We said we’d
sleep in, and we did. Oh, it felt good
to take full showers again!
There was a
small flea market happening in the parking lot of our next door neighbor, the
Presbyterians. 
Mona found two books and I found our 2014 Christmas Tree… each
for a quarter.
Next, we met
some unpaid servants trimming shrubs in the church prayer garden next to the
UMC sanctuary on our other side. They
have a wall of brass plaques dedicated to the persons whose cremains are
scattered in this ground. Jim and Judy
take care of this service, and work with the Food Pantry here at First UMC of
Cocoa Beach. We’ll try to help them out
tomorrow afternoon when they next serve.
Then we drove
over the rte 528 causeway to Merritt
Island Post Office but the mail had not arrived yet (‘Sir, it is Christmas
Season. Maybe Monday’). Then we drove
back to Cocoa Beach for their annual Christmas Parade.
As
advertised, it ran from 2 pm through 3 pm. And it was also as our friend at the
library had said, quaint, small townish, and fun. I picked up a bunch of thrown
candy and helped a little fellow beside us get a whole lot more.

Back to the
coach and a sunny afternoon of reading for Mona and the next third of the DVD MAGNIFICENT SEVEN for me.
A quiet
evening is planned for we have to rise early tomorrow. Sunday School is at 8:45
here!
