The managers have attempted to make one believe it is fall even though the temperature at the moment is 80 and on its way to 90 today. There are about a dozen white swan planters scattered around the park entrance, and the summer silk flowers have been swapped out for golden chrysanthemums. In front of the office entrance, a scarecrow is standing sentry assisted by some pumpkins and a bale of straw. All quite cute.
The confines and noise level here are getting to me!! In addition to Mad Hattie, who was ranting just a few minutes ago, new neighbors moved in beside us yesterday; a couple about our age and their adult son. This morning around eight, they had their dinette window open and talked loudly (argued) for about 1 ½ hours. Their dinette window is one foot from the chairs on our little patio. So it has NOT been a quiet Sunday morning.
I just scored two bicycles. A lady in a trailer across from us is taking it back to Arizona, and she just wanted to give the bikes away. I don’t know how much we will ride them here in this little park, or whether we will go to the expense and effort to haul them around with us, but they will provide a little entertainment for the next 3 weeks. She also gave us a great little folding rocking chair for the patio. Again, we may not have room for it when we pull up stakes, but we can rock n roll for now.
We just went to dinner with some folks who are staying here in the park. Their home is just a few miles from here, but it suffered a fire as a result of spontaneous combustion in a bale of hay that they had stored on their back porch (for their rabbit). We have chatted from time to time and she always stops to pet Cooper, so she asked if we wanted to go to dinner with them. Sure. It was a local Italian restaurant, and my eggplant parmigiani was very tasty.
Today is now Monday, and the excitement for the day was a trip to LaMesa RV (this site is as bad as their others), and WalMart. I think we spent $10 at WalMart. This isn’t a super store, so less to spend money on.
At LaMesa, I stepped inside one of the Tiffin buses, but assured Ken he didn’t have to enter into immediate negotiations. One floor plan had the refrigerator and sofa on a slide-out across from the stove and sink. But there was no dinette, and the only place for a table and chairs would have been in front of the refrigerator/sofa. The other floor plan had the sink, stove, and workspace lined up in that order, which meant you had the stove smack between the working space and the sink. I am too sloppy for that – I need the sink easily accessible.
I hear my book calling me. I am reading the biography of Julia Child. She was pretty outspoken, frank, and daring for her era. Quite the lady.
Ciao
