Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  I woke up this morning starving, so we headed out for breakfast at the Galley Grill.  Made a Walgreens run and then returned to our park and sat outside reading for a while.  There was a fire in a fifth wheel up the way from us and there were fire trucks and police cars all over the place this morning.  Luckily, the owners were away for the weekend and so the place was empty.  They’re not sure how it started.  Then, this afternoon they moved a pull-behind trailer into the empty site next to us.  The woman going in there is 95 years old and performed in vaudeville back in the day and she was popular in the Boston nightclub scene back in the 40s and 50s.  She looks like quite a character.  She owns homes in Virginia and Massachusetts but comes down here every winter. Looking forward to getting to know her.  Richard and his son went down to the Green Parrot and invited us along.  No thanks we said.  Think we’ll just lay low today.

Jerry, Char, and their son, Ben.

Lazy Lakes RV Park, Sugarloaf Key, FL:  Put our corn casserole in the oven at around 1:00 for the Christmas dinner at the clubhouse today.  Mike came back from Debbie and Craig’s and told me to get a glass of wine and come over there.  There’s a bunch of party animals over there that have been imbibing since 9:00 this morning!  Everyone trashed.  Decided when we go over for the dinner we’ll reserve the “drunk table” for us.  Everyone actually made it to the dinner and the imbibing continued.  I caught up to them pretty quickly.  A great dinner and party.  Upper 70s today.

This says it all...

Some of the other revelers at our table.
