I
worked on cookies & candy before we had some breakfast. Terry nabbed some guys and they turned the
motorcycle around so we can hook up on Wednesday. I sent Terry to the store for more
ingredients while I baked the shortbread cookies.
We went
to visit Richard & Nancy and had a nice chat. Then we took a buddy burner & wax to Bob
& Bobbie and talked with people who stopped to admire the CanAm. I had enough time to dip pretzels in white
candy coating before we went to dinner at Brian & Bev’s.
Bev
also invited Dennis & Gloria for dinner so it was a fun group and another
great dinner.
Dec 17th – Tues
It
was Terry’s turn to drive for golf so Terri took me for a few errands – bank, WalMart
& BigLots. I picked up our forwarded
mail and spent 45 minutes on the phone with our insurance company to straighten
out a couple of things. Around 2:30, I
rode with Terri to pick up Mike & Susie from the airport. Their plane ended up being later than
reported so we got back just before 4 – a few minutes before Terry got home.
I
sent Terry to the courtyard and I loaded up goodie plates for friends. We had a light dinner and went to line dance
lessons at 6:30, danced for nearly 2 hours, came home & crashed.
Dec 18th – Wed
We
went at 8 to pick up our toy hauler.
Somebody goofed up and told the service department that the delivery
date was tomorrow so we sat & waited.
If we knew how long it would take we could have gone for breakfast!
We
finally finished the walk through with the service manager, waited while they
picked up a larger hitch ball, finished the paperwork and headed back for the
long ½ mile drive back to the park. We
hadn’t even finished parking in the storage area when Mike walked over. Jerry & Becky stopped on their way to run
a couple of errands so we gave them “the grand tour” and then joined them for
lunch at the Wild Berry. Nancy had waved
through the fence when we parked so we went to their place to tell them we were
back and they came to have a look. Terri
rode her bike over for her tour.
At
5 we went to Dave & Phyllis’ for Happy Hour as they will be leaving for
Christmas. We had to leave at 5:45 for
dinner at Harry & Cathy’s. They set
tables up in their park model carport and made a super dinner with a New York
steak roast. There were 12 other people
for yet another wonderful gathering of friends.
Dec 19th – Thurs
We
went shopping for items to make some changes in the toy hauler and ended up
going to 3 different stores to find what we needed. We stopped at home for a late breakfast
before going back to continue figuring out changes and installing locks on the
battery & propane tanks. I was a bit
late for an 11:30 haircut but Holly wasn’t ready for me so it was OK. Terry was still at the toy hauler so I walked
back there, we finished up and came home to change clothes to go to a wine
& cheese party in the ballroom. The
party was for anyone who took advantage of the fall special here in the
park. From 2 to just after 3, we had
wine or beer, cheese/crackers/fruit and listened to karaoke. We went from there directly to the courtyard
to listen to Jeff Stevens & dance a bit.
A
group at the courtyard decided we should all get together and order pizza for
dinner. We stopped to put on long pants
and grab a jacket before going to Brian & Bev’s park model where Bev put
out snacks to hold us over while Ron & Brian went to pick up pizza. It took the guys a while to get the pizza
because they stopped for Brian to pick up 2 more chairs for their tall dining
table! We gobbled down pizza and went
immediately to the next entertainment – Wayne & Deb singing Christmas songs
at the Rancho’s community center. Yep –
enough things crammed into this day!
