Terry
went with Ron to help him pick up a small storage unit and pavers for a pad for
the storage unit. Once they started
putting it together, they decided it could sit on the corner of the concrete
parking strip. That put it almost in
front of our only window on that side but the window is by our desk and the
blind remains closed against the sun most of the time. It does give me a good reason to give Ron a
bad time!! With the change in plans,
Terry went with Ron again to return the pavers.
In
the meantime, I caught up emails and the blog, added money to the laundry card
and then did the laundry. I had just
started reading about 1:30 when Moe came over and said that Dennis & Gloria
were eating lunch in the courtyard and if we wanted a table to listen to music
later we better take over their table as most of the other tables were being
used/saved already. Music doesn’t start
until 3 but the band was North Star who is very popular. I had already planned for us to have lunch
there so I called Terry and told him to meet me when he got back.
Food
service was slow but we had time to eat before the band started. At 2:50, Neil called to ask if he could
borrow our ladder and if Terry could help for a few minutes to repair something
at Julie’s. Terry took the ladder over
and there were 2 other men who could help Neil so Terry came back and just
missed one song & line dance. The
band was good and we did a few line dances.
It was warm enough to take off our light jackets when we were dancing.
We
chatted with Dennis & Gloria and Bruce & Ann who had sat by the pool to
listen to the band and then talked briefly with another group that included
Jamie & Lorraine. We were barely
finishing dinner when it was time for line dance lessons. I didn’t want to go so Terry decided to stay
home as well.
Jan 9th – Wed
We
headed out on our bikes about 9:30 to deliver the rest of the invitations for
dinner. We ended up chatting with people
along the way and still weren’t done at noon.
Moe was going to the courtyard for lunch so I asked him to join us for
breakfast which he enjoys more than lunch.
Terry & Moe talked with neighbors until our meal was ready.
I
went to Larry & Julie’s to help Darlene take down and put away Julie’s
Christmas decorations. Julie is still
supposed to be resting but she had put smaller things into storage totes and
Darlene had done quite a bit before I got there. Terry came over in time to troubleshoot a
string of lights that wouldn’t work and the lights ended up in the garbage anyhow.
Next
it was time to head to the courtyard to listen to music, do some line dances
and soak up some sun. I had an
appointment for a haircut at 4:30 but when I went the stylist was running late
so I went back to the courtyard for another 20 minutes. After my haircut, I brushed all the bits from
my hair, changed my shirt and went to Moe & Trish’s where they, Terry and
Dennis & Gloria were having a drink before going for dinner.
We
went to dinner at Carrabba’s Italian restaurant as we enjoyed it so much the
last time we went. Trish was the designated
driver of our truck again. We had a
wonderful dinner with super friends.
Jan 10th – Thurs
Terry
was playing the waiting game with a mobile RV repair tech today. Our hot water tank is leaking and may need to
be replaced. The guy won’t know for sure
until he takes out the tank but he has ordered a new tank. After a late breakfast, I went to the grocery
store where I found the parking lot jammed but never did figure out why it was
so busy. After putting the groceries
away, I put together a large pot of spaghetti sauce and then made an appetizer
for tomorrow.
Terry
& Moe went to listen to music in the courtyard but I had to tend the
simmering sauce for another hour. It was
warm enough to have the door open and I heard a truck parking an RV. The only spot left was Duane & Sue’s and sure
enough they finally arrived. I left them
setting up and went to the courtyard where Terry was just about ready to
leave. We went to see Duane & Sue
and invited them to come over for dinner after they were situated. We had a lot of fun catching up, eating &
drinking.
