December finds us wintering in Fort Myers, FL at the Blueway RV Village; our fourth year here. No shortages of activities for us to partake in this December (as you can see by the calendar) including a Christmas dinner for the park. And pickleball is in full swing, card games are just getting started. Ty and I have even been playing Ping pong on a table that has been sitting outside all summer long weathering the elements; makes for interesting play with all the bubbles and cracks.
The annual doctor appointments took us back to Colorado for a week BUT more importantly to spend time with Amy, Scotty, Tessa, Ty, Jaden and Dakota. Avery and Olivia are still in Colorado Grand Mesa. With the two gone off to college, the dynamics of the Fouchey/Nichols house has changed. Use to be at least 3 friends per teenager in the house all at the same time – that makes at least 18 kids wandering around the house, eating, taking showers, sleeping over. Now just down to Ty, Tessa and Jaden so the friend numbers are down too…it is almost quiet. And now that Amy is retired from personal training, she had a full schedule of fun activities for us: visiting the Boulder History Museum, cutting down a Christmas tree which turned into buying off a lot instead, getting pedicures, Rio for margaritas and small plates, dinner with extended family and playing cards every night – late into the night!
Return flight was delayed a day because of a snow storm, so it was a good excuse to stay up late that night (2:30 is when I saw the pillow meet my head) with Amy, Scotty, John and Jess playing 6 handed Euchre. Perfect way to end the visit.
Chet was in dog heaven playing with Lacie out in the snow and renewing bad habits. It was nice to see the 6″ of snow, but I wasn’t sad to leave it behind.
Back to Blueway and we put up some Christmas lights and Chet is most happy as the park has more small dogs for him to hump and play with. Ahhh the lucky dog.
2023 was an exciting year for Ty and I – going to Nova Scotia (bonus being with my brother Will and Pam) and Newfoundland is beyond words.
We wish you the very merriest of holidays and look forward to a bright New Year 2024!
Hello – you adventurous two! I met you in 2019 when you came to the St Simon’s Ga visitor center. I followed you for awhile with great awe and respect and then came the huge distraction of COVID. I ran across your blog in my notes and see you are still rolling. I’m so glad to know this and will check in more now and continue to live vicariously through you. All the best to both in your travels.😊
Hi the blog has been unactive since November since we were wintering in FL and not really anything to write about at the time.
I do remember you asking to be on the blog – it surprised me since you don’t know us, but pleased.
I am starting up again soon so stay tuned!
