Another month has gone by quickly!  Chris and I were busy settling back into Florida.   With our drivers licenses and voters registration settled in we worked on unpacking and reorganizing.  I had decided last year that after 15 years it was time to get a new refrigerator.   Our neighbor last year had to wait a month for her new refrigerator so we decided to be proactive.   Since our kitchens are small we are limited in size; and most retailers show lots of large size specialty refrigerators, but that would not work for us.   So we did our research and made a decision and ordered.  Ours came in quickly and we are very happy with our choice.  I have done some research and settled on an electrician to change out our breaker panel, but otherwise spent a lot of time on smaller things.  Amazing how time goes by.  I have been waiting to sign up for Medicare since the best plan for me is not available to me in 2020 and the new plan was only approved for Florida this week.   Politicians getting in the way again.   But hopefully we take care of that this week. 

Weather has been beautiful, we have recently hit what the local weatherman call a cold front.   Which meant overnight temperatures getting around 50 and daytime in the lower 70’s.    MJ was here for Thanksgiving  and we had some grill outs and pool time.  This weekend the city Christmas parade formed in front of our condo and this coming Friday is the local Christmas boat parade that we had come down to see for a number of years.  So we look forward to that. 

We have been working through an unpleasant issue.  We found a collection agency had put an issue on our credit report.   A cable company in Milwaukee WI had issued an account under my name to someone in the central city, which defaulted.   I am sure the cable company representatives are anxious to quickly sign someone up to an account, and that goes through much more quickly than it takes to prove to them you were not the one that opened the account.  So we are in the midst of that.   The collection agency and cable company want you to enter a police report, but the police do not want to open a report for something they cannot investigate.  More to come on this.  Letters and notarized letters on the way. 

So we are looking forward to the rest of the month going by as quickly as the last.  Marie arrives this week,  MJ will be back for Christmas, and our neighbors start arriving back after Christmas.  Shortly after New Years all of the condos around us should be full again.    So we hope you also are getting ready for Christmas and will have a wonderful time with family and friends!

Love the ocean

Christmas lights are up!
