Today was another beautiful day, not what the weather forecast was so we enjoyed their mistake. This morning John went for a haircut and to pick up our awning shade so I took advantage of his absence to give our little home on wheels a good cleaning.

After I finished the cleaning I walked down and paid our electric bill, which was exactly the same to the penny as the one for December, and then stopped at the veggie guys trailer (he comes to the park every Friday). I got grapes, red potatoes, orange peppers, romaine and asparagus so we are all set for a few days.

I was going to sit out when I got back but it was too sunny and hot, fortunately John got back shortly after me and got the awning out so I was able to grab my book and chair and kick back and enjoy a nice afternoon. Late in the afternoon I went for a walk while John went for his bike ride.

Dinner is over and tonight is another quiet evening of watching TV or reading – it all depends on what is on TV. As usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.

Today was another nice day but I think that is about to change – they are calling for cooler temperatures, cloud, wind and possible rain on the weekend, oh well, we have had such a nice run of beautiful weather we can’t complain if we get a few crummy days.

Today we went to Kneaders for lunch and had soup and bread which was really good, we went to the new one at the mall as there were a couple of stores we wanted to stop at; while John went to Circuit City to see if there were any deals (there weren’t!) I did a quick run into Target, then we stopped at Sports Authority to check out a shirt Mike had asked us to look into.

From there we went to the market and I got some books which I really needed and while I was browsing in the book store Sherry called me to tell me the outfilt I wanted was in so I was happy to go pick it up. After the market we drove through a couple of RV parks in the Foothills, we didn’t see anything that impressed us, they were all old parks with small sites. A stop at Fry’s and a stop at Wal Mart finished our shopping day.

Dinner is over – wings which were really yummy, and we are now watching the “A” news out of London. As usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.

Today was pamper Carolyn day, I headed out this morning to Wal Mart for a pedicure (there is a fellow who does a really good pedi at the Wal Mart on Avenue B) and then after my pedicure I decided to get my hair cut. After that I wandered around Wal Mart for a bit (boy, did my feet feel good!) and picked up a couple of things then I went to J C Penny.

I spent a long time there and ended up buying a couple of pairs of capris and a couple of tops – I find trying to buy tops very frustrating with my arm but finally did find a couple that were okay. John wanted a memory stick from Circuit City so I stopped there in hopes of getting him one but they were all gone so that was a waste of a stop. From there it was home as I thought John would be wondering what happened to me – I was gone for about 5 hours! I got back just in time to talk to Mike so I was happy about that.

We sat outside for a bit after talking to Mike, then all of a sudden it was time to think about dinner – where or where do the days go! As usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.

Today was another really laid back day. John went for a couple of bike rides, I went for a nice walk and stopped for a quick visit with Brenda then a stop at the library to pick up a couple of books, now how exciting is that!

I spent most of the day lazing in my chair and reading but, as usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.

Okay, I won’t bother with weather reports until we get something other than these beautiful sunny days, we will just enjoy them as they keep coming.

I did some cleaning this morning then we did a shopping run this afternoon. We went to Sew Masters and ordered a shade for the end of our awning, it will take a week to 10 days to make so we are glad we got it ordered now. Then we went to Staples to make a couple of photocopies, then to the mall to get something in the mail. While there I went into J C Penny’s and they had a real good sale on but I didn’t have a lot of time as John was waiting for me so I just got a top, then it was a stop at Circuit City where John got a new camera bag then on home – no Wal Mart again today.

By the time we got home it was time to start thinking about dinner. Tonight is TV and reading. As usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.

Sunday - February 1, 2009

Today was another gorgeous day and was pretty laid back – we didn’t do very much. When John was out for his bike ride this morning he stopped for a minute at Steve and Brenda’s and Brenda gave him a large bag of salad mix – thanks Brenda. We also talked to Nan & Kel today which I always enjoy.

I finished my book this morning – Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, it is almost 1000 pages so took a while to read but I really enjoyed it (I will bring it back for Derrick to read). I went looking for another book and only have one left, a Robert Ludlum, so will definitely have to go to the market this weekend and replenish my book supply.

This afternoon about 3:30 I headed to the Laundromat hoping it would be a good time and most people would be finished and getting ready to watch the Super Bowl, and it was good timing so I was happy as I hate it when it is real busy.

When I got back John was watching the Super Bowl so I continued reading but did watch the half time show – I wasn’t really impressed with it. Our son was in a pool and if Pittsburgh won by either 8 or 9 points he would either win all or half the pool, depending on the score but that didn’t happen – sorry Mike we were hoping you would win it.

We had had a late lunch so had a burger after the game was over. As usual, today was another great gift of a day in the sunny south and we look forward to another good day tomorrow.
