Terry
got up early to fix the bicycle tires before it got too hot. After
coffee, I started cleaning the toy hauler – fridge, shower, floors,
etc. I left the door on the freezer open and put microfiber clothes
in the bottom to soak up water – easiest way ever to defrost a
freezer. While the freezer was self-defrosting, I made breakfast.
I
caught up the blog – always fun when I have not kept up. We
decided to get a Genie (DVR) for our TVs so I spent quite a while on
the phone setting it up to be installed tomorrow. Terry was so happy
to get it organized that we had an early drink.
We
ended up going to our favorite Chinese buffet for dinner.
Aug 30th –
Sat
We
got going reasonably early to wash the toy hauler – always a fun
job! After we had breakfast, the DirecTV installer arrived to hook
up our Genie but it didn't get done as we don't have the correct
satellite dish. He rescheduled the installation and gave us the part
we needed to change the dish. We need to get a knowledgeable person
to do the fix so we went to Camping World. Of course they could not
do anything until Tuesday due to the Labor Day holiday but they gave
us a phone number for an independent contractor that they do use.
Unfortunately we just got to leave a message there.
We
stopped at Kmart to stand in line to pay for a couple of items. A
bit later we went out for a burger for a late lunch and picked up a
few groceries at Safeway. They included our favorite individual
fruit pies which became dinner later.
Aug 31st –
Sun
After
breakfast we went to run an errand and ended up at the casino! I
didn't donate any money but Terry left his allowance so he can pick
it up another day!
Later
in the afternoon, we rode the motorcycle all around the park to check
everything out. We went into Larry & Julie's to make sure they
wouldn't have any surprises when they arrive in a few days. We
stopped at Robin & Neil's new-to-them park model and were just in
time to help Robin & Joe decide on a color to repaint an accent
wall in the living room. Neil very cleverly got out of town for a
week or so and avoided the decorating decisions. We had a beer with
them before continuing our tour of the park.
Then
the usual computer stuff, dinner & TV for the evening.
Sept
1st – Mon
There
was a pot luck lunch today at the park and I had forgotten to plan a
dish so I made some cornmeal muffins. The park provided fried
chicken and everyone else brought too much yummy stuff. After we ate
and the tables were cleared, we played bingo for some little prizes
that Lynn & Nelda scrounged up. Our table had a lot of fun!
There were at least 50 people for lunch which is a good turnout this
early in the season.
I had
a pork tenderloin in the fridge that I forgot to put in the crock pot
so I went through my recipes and we made a trip to Albertsons for
ingredients. We left our helmets so we could carry the entire
shopping list back in the motorcycle. Then I decided that we had a
lot for dinner so I called Patti and she joined us for an enjoyable
evening.
