I love the tiny house movement, which anyone who lives in an RV can relate to. <br /><br />You often mention how many steps you have taken, and I've finally figured out that you aren't counting those steps yourself, but must have some device that does it. My daughter got some sort of a wrist band for Christmas and if she likes it I think I might look into one too.<br /><br />Happy new year to you and David, and also to Carrie and her fiance.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-12068679889556680002015-01-01T19:47:44.803-05:002015-01-01T19:47:44.803-05:00Happy New Year!

One time we were walking on the beach and there were pieces of wood sticking up. I commented to Beek that those were probably dangerous. On the way back, I walked into one of them and ended up with my baby toe at right angles to my foot. Ouch! Have fun!

Way too many people everywhere this week. Too bad the weather got nice as soon as Carrie left. The weather up north was very nice over Christmas, also.

You know you made orange-shirt's whole week :-) Hysterical! No dogs on the beach is really going to limit our time in FL - and look how happy those rule-breakers are! Oh well, I know they can't be allowed everywhere :-( I don't know what those concrete/wood things are, and I also wonder how many toes they've broken and beachcombers they've toppled? Believing it could be less foggy over the water at sunset is why he's still smiling and living the dream - and another reason you are so blessed my friend :-) Enjoy this brand new calendar day!!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-63301294799669895832015-01-01T10:04:47.969-05:002015-01-01T10:04:47.969-05:00I have never found immersing myself in cold water ...I have never found immersing myself in cold water too pleasurable but I do remember one time in the summer of 64 swimming in the Gulf of Mexico near Sarasota Florida & thought to myself, Ahhhhhhhh if only our Great Lakes in Canada were this warm I might really like this whole swimming thing a whole lot better.

And I couldn't help but chuckle at David's optimism that the fog might be less at the beach. Sounds like my guy's normal way of reasoning.
