Parked in Starke

Monday January 7 2019

    Another really nice day sunny in the low 70's.  We stayed home, continued to clean and completely re-organized the basement bins. We have ordered new jack pads and leveling blocks so I am going to burn the old ones.  New ones are made of a dense rubber that is suppose to support 50,000lbs.  Diane did several loads of laundry and even hung out the sheets.  So nice having the washer and dryer. I

Decorations

found tools I didn't know I brought including a few items I thought went missing during the auction.  Diane found site decorations we haven't had out in years. We took several walks around the park and a short bike ride.  Happy hour, chicken on grill, just a great day.

    We were up, moving and with great dispatch headed off towards Jacksonville.  We left, stopped at the office to check for packages, stopped for gas and bathroom break to arrive in town at ….lunch time just like always.  We ate at Salsa's Mexican Restaurant, the food was great.  We then hit the Bed Bath and Beyond, Lowes, At Home (Diane said it's larger and had more stuff than any Home Goods she has every seen), General RV, Michaels and of course Winn Dixie.  We did get our

shopping done, bought chairs for the RV, coffee, wire and stuff to fix a kick  plate and although we didn't purchase one we shopped and made a decision on a sweeper. We stopped at office to pick up several packages we had delivered.   After a hard day of shopping it was happy hour and just sausages for dinner and several walks for Rudy.

    Today was supposed to be a stay home day but we ran out of grill propane so we  headed into Starke for supplies.  You won't believe it but we arrived in town at noon, go figure.  We stopped at a Thai restaurant I had a shrimp stir fry and Diane had Shrimp Pad Thai  food was great but they didn't get any of the six orders we saw served correct.  We ordered egg rolls as a appetizer and didn't get them.  When Diane told them we didn't get the egg rolls the waitress looked puzzled and said she didn't know what happened to them.  Off to the grocery store for just a few items and things were good until they didn't give Diane the bogo price for the chicken we got.  We stood in another line, then sent to the office at this point I headed to the truck while Diane and the chicken went to the office.  I loaded the groceries and pulled up to the door to get Diane( I was blocking driving lane) and it took for ever and just as she came out some little old grey hair lady just read me the riot act for being a ####### idiot for parking there.  But we got our free chicken!  After walking Rudy for awhile and despite the cool and windy weather we had free chicken for dinner.
