Another yr gone by. We are pretty settled in the house and having a quiet winter. It has been much cooler than last year here in florida. windy and cloudy too. i have done quite a bit of bike riding and started out going into the pool 3 times a week. but the  pool  had some issues and was closed for a month. . hopefully, now things will get back in a routine. friend laurie got here from canada and is all settled in Sydney.  beth and todd are here too but i dont believe they all are as happy at their campground as they were last yr.  beth and todd are in fact looking to buy a home somewhere in the area. we all got together at our house for christmas day and had a great time. eric and heather  were here at the house the first week in december and it was a lot of fun. heather and i got in a couple of bike rides, we did a airboat ride in crystal river out into the golf, saw a few dolphins playing. went to a christmas party at friends fred and sharon in Hernando and also had them over for dinner one evening. they had a park wide thanksgiving dinner and the food and company was amazing. nice to be getting to know the park residents a bit better.
