It is Raining Again

Got up this morning to rain again. Since it is raining it is a good day to go shopping at our favorite store,Lowes. We stopped at Pam's and had lunch, went to Office Max, Lowes, and then to visit the in-laws.
Bud has lots of projects to do and so do I, one drawer at a time. Getting ready for a garage sale is alot of work. If it goes in the sale it is not coming back in this house. Bud even went up in the attic, it is full also. We haven't even looked at that stuff in ten years so I guess we don't need it. It boggles the mind at all the stuff we have accumulated in forty-two years.
Well, got some computer work to do.

On the Road Again

Well, we were home for a few days and then we decided to attend our first motorhome rally in Fowlerville, Michigan. It was a beautiful day on Thursday, Friday and then Friday night late it rained, Saturday night it rained and on Sunday when we left we needed a tractor to pull the motorhome out of the mud. Oh happy day!!! The guys that had the tractor said "You people really know how to have fun."
It was so good to see our friends, it was like we never left, we just pick up where we left off. There were fifty-two motorhomes there and I think that is great considering the economy here in Michigan. Some folks never even went home yet, just came home to Michigan from Florida and Texas, etc. and stopped at the rally while the motorhome was already packed and spent the weekend. We had a really fun evening at Bob and Ruth's motorhome watching the video of Bill and Jenny's mock wedding. I can't believe that was in 1994. It was fun to see how the people have changed.
Today when I got home we just kind of laid around and I started reading a new book. I kind of hated to put it down to write this but I wanted to check my email.
We won't be camping now until our rally in June.

It's Cold and Raining Again

Well, I know we came home way too soon. I was getting pretty use to sunshine everyday and it is just not happening here.
I spent the morning covered up on the couch until Bud got a fire going in the woodburner. Do you beleeve that?
The rest of the day I spent shredding papers that had accumulated over the winter. I am so far behind in this house I will never catch up.
I made meatloaf for dinner and played on the computer. It has not been an exciting day.....

We're Home

We are home in Michigan now and it sure was good to see my grandkids and kids. The trip home was uneventful and that is a good thing. We got home on Saturday night about ten thirty.
On Sunday it rained. On Monday it has rained all day. Ugh...I am not a happy camper.
I saw my inlaws today and they are doing remarkably well. I went to Pam's for a while tonight and we played brain games on the computer. They are suppose to help your brain and I need all the help I can get.
Went to Bob Evans today to see if they have any openings on the schedule. It doesn't look too good. She has already cut the other people's hours so as soon as business picks up she might need me. Oh well, I can't work if they don't need anyone. The economy here in Michigan stinks.I will have a lot of time to get ready for my garage sale, I have to get rid of this stuff. If I have not missed it in in six months I guess I really don't need it....It is suppose to rain again tomorrow or snow if the temperature drops. I came home to this, I must be crazy....

Our Last Days Here

We have been packing and trying to get things together to go home. The weather has been beautiful and I sure hate to leave.
Wednesday night we got a group together and went to Margaritavill's in Spanish Springs. We had a real nice time, eating, dancing, and listening to karaoke. Dunning Shaw was there and he is great. He can sing anything. It was so nice to have all my friends around me. I really enjoy all the people I have met here. We are all planning to meet this summer up north, etc. So maybe I will get to see some of them..
Tonight Pam and Rod had us over for a big turkey dinner. It was mighty good..We had a lots of laughs and we were planning for next year. It will be the year of the "Central Florida Day Trips". I sure am going to miss them..
Just before we left Pam's renters called and said they heard water running and the kitchen floor was squishy. So Bud went down there and turned the water off. "Duh" You would thing they would have known to do that before the kitchen floor was ruined..We can't do anything tonight but we'll have to get a plumber tomorrow. We were planning on leaving early but now I don't think that will happen..

Happy Easter Everyone

I worked Easter Day [MY LAST DAY] and it was busy really early and then kind of died off. Of course, it was beautiful outside and lots of other restaurants had buffets. When I got home we headed to Bill and Eva's to have Easter dinner. She cooked a great meal and we met another nice couple named Leo and Wanda from New Hampshire. Bill met them at the Gold Wing Club. Then we all went golfing at Roosevelt Golf Course. I did okay and so did Bud. Then we left there and went to Anna and Bill's and she made Italian Cheese Cake. Oh, my was that good. She said it takes ten eggs. We all had a nice time. It was a marathon day for me that started at 5 a.m so I was glad to get home.
On Monday we met Bill and Eva at Roosevelt Golf Course and golfed again. I improved a little but they sure have alot of sand traps. Then we had dinner at Mallory Country Club. Another full day....
Today we worked around the house and then Anna and I went to Katie Belle's to hear Mary Jo Viltale sing. She is marvelous. Then we came home,picked up the guys and went to the movie "Fast and Furious". It was better than I had expected. Lots of car chases and bang 'em ups...

Way Too Busy To Blog

Our time here is running out fast so we are packing in as many activities in as we can. I am only working on Sundays now and Easter Sunday is my last day to work here.
We have been golfing, dancing, eating out, shopping, etc. We have done so many things I can't even remember where or when.
Yesterday we had Barb and Dave over for breakfast. We went to the pool in the evening.
Today we golfed at Pelican with the neighborhood. We golfed awful and it is a very hard course. I will probably never play there again. Then we went to Cane Garden Country Club for lunch as it is probably the last time we will see some of these people. Then we came home and cooked for Easter at Bill and Eva's and then we made supper for Pam and Rod and after we ate we played nine holes at Hilltop. We have improved since this morning. Ha Ha.
They just left and I am resting up for tomorrow. We will be super busy.....

Wednesday and Thursday in the Villages

On Wednesday I had lunch at Katie Belle's with Lana and Anna. Very enjoyable. Then they came back here and we practiced the Cupid Shuffle.
We had a tee time at 5 at Saddlebrook but it poured down rain so we had to cancel. We need rain desperately but not on my golfing days...
Rod and Pam had us over for dinner, roast beef, carrots, potatoes and all the trimmings. UMM!! Then the six of us watched a comedy tape but we all had to go in their bedroom because the DVD player doesn't work in the living room. Then we headed for the living room and played Pictionary. What a fun evening!! Lots of good food and lots of laughs...
Today we went to the nursery and bought a few new plants. One is called a Knock-Out Rose bush that is suppose to survive the frost we get here sometimes in February and March. I hope it does.
Tonight me and Bud went golfing at Hilltop. I did pretty good, I think I am finally getting it. Sure wish we could stay and practice more...
Dakota called and told me all about his swimming lessons. Can't wait to see that. Evelyn got the family a new dog, Jackson, a long haired doxin. We will be home in about three weeks, it seems like we just left...
