In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Gulf Shores, AL






















Yesterday, Friday, we did laundry and washed the truck. For lunch we went with 24 others from the CG to a dive called Crazy Horse just across the border in Florida. Judy had ribs she said were great. I had chicken smothered in cheese, mushrooms. onions and peppers. Last night we went to the clubhouse to hear a bluegrass gospel group, it was OK but we left at intermission.
Today, Saturday, Judy went to Curves and the grocery store. This afternoon it was too hot (low 80s) to wash the trailer so we stirred up Christmas cookies. Jody stopped by so she and Judy did a little shopping then the three of us went to Lulu's to watch the Christmas boat parade and have supper. Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister so you understand the places atmosphere.
I have to say I've noticed some (to me) unusual things here. I can get okra all the time at any restaurant; they are still playing organized softball evenings under the lights; Santa rides in a boat pulled by dolphins; we can mix up Christmas cookies outside in shorts, tee shirt & barefoot; Santa wears shorts; at restaurants you can eat supper outdoors at 7pm in shorts & tee shirt; palm trees & boats decorated in Christmas lights are nice but yard Christmas decorations are lacking.
