Jan 18th - Sun - Thonotosassa
Chores this morning. Terry scraped, sanded and spray painted the 5th wheel hitch as there was quite a bit of rust on it. I helped with masking tape and advice! After a sandwich for lunch, we headed to the Super WalMart to buy a couple of digital conversion boxes for our TVs. We received our forwarded mail yesterday and got our $40 coupons from government so figured we better get them sooner than later. On the way back we drove by to see Paul & Vicki but they weren’t home. Just then Carie called to see where we were and if we wanted to show them the strawberry shortcake place. She twisted our arms so we returned to the park, dropped off our purchases and went for shortcake which was just as good as the last time(s).
About 8, we finally were hungry enough to want something for dinner so had bacon & eggs.

Not sure what happened but Marg told me last night that my blog was not up to date. I checked this morning and sure enough, the 13th through 15th was finished in my word document but not posted. I even had 2 more days in the word document so I posted them all before we left at 8 for the big Monday-only flea market in Webster. Today is Martin Luther King day, a federal holiday, and the Webster market has way more vendors than usual so we had to check it out. Started out cool but we carried our jackets most of the day.
We bought a couple of small things and took some pictures for Dad. All of us met up for lunch and finally left about 1:45 - the wind was really kicking up dust and we were all tired of walking. It took us ½ hour to reach the turnoff to Hwy 301, maybe 4 miles - bumper to bumper cars leaving the flea market. About 4 we put on jackets for an outside happy hour.

Jan 20th - Tues - Thonotosassa
We were having Billy & Lauri, Gary & Carie and Paul & Vicki over for a baby back rib dinner for Terry’s birthday today so we had to go to Costco this morning for the ribs. Billy & Lauri came with us and we also made a stop at Super WalMart. Had some lunch and figured out how to seat 8 for dinner as it is just too cold to be outside. It poured rain last night and was very windy. Today is cold and windy.
Everything worked out great for dinner - everyone contributed to the food and we all had a good time. We brought in our new rectangular folding table and sat 2 on one side on the couch and 2 on the footstool ends of the coffee table on the other side - perfect.
We had dinner early as we had expected to eat outside and wanted to eat while the sun was out. So everyone was gone by 7:30 and Terry climbed into our nice electric-mattress-pad-warmed bed shortly after!
