Oh the weather outside is frightening.....

After dinner at Friendly's...(yeah, the Sr Early Bird Special)....we bundled up and went to Eustis to watch the boat parade. I know I shouldn't be complaining when people are stuck on highways because of the blizzard of 09 but I really DO NOT like cold weather anymore!!!!!

The parade was very nice....after checking out the chop on the lake we were not sure they would not cancel....they did not however, and there were a lot of "rocking" pontoon boats.

We love this little town environment we have picked for our retirement home. These kids were entertaining before the parade and were just so darn cute!!!

The park (actually the entire downtown) was lit up and beautiful!!


Some of the boats......


The wind was blowing so hard this tree was just a bobbing....stayed on the entire parade though.

How cute is this boat carrying Santa?????



And my personal favorite was from the restaurant "Gator Joe's"....who sponsor the event. They also happen to be one of our favorite eating establishments....not necessarily the best food in the area, but good food and great ambiance.


Our little outside (live) Christmas tree.

We have lots of decorations out this year...even though we are late decorating. This palm tree definitely needs more lights and some re-arranging. Salt put them on during the day and it was much too difficult to determine where to string them. Mrs. Claus will take care of that today!!

After checking out the price of fresh flower arrangements, I decided to make my own....
