15 … Drove 40 miles down the road to Port St. Lucie, another atlantic coastly town. We’ll be at this park for a record 11 days. The park is small but the sites are adequate with level back-in concrete pads with a patio and table. We went to the pool for awhile because the weather is supposed to turn cooler tonight and for the next three days.
