Lazy beach bums @addy1 and what a view!
Missy found her spot, what a cutie pie face

 

[callingcolleen1]

Awe! Little Missy is nice and warm living the "retired" life of luxury at a sweet young age!
Poor litte Rio has to do her business in cosy Greenhouse cause it is way to cold outside and she would freeze to death! I got lots of clean cedar wood chips that keep her all dry and clean. Rio has little turds the size of a peanut!

Hey we have snow................it's 12:30am and I just looked out there not expecting anything and whamo............it's all white and snow is coming down good. I know it won't last but it is fun for now

Wow 30 minutes ago it was raining and now it's snowing. Looks like a blizzard outside. Temp dropped from 40' to 20F.

 

[addy1]

Yeah JW You got snow!

I love this kind of camping nice bed, dtv, we have a portable dish, electricity, water, showers, our wifi hot spot, so we have the net. Even AC if we need it. Right now the temperatures are perfect, 60 at night 70 day, might bounce up to the higher 70's later in the week.
Watching the sun rise over the ocean right now.

Very nice,jw! Everyone should see snow at least once during the winter.
Addy, sounds great. Are you in a motor home or trailer?

 

[j.w]

Ah it is so pretty out there but the sun is coming out and chasing it away pretty fast. I will enjoy it while I can. Will be a nice walk today.

 

[MitchM]

1st thing I think about when I see that picture, jw, is DARN MOLES!

Did you get your house and barn painted?

 

[j.w]

Those moles are taking us over! You should see that area w/o the snow.

Yep got them both painted and if you remember we wanted to paint the barn red but several people and the paint company discouraged us from doing that cuz they said the red is very easily faded and we don't want to have to repaint again real soon so just went w/ the medium gray w/blk trim for both.

The moles give the cat something to do today.

Just went out and took some pix of the house and shop in the snow. Man it's cold out there w/o a coat even tho the sun is shining.

 

[MitchM]

Do you rent out your cat?

Too bad about the no red paint, but you have pretty nice buildings.

 

[j.w]

She catches the moles and brings them into the garage alive and lets them go. They then hide under the fridge and all over and I have to hunt for where the scratching noises are coming from and take them for a long walk and let them go.

jw the mole saver!

I love the color of your house, it looks very nice

Addy, sounds great. Are you in a motor home or trailer?

Well we are in a van, lol, semi converted by us. We have a brand new rv trailer at home, never even used yet. We were going to tow it down here, but then in trying to find a place to stay, everything was reserved, until next year. So we left it at home, in md.

We just packed up our van, hopped in and drove down, from Delray beach where we rented a house. All of our places are rented down here. Stopped at one state run park for the night, (they had one opening for one night) in key largo, decided to drive down to Key West, saw another state park on our way down (long Key), so we checked they had a one night opening that turned into a week. We are in our semi converted van, (good sleeping) The site has water , electricity, very nice showers and bath rooms, and the best thing...........a OCEAN VIEW from every camp site. We are semi roughing it. We bought a tent to use as a kitchen, extra stuff storage area,
We have our portable sat dish, so have dtv if it rains, (drizzling right now). And it is dark by 5ish. This key is very rural, just a few small convenience stores, few places to eat. Oh and have our wifi hot spot, so have the net.

So for 40 bucks a night we sit and stare at the ocean in our front yard. Watch the herons, egrets, sand dobbers, fish go by

This trip for you is in the camping scope mode. Then when you discover places you like you can bring the big rig down and make reservations if need be. Sounds like you are having a nice time of it all. And you have a whole month left to explore

 

[addy1]

We found out the state parks must leave 10% non reserved. But those spots could all be taken by the time you arrive to try and stay there. We won the gamble, this time.

Oh and my honey put a small window unit in the van, we have to remove when we drive, but keeps us cool!
