We have been coming south for at least part of the winter for a good number of years. The weather has always been pleasant but this year, it is beyond pleasant - it has been terrific. We arrived in the southern USA just over two weeks ago and every day has been sunny, 25-26C, and no wind.
Of course with this weather, one tends to just enjoy the weather without much else happening - most days.
This week, we had a bit of a celebration with our friends. Gerry completed another trip around the sun so we spent an evening having pizza, cake, and singing our wishes to him.
Of course, there is a shopping trip weekly. We went to a Del Sol IGA which had just opened up recently. Generally, a grocery store is a grocery store with items that are typical from one to another. Well this one had some items that one doesn't usually see on a shopping trip. |
| Beef Tongue |

| Tripe (beef stomach) |

| Beef Lips |

| What a variety of olive oils |
With Christmas just around the corner, we attended a local parade - mainly of decorated ATVs. There were 100+ vehicles - some with quite elaborate decorations, some with just a few lights. I have included a couple of photos we took but good quality photos are just not possible for moving night shots.
There is also the dressing up with santa hats.

| This donkey is the cutest |
Today, I was surprised at how the doves seemed to like to perch on top of flag poles rather than in the trees
Another week has come to an end. I hope anyone who is travelling has a safe trip as many roads have been so treacherous. Have a very Merry Christmas - may all your wishes come true, and we would like to wish everyone peace, love, and joy - not just for the season, but all year round.
