Christmas in Florida ~ needless to say, a little different than up north. Santa’s area at the mall included a manatee with a boat (instead of reindeer and a sleigh) and palm trees instead of pine trees. This photo was taken at Edison Mall in Ft. Myers.

Parrot Key held a charity event tonight with a silent auction and raffles to benefit the Spirit of Christmas Foundation of Southwest Florida. It was a little chilly, so the outside patio was enclosed and they had the heaters going, but they had a good crowd and hopefully raised a lot of money for a good cause.

Works in progress.

UPDATE (12/5): These actually went together faster than I thought ~ I’m happy with that. What do you think?

One of the things I miss about living so far away from the kids is the annual hunt for a Christmas tree. I wasn’t there to take this photo, but I decided to post it anyway. Let’s just say I was there in spirit.

Monroe KOA was full of Halloween decor this weekend ~ this was a campsite just across the road. Some of the campers go all out ~ we counted at least 5 walk-through “haunted houses” while the kids trick-or-treated around the campground.

This has to be the wierdest photo of Halloween weekend. My sweet little granddaughter looking totally eerie in her Halloween creepy-ness. She was dressed as Samara Morgan from “The Ring”. Never saw the movie ~ don’t think I want to …

(I know ~ I’m going backwards)

Halloween weekend at Monroe KOA campground ~ our annual family camping trip. It was rainy and cold when we got into camp this Friday, so I was soooooo thankful we had this extra heater! It was toasty in the cabin.

These gorgeous lilies are the remnants of a beautiful bouquet that I received from my friend Beryl after I went in for surgery in October. They lasted forever!
