March came in like a lamb

We have enjoyed some beautiful weather so far this month.  Seventies during the day, as low as lower 40's at night.  Which is perfect for sleeping.  

Unfortunately we each have had head colds for the past two weeks or so and it has curtailed our activities.  I'm pretty much over it, just tired.  Jim is still sneezing and has the sniffles.  We have both slept .... a lot! Couple nights Jim did 12 hours.  Naps figured into each day.  Neither of us can remember when we caught colds in the recent past.  Eating wasn't high on the list either.  But we muddled through.

Our new site here at Wildwood affords us to be more nosy...tee hee.  We can see more rigs and folks coming and going.  Our street side neighbor left this morning and now a little casita is in it's place. We see dog walkers and folks on Golf Carts (with and without golf bags).  The neighbor behind us finally returned from his off shore job.

Now that it has warmed up a bit there are flowers blooming and trees budding out.  You should see all the Azaleas we've seen just going to the stores in Crawfordville!  Beautiful!

I hope Spring is slowly creeping into your days

This is one of my favorite layouts, a bit fiddly but the results please me.  Stampin Up Hand Penned DSP

Echo Park card kit

Made so long ago I forget details, but it is Stampin' Up! DSP, Daffodil Afternoon.  One of my sisters is getting one for her birthday! 

Out of the box with these two cards.  Using ages old stash.  Could be Echo Park ephemera

#loveitchopit....Kylie Bertucci,  an Australian Stampin' Up! demonstrator inspired this set of cards using the Daffodil Afternoon DSP from Stampin'Up!

Out of the box...two 5 x 7 cards with a nautical theme.  The paperweight is from Caithness, Scotland.  I love beautiful, useful souvenirs!

 

There you have my friends, Just a wee update.  To paraphrase Gloria Gaynor, We will Survive!

All is right in our world

We're a week into February, almost two weeks!  We're still here and just trying to stay warm.  I know ya'll up North have it worse than us, but Jim is not a fan of cold weather and it's a favorite topic of conversation...

Sonsearae and Chris brought this little frog home from Puerto Rico for me.  The coqui is the unofficial national symbol of Puerto Rico.  Beautiful!

At the beginning of the month we moved to our permanent spot here at Wildwood Golf and RV Resort.  A lot of other rigs were moving that day also.  Had to wait for our new site to be vacated and almost immediately the folks across the street, from Vermont, moved into our old site….then within a short time a motor home moved into their spot!  Others were coming and going too. It was a beautiful sunny day to make it easier on everyone.

The last two days we've had some decent afternoon temperatures.  So Jim tackled some chores outside.  We both took a walk around the campground. Jim put up a tray feeder and a wren was on it!  Hopefully I'll attract some birds.  Still need to put up the feeding station.  No bushes for birds to flit to...I guess I'll have to plant some.  I do have plans for making our site prettier but it will take time.

Jim got his hearing aids last week.  So far it's going well.  Obviously he hears better but getting used to an object in your ear, even if small, takes some getting used to.  He's also doing better with the cpap machine.  As far as sleep?  He still naps most days and is tired most of the time.  Does the machine work?  who knows.  But he uses it each night and sometimes we both get to sleep all night.
