Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7, 2012

The Post Office was open but we did not see the mail lady at our box.  No deliveries today or we just did not get any mail?  It is slow getting our mail changed, but it is nice once it gets started to have our magazines and regular mail sent to Florida.

Busy week relaxing.  We did make it to the Plant City Flea Market.  I think I made the fastest trip ever thru that flea market.  I was going ahead of Ernie, calling him on the cell phone, popcorn friends are on row 3, tool man in East section, Mexican couple with vegetable stand are here.  There little daughter can now help?  About 3 years old now. 
I found a JJ pin and Ernie found two more as we were standing and going thru a pile of "jewels" the vendor had just dumped on her table.  I paid $2 for mine and Ernie paid 50 cents for his two.  But we helped the lady by straightening the mess of  "jewels" and separating them into flags here and stick pin backs there, etc.  We did make a stop at Parksdale for a strawberry parfait.  Only they had pineapple parfaits too, and Ernie got one of those.
Instead of stopping at Micky D's for a 99 cent burger we came on home.  There was one tired Ernie----we had a good time seeing our friends.
The popcorn couple are from Canada.  They have a beautiful red trailer that they have all there equipment in to make and sell their popcorn.  Only they did not bring it this year.  He has a new truck and they put the basics in it and came on down to Florida.  Did not want to take the hassle of the border patrol possible deciding they needed to check out the trailer.  They go to another flea market that is a 3 day market.  and this one one is only one.
The tool man and wife are from Indiana.  They have a park model in a park near us, leave there stuff here and travel in the summer in a class B RV.

Report on Ernie---- he is slowly improving.  And I feel he does not think so at times.  It is discouraging not to feel good for so long a time.  Mainly getting tired easily as at times it is hard to breathe after walking or exercising a little.  And then there is that cough that makes his side hurt, the side where they took out that half lung.  I am glad we are here in Florida and the weather has been warm.  He sits outside and does not have to worry about anything.  Well, almost.  Did we pay that bill?  What is for supper?

While doing the spell check I was thinking that an English teacher would have red pencil marks all over my paper.  Sorry, my grammar and correct speech are not what they used to be long ago.   poor excuse!   And with that it is one more game of spider and to bed.   Good night!    jkc
