Another Day

Wednesday. Feb. 19th, 2013

The day started out great.  Rita, Clayton, Beth, Ernie and I headed for Plant City Flea Market.  We all bought something.  No, I do not think Clayton did.   We did find an old glass measuring cup,  pretty little teapot, 4 drinking glasses, smaller than what was at the "guest house" and a small snow man pin.  And a casserole dish for the "guest house"   The guest house is a trailer here in the park that Beth rented for 3 months.  Her friends from Iowa were here for two weeks, her Dad and sister were here for 2 weeks and now Clayton and Rita are here for 6 weeks.  They will go on a cruise for one week and at that time two of Beth's grown children will be here.  We have had a good time having these people here.  We also went to the Toufayon Cookie factory and bought more of those crisp Brownies, then McDonalds for a burger, and next, Parksdale for our strawberry fix for the week.  Second one for us.  We really watch our diets in Florida.


But then this after noon, Clayton, Mike and Ernie took out the micro wave that is/was in the RV.  Sun.. evening it would not work.  You could program it, but it would not run.  So it is out on the street, almost.  Monday we went shopping, Tuesday we ordered a new GE microwave, convection oven from Home Depot.  (it is just like the new one we have at home)  When we told the salesman that it was 16 years old, he said that is about 4 lives of a regular microwave.  So I guess we got all the use out of it we could.   Thursday they will deliver the new one sometime between 8:30 and 12:30.
Any bets on what the real time will be?  

Jack, our neighbor in the 5th wheel RV talked with Charlie about the empty storage shed behind his rig and lo and behold Charlie said we could use it. So Jack has a key and so do we.  That means we can leave the old lawn chairs here, my big garden pots and ?????  There will be room for the things Beth bought for the guest house to be stored there.  She would like to have the same trailer next year.  But Charlie would not guarantee that that particular trailer would be available.  He might sell it or rent it to a year around person.  He owns six trailers here in his park.  This one is nice, it has a bedroom and full bath at each end of the trailer, with the living space and kitchen between.  It also has a washer and dryer.  Time will tell.

My tea is ready,  Have a good day    jc
