Thanksgiving

to continue from the last blog. Fred's Buffet was a good meal. And enjoyed catching up with our neighbors. the week has gone by. Interesting to have more of the people in the park to speak to us and say "glad to see you back" or When did you get here? It has been a busy week. and it is only Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!!
We have much to be Thankful for. At the moment our health is good, we are walking some each day. Hope to increase the amount of walking. And thankful that we can come South to avoid the cold and have friends here we were excited to see again.

The RV is mostly settled. I need to wash the windows and get the bugs off also. We, mostly Ernie, used Austin's power washer and cleansed the cement patio. It gets black from mildew and just plain dirt. Looks so much better. Sunday we went to the Big Top flea market. I found another cat pin. With JJ initial on the back. The JJ is the brand name of some whimsical jewelry made some years ago. I will be looking for more of this JJ jewelry. Tuesday we washed the car and part of the RV. OK, the lower part that was painted a few years ago can be washed and rinsed and it then looks great. I got the dirt off from our trip down and also the diesal fuel off from the area where you put it in. Not much diesel, but it looks uhky
Also went to the AT&T store to look at new phones. No we have not bought one. Just looking.
found out that teachers and college students can get a discount on their bill. so called our daughter to have her check that out. Maybe save a few cents.

Wednesday, we got up early and headed out to the Plant City Flea Market. CHANGES have been made, parking can be a problem, altho we were early enough Parking wasn't a problem. Ernie did find 6 small pieces of silver. I bought some carrots, green peppers and a head of lettuce. From the Mexican family that we remember from last year. The little girl is now 18 months and still a little butter ball of a girl. Big brother and sister were there also, since school was out for the holiday. And then it was on to Parksdale and a strawberry parfait!!. Soooo good. And Parksdale has blacktopped their parking lot and shored up the beams on the inside. You just have to see this place to believe it. Hardly anyone there when we were there, it was barely 10 am. But I did get some more vegetables and some tangerines.
Nice size and sweet.

today is turkey day. after getting the patio cleaned this am we took it easy until time to go to Mimi's Cafe, in Brandon, Fla. Not too far from here. Turkey, mashed sweet and white potatoes, dressing and mixed vegetables. I had French onion soup (a cup) and the rest had salads. Had a lot of onions in it! Bread pudding and pumpkin pie were the choices for dessert. I brought some of my meal home and the pie. Good food.

Called some friends and family today also. All is well, hope all of you have much to be thankful to also. jkc
