I
caught up on the blog this morning while Terry got his Candy Crush fix. Moe stopped in to chat
for a while. The wind came up so Terry
put up Dave & Phyllis’ awning and ours.
I cooked some veggies in preparation for a casserole on Sunday and
finally made a late breakfast.
We
went shopping for baby back ribs for a future party. We thought we did OK at Albertson’s where
“buy 1 get 3 free” worked out to $2/lb.
When we put the ribs in Larry & Julie’s freezer, Julie said ribs at
Fry’s were $1.99/lb!
Darlene
organized a birthday party for Grace so I made chicken pillows as my “heavy”
appy. They took longer to put together
than I thought and I had to bake 2 pans so we arrived a little later than the
3:00 start time and found everyone already eating. It was fairly cool and the park needed the
folding chairs that we were using so we wrapped it up shortly after 5.
Trish
suggested a game of pool so several went to play. I dropped in to kibitz and was talked into
joining Trish, Sue & Vi for a couple of games. If I am going to do this again I better do
some practicing!!!
Feb 1st – Sat
We
had a lazy morning and finally ran some errands. Our ice maker quit – again! – so we took it
back to Camping World. They no longer
carry the small size but they were willing to give us full credit for the one
we bought 4 ½ months ago and we paid the difference for the larger size. We went to Garden Ridge for a few items, had
a burger for lunch, dropped items off at the toy hauler and rearranged the
closet for the larger ice maker.
When
Terry was carrying in the ice maker, we heard a clunking sound as it was
tilted. We didn’t want to start out with
something wrong so he took it back. He
forgot the basket & scoop so I phoned and he had to come back to pick them
up. Finally he returned with another ice
maker and when he lifted it out of the truck it made a similar clunking sound!! We decided it must be OK so Terry cut a piece
of wood in half and got the ice maker situated.
The guy at Camping World said to plug it in but not start the ice making
process for a couple of days so we won’t know how it works right away.
We
went to Harry & Cathy’s for dinner before going to a dance. Also there were Bob & Gail and Jerry
& Becky. We had a delicious lasagna
dinner, moved inside to chat for a while and then all but Harry & Cathy
went to the dance. Cathy has an
abscessed tooth but gamely carried through with the dinner plans.
Feb 2nd – Sun
Darlene
organized a golf group for this morning and Terry & I played with Larry
& Barb. It was very cool to start
and only slightly warm when we finished.
We stopped for a quick burger on the way back.
We
went to a Super Bowl party at Brian & Bev’s. It was organized by Brian & Ron – they are
getting very good at football parties.
The TV, chairs & heaters were set up in B&B’s carport. They added a huge tarp on the side & a
bit across the front to hold in the heat.
People brought appies and then another group brought dinner dishes for
half time. There were tables &
chairs set up at Larry & Suz’s (right across the street) for serving &
eating dinner.
There
were more people supporting the Seahawks but everyone would have liked a closer
game.
Feb 3rd – Mon
We
printed more personal cards this morning which I made harder than usual by
first partially separating a few sheets of cards and then getting the bright
idea of putting a picture of us on the motorcycle on the back of some
cards. We went to Dennis & Gloria’s
where I helped Gloria with a project and the guys watched us.
We
went to get new motorcycle helmets but forgot the store is closed on
Monday. Luckily it is not far away. We continued on to WalMart for some
groceries. We also got some foam-core
board to make a grid for playing a new card game – Cross Cribbage.
We
had Dennis & Gloria over for dinner and to play Cross Cribbage which we
were all learning. The guys used their
usual luck – OK, and a bit of skill! – to pull off a resounding win.
