11/25 thru 12/3

Day after Thanksgiving-Black Friday. Up early to buy lanai chairs and coffee table at Home Depot and a refrigerator at hhgregg. Arrange to pick up the lanai furniture on Tuesday and a Tuesday delivery of the frig, then on the road to Suwanee River. Spending the week end with Alan and Diane. Friday night we go to the restaurant/lounge for cocktails and dancing to Justine Case, fairly good music. Saturday we're off to Okefenokee Wildlife Reserve, our senior National Park pass gets us in for free (always a good thing). Most of the reserve burnt this past summer so we take a boat tour to have a look see, the water is very low so can't get as far down the channel as they generally go but that is okay as we saw lots of alligators but only one bird. Sunday morning we take a four mile walk around the RV park then head back to Sarasota. Figure it will take us X amount of hours but didn't count on a fender bender that had traffic backed up and slowed down for many, many miles. Took almost an hour to go ten miles.

Monday morning we get up, drive to our regular parking spot at Starbucks on Fruitville and Honore and then walk 4 miles to weight watchers. Surprise, after Thanksgiving and a week end out we both lost weight. Don't know how but very happy. Monday Al and Diane get into town and doug and Al go pick up our lanai funriture.
