Restful Weekend

Sunday, January 10, 2021

We needed to rest Friday after the physical week of work, so rest we did.  We also did some laundry and bought groceries.  The fresh local strawberries are in so we had angel food cake with fresh strawberries and whip cream for Max’s birthday.  (We waited for the weekend to celebrate.)  That night we enjoyed another Zoom meeting with Anne’s family.

Saturday we used All Trails app to find some local hiking.  Number one on the list was the park we drive by on the way to work every day – Caloosahatchee Regional Park.  The park is about 770 acres along the Caloosahatchee river and through mangrove areas and subtropical habitat with hiking trails as well as separate dirt bike trails and equestrian trails.  There are primitive camping sites but unfortunately no RV parking.  Beautiful, peaceful park and not crowded. We would definitely recommend it.

Today, was another beautiful sunny day but started with a heavy frost and a temperature of 36.  We failed to check the forecast last night were a little surprised when we had to turn the furnace on this morning.  Guess that is what happens when you become accustomed to always having moderate temperatures and don’t think about it changing.  We of course enjoyed worshiping online with our home church this morning and then had a quiet day at the RV park, resting and taking care of some mail and paperwork.  It was a very nice weekend.
