We begin the New Year!

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Holiday season.

We celebrated a couple of anniversaries last month that we forgot to mention.  On December 16th, Connie celebrated 9 years cancer free and on December 18th, we celebrated two years of the full time RV lifestyle.  Yay!

Sea Breeze RV Park held a nice New Year's Eve Party (BIG improvement over last year!) with live music and fireworks at midnight.  Being from Ohio, this fireworks and New Year's Eve thing isn't something that we've ever put together, but starting the day after Christmas here in the Coastal Bend, the fireworks stands started popping up everywhere.

We're little disappointed in the park here.  Began last year when they put a destitute family in next to us (they litterally would leave in the morning in their van with signs begging for money in the window, park around H-E-B and elsewhere, then return for the evening.)  Their sewage emptied into a marine cooler, which Dad dumped into the pond behind us.  That was the final straw. 

This year, we had to endure a guy going through a divorce and his nightly f-bomb fights with either his twenty something daughter (who lived with him along with a 5 and 9 year old) or his soon to be ex-wife.  Not pleasant.  They've moved to another part of the park, and we're supposed to have new neighbors on the 1st, but nothing so far.  Park management said they had been warning him, but he's a "one more chance" machine since they moved him to another part of the park.

Got an ex-FEMA trailer moved into us on the other side with a big "Not to be used for housing" sticker on the window.  We'll see how that goes.

As always, the beautiful thing about this lifestyle:  if you don't like the neighbors, you can move.  That might happen.

Been putting the finishing touches on this year's travel schedule.  Hope to be publishing it soon.  The primary event will be Ohio State playing Cal at Berkeley, which gives us a chance to travel California.  Next winter, we'll be back to Tucson and Desert Trails RV Park which we really enjoyed in 2011.

About it for now.
