New Year’s Eve, 7:30pm
We have now been in residence at the Seminole Campground in North Fort Myers, FL, for just over 6 weeks. I have been working hard and Jett has been dealing with her cataract surgery, so we haven’t met many of our fellow campers. But we did get out last night to the New Year’s Eve potluck social and met a couple of people there, including Jim and Lulu from – where else? – Massachusetts. We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve, retirement style… the party broke up at 8:15pm. I guess it was 2014 somewhere. Maybe Iceland?
We topped off the exciting evening by cuddling with the dogs (Grace was a mess due to the fireworks over the river a few miles away) and watching the 1962 version of The Manchurian Candidate, one of the movies that I remember fondly from my youth. I believe I saw it at the old Big Sky drive-in in Madison. Jett wanted to see it because we had rented the 2004 remake earlier in the week and, much to her surprise, she actually enjoyed it.
I was asleep by 11:30pm, but I awoke to find that we had gotten to 2014 without my assistance.
