Thursday 1/3, Judy and Zola went shopping while I went to Camping World for the valve stem extensions that didn't happen. Off to plan G now. I picked Don up at his motel and we stopped at the Ford dealer regarding the towing shimmy problem. It's on hold now as they have done nothing since the last time and we are leaving Tuesday. The four of us plus Irene and Benny went to DeSoto's for lunch. We took the Christmas decorations down and Judy played cribbage in the evening.
Friday 1/4, Judy went to Curves, I played poker (successfully for the last time) and we ate in all day. After poker I did some routine work on the trailer and fixed Bruce's computer speaker wires that their dog chewed up. Tonight we are watching TV and Judy has planned our travels for Tuesday.

After dropping Randy, Kristi & Devyn off at the Pensacola airport Jody & Bruce met us at our trailer along with Margaret and Don and Zola. We stopped at a place called Ed's for a seafood lunch on our way to Mobile. Margaret and Don and Zola wanted to see Jody & Bruce's new home. Margaret then went on to the casinos in Biloxi while Don & Zola returned with us for an evening of euchre.
I put water into the freshwater tank and disconnected the hoses then placed them inside the basement as it's suppose to get down to 22 tonight. Damn, that's cold! It was only in the 40s with strong winds all day, even the sun wasn't enough to keep us warm.

Today was a relaxing and somewhat sad day as Kristi, Randy & Devyn are leaving tomorrow. Judy arranged for the CG clubhouse today and a party. The newlyweds & Devyn; Jody and Bruce; Irene & Benny; Don & Zola; plus Judy & I gathered there to play Dynopoly & euchre. Bruce had the UM football game on TV and we ate some more. We are NOT running out of food! Right now Zola, Margaret & Judy are playing cards while I fiddle on Margaret's computer (Outlook Express uses French as a spellchecker) & blog. Hope everyone is off to a good 2008, we see where Michigan had several more inches of snow. The forecast here is for 27 tonight!

Kristi & Randy's BIG day has arrived! We started by doing a few last minute things and we finally have a good weather day. We called Kristi & Randy and had them meet us with Devyn, Jody & Bruce at the USS Alabama in Mobile. What do you get get them for a wedding present? We gave them a half hour ride in a helicopter. Judy went up with Devyn for a shorter ride as did Bruce & Jody. The weather was perfect, sunny, mid 60s, and no wind. I think they all enjoyed it! Then it was off you Jody & Bruces to get ready for the wedding, Neil & Calvin met us there also. We all met at Felix's about 4pm (the bride & groom, Devyn, Jody & Bruce, Neil & Calvin, Don & Zola, Margaret, and Kristi's parents, Irene & Benny & Judy & I). Kristi & Randy were married outdoors by Captain Morgan. The weather was cooperating! After the ceremony we all went inside to a private room off the bar & dance floor for the reception. Felix is known as one of the best reatuarants in Mobile and they did an excellent job. We even celebrated New Years.....but at 10pm.

What a wife I have, I get to sleep in while she does the laundry! She's a keeper. We picked Irene & Benny up at 10am and went to Jody & Bruce's. We went to Grossology in Mobile with Devyn, it was about all the noises and functions of the human body.....farts, smelly parts (ALL of them), belches, vomiting.....you get the idea. Then the ladies went out to Sonic for lunch and then got all 20 of their nails done while the 3 guys watched football after our lunch. The bride & groom showed up about 4 or 5 pm and all seven of us joined Neil & Calvin at a nice Italian place for supper. We heard from Don & Zola, they have arrived and are in Foley. Judy talked with Margaret and she's planning on driving over tomorrow. Since the Michiganders arrived the weather has gone north.....chilly, wet and overcast.
