Day #133 - Ft. Myers, FL

December 11th, 2008

A pretty quiet day here today.  It stayed quite warm through the night and then the predicted rain started about 9:00 am.  Rained most of the day and then finally cleared to a beautiful day, although cooler.

Andy spent the better part of the day locating and replacing an engine part. He found a Caterpillar dealer and had the faulty thermostat cover delivered to the marina.  Handy Andy had it done and working as always.  What a guy!

Handy Andy in the engine room!

I worked on and mailed all of our Christmas cards.  Quite an undertaking and hope everyone likes them.

After that we borrowed a cart from the marina and walked to the grocery store nearby.  I replenished groceries on the first trip and Andy replenished beverages on the second trip.  We are good to go now for some time.

The plan to move to Naples tomorrow has changed.  We will be here another day as Andy found a leak that needs to be fixed and tomorrow looks like the day to do it.  Don’t mind staying here another day as we really like it here.  Never dreamt we would be in Ft. Myers this long, but glad we are.

Put up our Christmas decorations last night.  Took five minutes and we are done.  Andy keeps looking for a small palm tree to decorate, but so far has come up empty.  A true no stress holiday and will just be happy to celebrate it with the boys and Devon and her mom.
