SHE'S GONE SHOPPING AGAIN!!

We are still having a cool spell here, last night's temp. went down to 6C and it was quite windy. Friday's high was 23C under partial clouds.

Yesterday, Cathy was invited to go shopping with Tonya at the discount mall again. You should have seen the smile on Cathy's face. She was ready and out the door in no time.

So I stayed with the coach and did some tasks on it. Started the generator to lubricate all of its' seals and make sure everything is operational and exercised. The manual says it needs to run every month. I checked the coach batteries to make sure they are not running down in water. If they get too far down in water they will not regain their charge.

Don, Tonya's husband came over and asked if I wanted to help him install his water softener on their home. He really didn't need it, but it gave me something else to do. It kept us busy until the girls came back with their several bags of items. Then Don and I took off in his truck to go to Lowes and Home Depot to get some parts to install my softener. The installation will take place tomorrow as it was too close to happy hour when we got back and we could not miss it.

Happy hour was under the new awning Ron and Janet had installed on their home on Thursday. Towards the end of our social hour Don brought out his Christmas gift. A remote control truck. (Boy's and their toys.) He provided some entertainment with his truck and is even starting to be envied by Tom. Right now the truck will do 40 mph, it is set in "training mode" and will due 60 when he switches it to the standard setting. It was starting to get dark so Cathy went to our coach and grabbed our little lights we clip on the back of our bicycles when we are out at night and clipped them on his truck. Don thought that was cool and I am sure he will be out looking for some in the near future. Apparently, the resort is going to make a track for these toys to run on since there are about 12 people that own them already. Right now they get together over at the Golf Course parking lot.
