🎄Merry Christmas🎄



 As you can see by the photo we have added a new family member.  Meet Theodore, aka, Teddy.  He is a 10 week old, 5 lb., Shipoo.  Thats 1/4 Shih Tzu, 3/4 Poodle. (Full-grown he should be 10-14 lbs)

He is absolutely adorable, which is a good thing because he is a lot of work.  He's just a baby, so we take turns getting up every 2 hours to let him out of his crate to go potty. (tiny dog, tiny bladder) We have to watch him like a hawk, always.  He doesnt understand the rules of the house yet.






The last part of December has been slow at the campground, which is nice because it gives us a break, and time with (training) Teddy.  We had been told that the Campground was going to be 80% occupied for the Christmas weekend.  But then the Polar express came barreling down from Canada to Georgia.  We had cancellation after cancellation.  There are 2 campers in our loop 1 this Christmas weekend.  It was 16 degrees last night and windy.  Our Arctic Fox 4 season camper lived up to its name and everything (no plumbing had frozen) worked this morning. Although, it's still freezing outside.

Ruth,(me) in our outdoor room/tent, working on the Blog.  Its 20 degrees outside but Im warm and comfy.  Theres a propane fire pit to my left.

Santa was camped at our campground for 2 weeks!!  He had a gig at our campground on the Christmas trail, and at other neighboring venues.

These are our new Camp Hosting friends Kim and Ralph (Loop 2) and their sweet Schnauzer, Toby.  Toby showed Teddy the ropes on how to play.  It was really nice for Teddy to get some socialization with another dog. Very important. The Morgans have gone back home to Florida, and they are missed, all of them!

Merry Christmas from our home to yours
And a Happy New Year! 

Happy Trails to You
Till we meet again

 # 23 Where did the summer go?  It was just here, then poof, it was gone.  We had a hot humid summer here on the Cape.  Lots of bugs too.  Mind you, not like Tennessee. We shared our late shift with Deb and Brian Castell who introduced us  to our Atlantic Oaks family of workers.  I don't know if I ever told you how we happened to find Atlanic Oaks Campground.  We met Brian and Deb on a Mediterranean cruise about 15 years ago, and I kept up with Deb over the years on Facebook.  They had worked at Atlantic Oaks during the summer occasionally, and two summers ago they wanted to tour Canada, so she asked us,  "Do You want to apply for a work camping job at Atlantic Oaks"?  And the rest is history. The summer season seemed to go smoother this year.  Less hectic.  Probably because we were more experianced and less stressed out about the learning curve of a new job. We found some new hikes, and explored some waterways with o...

On the Road Again We survived our 1st year at Sun n Fun!  It was so much fun, that we are going back next year.   There were fun times, and not so much fun times.  We met mostly very nice welcoming seasoned volunteers.  And a few Jerks, just like in any large organization.   We did everything from, Brian; going up in a man lift and pruning Palm trees with a chainsaw (128 total )Wow! To building cell phone charging stations, picnic tables, benches, decks and rails, building repair, running a backhoe for the electricians to pull power from the airport transformer to four new transformers installed on the campground side.  Brian also worked in the machine shop and made parts, as well in the welding shop. (Enough about Brian) Ruth organized storage rooms, linen closets, worked in the volunteer lunch kitchen, and was an assistant to the Volunteer coordinator who managed the 2400 volunteers who show up to put on the 50th anniversary Air Show that is Sun n Fu...

ROAD TRIP! 1600 Miles in 30 days                    We had a rough start heading down to Lakeland, Florida.  Between Brian's prostate issues, and Hurricane Milton, we had to be very flexible.  Plans were changed numerous times.  But we made it, stayed healthy and had a restful, fun time. Here's a photo travelog, of our journey south. First stop, boondocking at Mohegan Sun Casino  Next stop, Country Acres campground, Lancaster county, Amish country, which was lovely, charming and quaint. Getting around Fantastic, Bird in Hand Farmers market!  YUM! We met up with Sun n Fun friends, Barbara Ann, and Jeff, Emily, and Brian, for coffee in Intercourse, PA.  They all live close to where we were staying.  That weekend Emily and Brian McClure were having a Highland Games at their home and acreage and invited us to come stay with them and enjoy the fun and games. Lot's of men in Kilts doing macho things. ...
