Shame on Me

Here it is one week since my last post......shame on me.

Wednesday, 3/20 I finished going through the 4 boxes received in the mail, kept 2 and returned 2, not bad I guess.  I did go to the Club House to play Pokeno, and did pretty good at winning.  Back home, a quick stop at the Lucero's and O'Donnell's, only to find nobody home, so back to the RV for dinner.
 
Thursday I got up and started going through the cupboards and refrig., working on a grocery list to replenish supplies after being gone for a week.  I dropped Brad off a Shari's, went grocery shopping then back to Shari's to pick up Brad and the potato chips I had shipped to myself (OK I shared), then back home to put it all away.  A quick dinner at home then off to play bingo, not a bad night I managed to win one game.   
 
Morgan and McKayden
Friday we went out for breakfast, then hit the hardware store for a washer.  Back to the RV and fixed the flag, which had sunk 6 inches into the ground.  I did some cleaning, called the Lucero's to make dinner plans, then more cleaning.  We finally get ready for dinner, planned for 7:00, get to the restaurant, and a phone call, work is interfering, so delayed for about 1/2 hour.  We finally all get there, wait for a table, but ended up having a nice evening together. 
 

Maddie, Matthew and
Makira
Saturday we get up to a rainy day...yuk.  But we finally head out about 9:00 to watch the O'Donnell clan at the Soccer fields.  We missed Matthew playing, but did get to see McKayden, Madison and Makira play, Matt and Shari coaching and Morgan refereeing, now that is what you call a family affair.  We headed back to the RV to wait on the RV washers, since Brad is hurt we were paying to have it done....but never again, I think he could have done a better job hurt.  So while the RV was being washed we headed over to visit with Denny and Jan Kizer (friends of Brad's from the Navy (a few years ago, ha ha)).  We were there until about 6:00 then headed back to the RV, when much to our surprise, the door will not work....so now what.  I guess we were lucky, after the RV washing I opened a few of the windows, so with the neighbors ladder, in through the window I go.  We checked things out, but it is all but dark, so waiting for morning.

Sunday we get up to some wind and a rainy day forecast.  Brad checked out the door lock, couldn't find anything broken, so quit as the rain was arriving.  We hung out inside, since you can't back in if you go out, and then when the storm passed, Brad and Denny worked on the door again.  They couldn't find anything broken, so the next thing is to call the repair man.  We ended up hanging out with the Kizer's again and never came home for dinner until 8:00.  Cooked a couple of sausages, a quick call to Lynne, then off to bed about 10:30.

Monday I got up and headed off to the Webster Flea/Farm Market with Dee, leaving Brad to deal with the door.  We had a nice time, had a large sticky bun for brunch, shopped for veggies and strawberries and then headed home about 1:30.  Still no luck with the door, the repair guy was here, but really didn't know anything more than we could figure out.  We just kind of hung out then about 5:00 headed out for dinner with Denny and Jan.  We just went to 'Howies', a family dinner, where we all had the meat loaf, not bad, and then got home about 6:30, just in time for Jan and I to go play Bingo.  Jan ended up winning 2 games....me none, but we had a good time.  Back home about 9:00 then off to bed by 11:00.

Today we got up and out the door about 8:00, Jan and Denny are packing up and hitting the road , heading up to Myrtle Beach, SC, with a stop somewhere in between.  After they left a few more phone calls about the door, service guy here again, I finally go to do laundry about 11:00.  All the washers in the CG are full and there are people waiting.  I go back to the RV get Brad and over to the laundromat across the street.  I work on the laundry and Brad went to pay the service guys $200.00 for telling us they can do nothing to help.....what a rip off.  We get done at the laundromat, then home with me and Brad's off and running again.  He gets back so we begin the 2 hour job of packing and stowing the outside decorations, chairs, etc.    At about 6:00 we ordered take-out from Coyote Rojo, can't open the door from the outside, so one of us has to stay inside, so back to the RV for an eat-in, take-out dinner.  So now I am just trying to finish the blog, watching NCIS....not a good combo. 

We are leaving tomorrow, so I'll try to keep things up to date.  See ya, Diane
