12/01/2010 (Wed) - Christmas is upon us.

Today finally we woke up to a bit warmer climate.  It only got down to 47 last night which is much better than the 38 we've had for the past two days.  It really does warm up nicely during the day but as soon as the sun goes down it really cools down fast.

We have made what we hope are our final arrangements for our departure from SunLife, which will be on the 17th of this month.

We have not been up to much at all except doing puzzles.  I think in the past week we've done five of them but they are the 500 piece ones.  Jim is much better at it than I am, as I can only sit so long before I have to get away from it.  

This is the first one we did. 

 Our neighbors behind us are putting up an Arizona room so every morning by eight the carpenter is there pounding nails, well actually he has a nail gun.   It's been interesting watching it go up.  One man is doing it and I think he must have come from the north.......as he is a really fast worker. 

He has put all this up in about two days.

  We are going to dinner with friends Don and Sarah tonight and then we are playing a game called wizard.  Every Wed. a large group gets together to play it.  It kind of reminds me of Euchre as the high score winners move to another table.  It really is a fun game and one that I had not heard of before.  We hopefully will be buying it before we leave for Florida.

The park here is busy getting everything in the Christmas mode.  One thing that is neat is that each street is decorated by that street residents.  Looks pretty festive.   I think the activity center has four or five trees up already.

One street has these on every lamp post.

One street has these on their lamp posts.

Another street has these not on the lamp posts but on the palm trees.  They also have strings of lights going completely down both sides of the street.  Be like day time when they turn them all on.

Now for our street.  We have nothing because no one is stepping to the plate to suggest something.  I have heard that since most of G row is Rv's they normally don't do this street.  Now how sad is that.  If we were going to be here until after Christmas I would be putting something up that's for sure.  But we are not.
