MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OCALA
FLORIDA!
We moved from Silver
Springs to Ross Prairie Greenway Campground for Christmas with D&S. Christmas Eve Service at the College Road
Baptist Church was festive and yet meaningful - Christmas Carols, scripture
readings and a wonderful choir. The
extremely talented choir director sang, “Mary, Did You Know” almost as good as
Mark Lowry!
Guess what? Santa found us on Christmas Day! I didn’t think he would be able to, but
he must have tracked us by his GPS! I
got a bright blue spatula with big white polka dots! H got RV toilet paper!!!
There is always a bag of coal that is passed around the Trout family and
this year was H’s turn to end up with it!
A couple of years ago it was mine!!
It was fun to spend time with D’s son, and Terry the Judge and her
husband John. J still has his little
white beard and still wears bright red and white striped socks for the
holiday!!

Thursday, my nephew
Rich and his wife Susan brought their son Brady and came up to visit us from
Lakeland. Rich is a farmer from
Indiana and is down on vacation. Of
course we gave them lots of ideas on things to do and see! And of course we took them to the
headsprings at Rainbow Springs to experience the awesome sight and to see the
Christmas lights but we were too early.
They were getting ready to close and then were to re open in another
hour for the lights. The lady let us in
to just go see the springs. Susan was
not going to be able to walk up and down the hills again so we chose not to
return but instead went to find a nice place for a pleasant dinner. HA! We ended up at KFC – but Brady was happy
with it!

Our Amaryllis is
growing and budding out already. I
pulled “her” out from the dark the week we left home. 3 weeks later she is about a foot tall and has 4 buds at various
stages. Soon she’ll have vibrant coral
color and then beautiful full blooms!
And yes, our Christmas tree looks great sitting on the place of honor on
the dining room table! It has done us
well, since it is the same one we got when we headed for Texas back in
2007! If you want to see it – SPTB and
SPFB!! The Christmas ones!
