Gail gave me these sweet little vases last month when we arrived at Ocean Pond. I knew when I saw them that they would be the foundation of my little camper’s Christmas decorations.
The little wreaths and baubles are earrings.
Then we got lights and a small hanging Christmas tree for Ron’s end of the trailer so it would look Christmassy, too.
And Gail and Mike are finally in their new house. It’s exactly what they wanted — a small retirement home easy to heat, cool and clean.
Mike will have a good sized shop outside, and Gail is going to have a carport and screen porch added. She had planned to have a contractor take out one of the interior walls to give her a large living room. But now that she is in it, she really likes the little house just the way it is.
She has plans to completely redo the yard, though.
The previous owner left the house immaculate. Gail remarked how nice it is to not have to clean first before moving in.
So we are camping in their driveway, and they are camping in the house — until the guys get the rest of their things moved.
It feels so good to have this house hunting saga done! 🙂

/ December 18, 2014In a thousand years, I wouldn’t be able to decorate the Fireball. Your holiday spirit is charming, and perfect for your Casita.
Isn’t it great when everything just all comes together?
Ahhhhh…….Happy Holidays, Sharon.

/ December 18, 2014What made me think of it was one Christmas I hung one little sprig of greenery with red ribbons on a coat hook in the Casita. It brightened it up and made it look so cheery. So I knew that all I needed was a little spot of red and green.
Ron is the one who chose the lights for over his bed.
But I do feel like everything has finally fallen into place and is as it should be.
Hope your holidays are wonderful, too! I’ll be thinking of you the 22nd. 🙂

/ December 22, 2014Suwannee was our last outing in the Casita, which went to new owners the very next week. We loved the park. Rented a canoe for a splendid two hour float from the put in point upstream. Did you learn any of the Civil War history in the area? There is actually a battle site where Union and Confederate troops fought over the railroad bridge.
We have the Oliver now and lest I sound too much like a new Dad I will simply say that we are more than pleased. Carol finished upholstering the dinette chusions, but has been too busy with her Mom who has Alzheimers, holidays, birthdays, etc. to work on the mattress cum sofa upholstery. I will post photos when she clears me to.
Suwannee may be one of our first real trips in the Ollie, although Ocean Pond sounds terrific too.
Be blessed and Merry Christmas to all.
