Good morning y’all. It’s a cloudy day for our drive to Gloucester Virginia. We’ll be there 11 days, plenty for sightseeing and fun. 

Happy Birthday to you dear Mark 🥂🍾🍰❤️ ... the champagne is in the fridge alongside the chocolate cake. It’ll be a PARTAY. 🎈

Mark had scads of well wishes for his fab birthday ... plus singing by RanDawn and from ShayRod.  Pam tried to FaceTime, but we’re in one of those zones with little cell reception. Actually, there’s NO TV here! So, the radio’s on a great rock station and we’re consuming happy beverages and playing rummy. There are golf carts galore around here so we’ll get one delivered Monday. It’s a BIG park with trails about, a swimming beach, a fishing pond and two pools. The kids went by on the water soaker wagon!

If you’re outside your rig, you’re fair game. We saw some campers soak the kids with a hose as they rode by. 😂 

This morning was our friend Art’s funeral service. RanDawn attended and said what a large turnout there was! That’s amazing for a person in their 90’s. I’ll phone Sharon tomorrow. Randy’s feeling pretty good after his fall through the dock. He was golfing this past week ...

Looking sharp Randy! RanDawn were shopping yesterday, for 9 hours and this is one of the shirts. Nice! Wowsa. Dawn’s mom’s ‘double 40’ birthday is being celebrated this month in Michigan so she needed a few things. But NINE hours? I would have found Mark at a bar waiting for me. 😜

Tomorrow, we’re taking the doggies and going cruising and sightseeing. We’ll post some pictures then!

Good morning from sunny South Florida. Today is Mark’s birthday! 

Right after breakfast he opened his gifts. As you can see, his big gift was a Garmin RV 770 ... Disk lights, a Copperfit step watch and a canvas “cabin window” mural for the RV living room. 

Room with a view! It’ll go with our “woodsy” moose theme we’ve got going on in the RV. 

Well today has disappeared in a flash and it’s now 3 o’clock. We are getting ready for Randy and Dawn‘s birthday steak dinner and cheesy potatoes. 😋Robbie and BeeZee are invited too. 

We arrived about 4 o’clock, had Dawn‘s terrific happy hour appetizers, followed by perfectly cooked steaks, salad and cheesy potatoes. We had a blast!!!  Dawn pressured Randy into emptying his sacred Tea.drawer (from 2009) so she could store super cute napkins! In the end, Mark and I are taking home a Calla Lilly silk plant that got evicted from their place. OMG we had so many laughs.

Randy tossed the Calla Lily plant. Haha. Dawn didn’t like it. Dusty, she said. 

Mark seems to have been a bit of an instigator when he noted Randy opening a cabinet and napkins falling out all around.  So, Randy’s tea, most of it from 2009, was trash. Dawn wanted the drawer for her super cute napkins collection. We approved. Haha. 

Mark got a terrific gift from Randy and Dawn. No more hanging Christmas lights from the eaves trough! He got a new fabulous Christmas display from a projector. Yay, totally modern. ✅

Mark said it was a great birthday! Thank you.  ❤️
