Reflections Of My Life...Dean Ford (Marmalade)

1st post of 2021

The Christmas Cactus are late, but that's my fault...left them outside a bit too long, but they'll be fine. The other snap is of course our Buddy "On The Berm", where we walk him several times a day. He loves the walks!

Rainbow Springs State Park Campground, December 2020...with hitch anomaly issue.

Here’s a link to our Rainbow Springs campout: https://photos.app.goo.gl/vjxC6jmZSqfCUUik8 . As Space X would say, we had a transportation anomaly, thankfully not a RUD (a rapid unscheduled disassembly ) but a PHD (partial hitch disassembly) caused by the loss of one of the securing locking pins due to HUYA head up your ass) distraction issues. It could of been a lot worse.... such as Mel’s toad passing him on a back-stretch so we’ll count our blessings. Details over cocktails or teleconference. Cheers! January 4th, 2021: Today the car goes in the shop to get repaired from the PHD that put a hole in the front bumper. 1 Megaunit.

The new normal can be frustrating...for sure.

 

I will NOT complain...as so many others have it so much worst, but I'll whine a little.  We do miss the theater a lot. Prior to Covid 19 we had season tickets to five local theaters. This year we purchased our renewal seats to three of them before the pandemic hit, but we're still not attending them. We have some friends who are, but it appears that Florida still has a long way to go so.....Luckily our local Titusville Playhouse records their production and gives us a key to watch it on Vimeo and we're been taking advantage of that.

We're still going out on our monthly camping jaunts.     

In August we went to Angler's RV Resort in Cedar Key Fl on the Gulf Coast: Snaps here:  https://photos.app.goo.gl/K4YbhqNrqNgUfctL9

In September we went back to Anastasia State Park in Saint Augustine: Snaps here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/1K3AFhPJmy2xkYk9A

Social distancing keeps us isolating a lot....no indoor restaurants and very limited "out of camp" activity. But it (the camping) is a blessing in that it gets us away for a break from the daily routine.

In the interim we had our roof for our Town Home replaced, the central A/C replaced, and had a rebuild of the roof under the upper deck so there's been a lot of construction going on, with all that entails. We seem to have gotten through it in one piece.

SpaceX Launch of South Korean military satellite at 5:30pm.....

Going backwards with the Covid19 Pandemic...

One step forward, two steps back it seems here in Brevard County in Florida.  Our current pandemic situation seems worse than when this whole thing started three months ago.  We recently turned in our tickets to Titanic, The Musical which is re-scheduled to play on July 4th. They'd cancelled the original production and this is the new run BUT...the pandemic situation is certainly no better now than it was. Many of the restaurants that had closed and reopened are closed again (including our David's Shilo's). The State Parks have reopened and we had a good jaunt a few weeks back, but that's social distancing as an art form...love those State Parks!  We're heading back out next week to another one for several days.  Definitely miss the theater and going out to dinner but counting our blessings as those are minor annoyances compared to what a lot of folks are putting up with, and suffering with :(.
In the meantime the pets still need to be taken care of, the laundry laundered, and the plants watered. These are very strange times.  The only thing with any consistency is that wonderful rumbling sound of yet another SpaceX Falcon 9 lifting off over at the Cape as they build out their satellite network.  That sound is always a welcome distraction :).
