Photo Update [Part One]

Back in October, having had comments from a number of you about access to photos attached to our blog, I found that a number of sites I've been employing over the years had made some changes that precluded viewing of our photos in a number of cases.  While I plan to correct all such instances, it takes a bit of time.  Up to this point, I've corrected the series of blogs that cover when our RV adventures began.  For those of you have joined our audience in more recent years, this all started when we delivered our daughter and son-in-law's Southwind from Houston to Anchorage (yup, thats Texas to Alaska) in May, 2007.  For anyone that is interested, you can review the journey by clicking on 2007 at right and expanding the May entries.

Dinner at The Gift Horse

On Thursday, December 8th, we enjoyed yet another meal at one of our favorite local establishments.  The Gift Horse is located in downtown Foley, AL, just a bit over a block away from the town's major intersection (AL 59 and US 98).  The building has quite a history which I intend to share with all of you at some later date (for example - the food is laid out on a table that once belonged to U.S. Grant).  This particular event was a bit bittersweet; nothing to do with the food, but we were bidding a temporary farewell to some friends who were about to move on to a location in Florida.  Click here for photos.

Gulf Shores Christmas Parade

The Gulf Shores Christmas Parade was held yesterday.  While relatively small (about 1/2 hour, start to finish), it was quite a bit larger than the last Christmas parade we attended during the first year of our RV adventures in Folkston, GA (about 2.5 minutes, beginning to end).  Deb, along with a number of others here at the park, participated by riding on a float built and operated by the Gulf Breeze RV Resort.  Everyone seemed to have a good time, mostly in throwing goodies to all the kids lined up along the parade route.  Click here for photos.
