Friday we did laundry, then got fuel, shopped for a coat for me and bought groceries. That was about it. We are warm and dry but getting cabin fever. Everyone is expressing the same thing. We are used to being out and about. Having a potluck with the grill going is not possible on the patio right now. And I watch the energy being wasted on heating the pool and hot tub that no one can use.
Saturday morning was a couples' breakfast and it was good to be in so many folks' company. No one really wanted to leave the clubhouse but the clean up crew wanted to get things back in order. Ted went for another fill up of our propane. The furnace is running constantly. He ran into the lady that has Mark's mailbox key and she said we received mail yesterday. It is a check so we will stop by the bank and deposit it.
We decided to go to the boot maker to order the custom boots I am having made. Seems cheaper than bunion surgery! Since we were already that far east we traveled on to the Premium Outlets. I bought a new Coach purse, a pair of Lee jeans and two more sweatshirts since I have been wearing the same 3 or 4 everyday we have been here! Ted bought a pair of jeans too. As we left, Ted pulled into Whataburger to use the bathroom and ordered a coffee. When he went to pay they told him there is no charge to seniors for coffee! Good to know.
We hurried home and boiled spaghetti for when we returned and then left for church. Fr. Roy is real upset with those "damn terrorists." He said their dark evil will never extinguish the light of Christ. We returned to the park and completed our Skyline chili for dinner. Then we went next door to the RV park for card bingo. I won over $50!
Sunday was cleaning, catching up with my sister by phone, tortellini soup for dinner and Ted shooting. Not too exciting.
But today the sun is out and it is in the mid 60s! At least it is heading in the right direction. Here is our spot with double drive and coach house.
We went to the HitchHiker luncheon today and old friend Bill was there but Judy is under the weather. They are parked right down the road from us and next to the park Jay is going into. Speaking of Jay, they were on their way here when they got the call that his uncle died in East Texas. So they headed that way and won't be here now until Friday.
Ted is washing his truck and I am alternating between arguing with my lawn service and finding the closest Enterprise so he can rent a car. He needs to make a trip to Corpus Christi to see a new customer tomorrow. He will be going into the McAllen newspaper at some point but that is local.
I pre-paid my lawn service through January and tried to send a photo of the check to two different emails I was given. Both came back as invalid. They said they would send me an email so I could reply and that never came either. I finally called, got voicemail and told them I have checks proving I have paid through January and I am not paying the bill they just sent for December.
We spent one hour at Enterprise waiting for a car! People were returning them and they were going out as quickly as they turned them around. It was crazy! I drove the car home and Ted drove the truck stopping at HEB for drinks and snacks to take to Tom's who had the guys to his coach house to watch the Ohio State game. Ted was the only Ohio fan!
Ted drove to Corpus Christi for the start up of the press run and then drove back. I took the truck to the nail salon! I miss having my own car.
The ladies potluck was Wednesday afternoon and we went next door to Margarita hour to visit with Don and Trudy. They stopped by earlier in the week to tell us they have rented a spot here for next year. That means all our friends will have left there by next year.
Today I joined 20+ ladies for the weekly breakfast. The weather guessers are saying the weather will warm up and dry out starting tomorrow. Today is warmer and dry, though overcast. Keep your fingers crossed!
