 The
two RV Gypsies enjoyed Christmas with family and friends in 2008.
Because they live full-time in their RV, they put their tree on top
of the RV's steering wheel.
The decorations are souvenirs bought when traveling. Karen Duquette
made the Angel.
There was also photos of their grandchildren on the tree.
(Note: As they started traveling, usually 9 months a year, they quickly
outgrew this tree).

Below: The Christmas decorations
in the two RV Gypsies yard at Markham Park, which they had to rent all
year, even if they were traveling in their RV. That gave them a place
to come to if they should have to return to Florida for any reason,
at any time. (They did not own or rent a house anyplace anymore, of
course) Their RV was also adorned with lights. (They call their RV "All
We Own" because that is all they own besides a tow car. |

Below: The Christmas boat parade in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida - a yearly event. The few photos Karen Duquette
took did not come out very well, but the two RV Gypsies loved the parade
anyway. Boats of any size could register and participate, even canoes
and paddle boards. Santa Claus is always on the last boat. Besides the
decorations, many boats had music, dancers, or just major party-goers
on board. It was a fun time. |

Claus or sometimes an elf at parties with friends in Florida, but here
in 2008, she dressed as a Christmas tree - well, sort of. As the years
passed, the costumes got much better, especially her Christmas tree
outfit. |

Christmas Day at their daughter's house in Coral Springs, Florida. As
usual, Renee is never thrilled to have her photo taken, especially
with her mother. Karen is not sure of why Renee behaves this way. |
