IT'S OFFICIAL - WE ARE FLORIDIANS

We went to Okaloosa Tax Collector office to get our drivers license and plates.  It took 2 1/2 hours to complete these tasks.

It's official - We're Floridians

With that all done we now use Florida as our domicile or home state.  We were given the choose of 3 different license plates: Okaloosa, Sunshine State or IN GOD WE TRUST.  Guess which one we got.

IN GOD WE TRUST

We decided to stay here at Sunset King Lake RV Resort in Defuniak Springs, Florida for a week to go through things we have just put in the RV without really putting it in a place.

FINALLY IN FLORIDA

   We are now at Sunset King Lake Resort, DeFuniak Springs, Florida. We left Spartanburg NE/Gaffney KOA in South Carolina this morning at 9:00 am.  We have been in 4 states: South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida.  When we left Missouri we were in Central Time Zone then while in Virginia we were in Eastern Time Zone and then today we are back in Central Time Zone.  Why did we spend the time changing the clocks?
   We’re in the area we want to be in, to set up our domicile.  We can finally slow down and stay in the area for a while.  No more running non-stop. 

  The temperature is 73 degrees this evening.  We sat outside after setting up for a while.  We can’t wait to put our feet in the sand.

   We will post things from the last few days now we have time.

You know your in the South when you see this.

MISSOURI COLD

Got maybe 1" of snow Saturday but boy it's cold.  Got down below zero last night and going to be colder Sunday night.  It's 6:30 pm Sunday night and its 9°.  Glad we waited before leaving out.  Had the propane bottles topped off for another cold night.  The underbelly is staying surprising warm.  I didn't get the water tank filled today because of the other things we were trying to get done. 
  Went to Clay's birthday party this afternoon.  He will be turning 13. 
  I tried to add water tonight but just to cold.  The water froze in the hose before I could get everything going.  I should've had Joyce help me so it would've went faster.  But you know how us guys are.  Do it by ourselves.
  We are sitting in the RV watching "Sound of Music".  

WAITING OUT THE WEATHER

We have decided to wait out the cold front and bad weather.  We will try and leave out the first part of next week.  With the bad road conditions we are better off sitting in our driveway.  For now we'll keep filling the propane bottles trying to keep everything from freezing.  We wish we were worried about tracking sand in instead of snow and ice.
