Gathering of friends

Here it is December already and I need to tell you the time has gone faster than you can realize. Just last week We had friends,come visit, followed by more friends. Now they have all gone and its time for us to get packed for MI. (Burrr) cold weather.

We had a very good time back in KY. with our friends and what made that trip special, FRANK HAD A CLEAN CHECK- UP!!!he and I were so happy along with his Doc. What next was to celabrate with friends. So thats what we did. We really had to thank our friend s Alan & Doris for letting us stay at their condo, bless their hearts. Really we thought about having a big bash and invite Alan & Doris but they were in Fl. Sorry maybe next time (haha). As it turned out we ended up at the club and really had a good time as always. How can you not!!
Back to Gulf Shores to the boat. Marty & Bubba are here for thanksgiving we will go have drinks with them after dinner, The famous Cigar Bar!! its a quaint little bar for us to gather, smoke and shoot the breeze. That night we decided when Becky & Ron get here we would all go out for a night and see how much fun (mischief) we can get into. The weather is getting colder, rain in the forcast but the sun does shine daily thank god for that.. may not be long but, its there! Next day Marty,Bubba,Frank & I go up to Daphne to meet another formerly pier 6 Mike Sagaler. What a guy!! He made us feel welcome in his home ( love the decor), then took us to the Marti Grasi museum, which was closed dam it! so the tour went on to sights and lunch at the original Oyster Bar downtown Mobile.
Okay the gangs all here!!! Lets go party, start with dinner, then on to tacky jacks (cigar bar) are we having fun yet? from there we went on to the Warft cigar bar, heres the good part as you go in the door areally nice rug on the floor with a logo on it JIM BEAM you can imagine where that ended up at?? Still having fun with everyone but can we keep going day after day?? Well finally the day come Marty & Bubba had to leave us we will miss y'all. Lets say we have a day to go with Becky & Ron. We did the vacation stuff with them, Like go to Ft. Morgan the mosqitos where so bad, the women sayed they hatched there eggs due to the hurricane IDA the egss were dormit till that. So we ended up hurrying through the fort. It was interresting, and huge. We then went to Pink Pony for drinks & on to a bar called THE KEG sounds like a good one and it was. The rest of the day wasspent there lunch, pool games, dice games, I made a few dollars on the dice game. The rain came down hard and heavy we were in for floods, high winds of 25-30mi. and it did. This storm was stronger than IDA!! All in all we had a great time with everyone and are so glad they'r gone!!!!!! " WE LOVE YOU MAN"
Now its time for us to regain our kidneys back, get back to reality, on the boat (home sweet home). Its been cold,cold,colder,since all is gone. Last 2 nights been calling for SNOW!! oh my we are getting ready for the north.. Mi. here we come.. Our friends that have the sence to keep going south are enjoying theirselves in the Keys, Ft. Myers, even St. Petersburg, we envie all of you. Wish we were with you!!
Before you know it Christmas will soon be here, maybe my wish will come true! Jan. we will return to the boat and then start moving south. As for now I will try and stay warm, keep you all in my thoughts, and hope you have a safe winter.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
