We spent Christmas this year (2009) at the home of Lori, and Joe Roberston. Ruth, and James met us there for a wonderful, and white Christmas. It was 60F in Bentonville AR, the week leading up to Christmas, then SNOW.... COOL!!!
We toured the Sam Walton Museum in Downtown Bentonville (picture), and recieved a personal tour of WalMarts computer center (Joe), and Crisis/ Event Center).
Returning to Florida Susan and I took a detour through Seneca SC to see Nick and Lynn Geiben.
We got lost a few times, but always seemed to recover well... (There's really no easy way to get from NW Arkansas to Seneca SC, and then to FL until you get to I-95).
When we returned to Florida the jet stream moved south and brought the longest cold snap to FL on record. Wow, was it COLD.... Fortunately we were at a dock, and could plug into Shore Power for a little heat.Mornings it was as low as 37F in the main Salon of AB. BRRRR....
We'd move the little heater to whereever we were in the boat... but it was still very Chilly!!!!
(the Butter got very hard ..... so now we're seeking that point where it will MELT again!)
We stayed in Titusville over a month... from before Christmas, to mid-January... It's time now to move South to Vero Beach, Miami, and the KEYS.
While we've been here in Titusville, Brian and Sheila Strutt have been gratious hosts, trucking us here and there... whenever.... WE drove up to Datona at one point and purchased a helm seat (picture below)....
Actually there's been quite a few boat improvement projects accomplished while we've been here... That's the one advantage to sitting still for a while.... :)
