WORKING ON ODDS AND ENDS

Today wasn't offering much in the way of weather. When we woke up the sky was grey and looked like rain as the weather forecast was predicting. The wind was really blowing through the night until noon today. Watching the local weather they had tornado warnings in the Baton Rouge area, glad we missed that. However, we did not get any rain at all, the cloud cover slowly broke and  it became sunny by dinner time. The high was about 62.

Cathy did  couple of small loads of laundry and vacuuming and I did some computer work. We also had a discussion about staying here longer since we both like here a lot already, but decided after only 3 days it is too early to make a decision. When we were sure it wasn't going to rain we bicycled over to the recreation building to enquire about signing up for a Border Guard Tour we read about. Unfortunately, it was full. Apparently the Border Guards tell stories about what they have seen and stopped crossing the border. There is also a tour of the Boarder patrol building. I think it would have interesting to see.

When we returned to the coach we did some maintenance on the bicycles, oiling and checking the gears.

Last night one of our neighbours welcomed us over to join a group of other neighbours who meet every day at 4 to have a happy hour with some good conversation. You just walk around the block to see where everyone is congregating and join them with your drinks and chairs. Today they didn't have it due to the coolness.

Cathy was in the Christmas spirit again so decorated the coach with a bow and string of lights (both from the Dollar Store).  By no means a award winning display - but hey, we tried!


              Cathy says this is with the flash on - looks like the license plate is illuminated.                


                                                  Without the flash - what a light display!


Til tomorrow.
