Bocce Ball Goodbyes

Tuesday we had our last bocce ball games with the other 3 couples that we normally play with. This is Derek and Jill from Kent, England. They own a beach house and also a house here in the park. They have been coming to this area for the last 23 years. There daughter attends college in the area. They left today and will be coming back in Jan and in April their daughter will be getting married on the beach. They have a great sense of humor and we really enjoyed our time with them. They said if we ever get to England, we are to look them up. This is Bob and Angie. They are in charge of the Bocce Ball games that start in Jan. They are the ones that taught us how to play the game. They stay here in the park in a park model but are going home tomorrow to New Jersey for the holidays. So we said our goodbyes to them also. Here is Brian and Barbara. They are from Nova Scotia. They are in a 5th wheel like us and will be leaving this park at the end of the month like us. I think they said they are going up to the Tampa area. We will continue playing bocce ball with them until we leave. After saying our goodbyes to the gang, we went to see if we could see the manatees. It was after lunch and the best time to see them is in the mornings but we went anyway. I forgot the good camera, so we did not get a lot of pictures with my little camera. We did see quite a few and it was neat when they actually brought their entire head out of the water. Didn't get any good pictures of that. There were a few out in the river playing. All we could see where their tails coming up out of the water. It was neat to watch. We will go back some morning with the good camera to get better pictures. After that we took a run up to Camping World. Came back home and shortly after we got here, we saw the fire truck and an ambulance show up next door. The elderly lady from Canada had a major stroke. They ended up life lighting her to the hospital. They have only been down here for 2 weeks. What a shame. After supper, we lounged around and watched TV.
