Cathy and I thought we would go over to the Rec. centre today for lunch. The menu has a selection of a soup of the day, hamburger, chicken and bbq beef sandwiches, club house and blt's. Cathy tried the blt with the home made beef barley soup. I went with the bbq. beef sandwich a with fries. Along with this we can help our selves to fresh rye and wheat bread, various veg. and fruit salads. All for $5.00 each.
After lunch we sat out, Ron and Janet came over and we watched as their contractor was installing their awning. Just two doors down from them our other friends from happy hour Don and Tonya (from South Dakota) were getting their yard dug up to expand their cement surface. Then, they too are going to have an awning installed. These contractors seem to be some where in the park doing a project for the property owners. Since there was already a few of us sitting out at our place the happy hour congregated here.
New awning
Digging out for cement expansion
The properties in our area are all for sale except the already purchased ones. On average they are 40 feet by 72 feet and have all the services at the site. They were selling for $26,000.00 but are now going for $19,900.00. You have to pay about $800.00 in taxes, your own hydro and $140.00 /month for maintenance - gas cutting and all the amenities in the park including two tickets with 20 rounds of golf for the year. Some sites are currently being sold by the current owners already and they have expanded the cement area and added a cacita. For more $ of course.
As we sat out we saw some of the happy hour gang arriving back from their family Christmas visits. Doc and Nancy from Kansas and Tom and Bernie who were visiting family in northern Texas. We are told there will be others arriving soon whom we have not met coming from Ontario.
Mocking bird
Til tomorrow...
