Home, Sweet Home away from Home

Yeehaw! We arrived in at Avalon very early Saturday Nov 6th and it sure is good to be here. Lots of folks are enjoying the sunshine and more northern "refugees" arrive each day. The weather has been fantastic - sunny and in the high 70's - low 80's. Not too hot, not too cold. Tomorrow I plan to make my first visit to the beach for the season. I have been in the pool a few times but apparently they don't turn on the heat until Nov 15th - good thing I'm Canadian!
Music night has started up again and the group is getting bigger each week. We are anxious for the return of all the musicians and singers and are looking forward to some great Thursday nights to come.
For those who have not arrived yet, don't worry, you haven't missed all the construction on US 19. If you are pulling a unit you might be wise to use the Courtney Cambell (SR 60) to cross over from Tampa to avoid having to turn around at Bellaire. Also, be prepared for a tight turn into Avalon. There are signs marking the driveway for Harberson and 2 for Donovans, but Avalon just has a ton of barrels piled in front of it - not bad once you do it , but not easy to see in the dark.
All of the usual activities are getting underway and there is a Turkey Dinner at the hall for Thanksgiving. Yum!
Good to be back!
