Back to Gulf State Park

Sunday, December 8, 2024

After a wonderful Thanksgiving with family in South Carolina, we drove to Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama to spend the month of December. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you will have a wonderful Christmas. Cherish your family. Take time to share your love with family, friends, and people you don’t even know. We continue to ask for your prayers for our family members who are fighting serious health problems. We learned Friday of another cousin with possible cancer. That makes four. We know God is still healing and He is in control.

We really enjoyed this year’s Thanksgiving with family. And the smoked turkey.

December is a good time to be here. The weather is usually really nice although we have had a few cold (by our standards) days. And there are fewer people here than in the other winter months.

One of the first things we do when we get to the park is go pick up a pound or so of steamed shrimp and eat it immediately.

So far we have made it to the beach all but one day.

Since we arrived we have seen the Blue Angels practicing, the bald eagles, many other birds and this one gator who decided to brave the cool weather today.

The park has many miles of trails for us to hike and bike.

Earlier this year we bought a 1000 piece Advent puzzle. Inside the box are 24 small boxes, each containing a few pieces. We are supposed to only work one section of the puzzle for each day in Advent. So far we have held to that.

As part of our Christmas decorating we maintain a decades long tradition started by Max’s mother of filling the little mugs with Raisinets. And we like Raisinets.
