RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!


It continues to be cool, cloudy and wet here. The forecast says only one more day to go. By Sunday it is suppose to improve.  It was cool again Thurs. night reaching 5C and the high was 8 during the day yesterday.

 

Cathy wanted to go to the Resort meeting which they have every month to see what that was all about. Don was going so invited her to come along with him. Cathy said it was run by the Resort manager (Linda) who happens to be our neighbour on the left.  The topics covered the planning of a new Recreation Center, the selling of two other Resorts nearby by the owner, a roadway repair to the entrance and answering complaints about cats being at large and messing on other people’s yards. Linda indicated cats have to be leashed just like the dogs. The meeting ran for an hour and provides a great two way communication tool.

 

When Cathy got back we received an email from Tonya/Don saying they were going shopping after lunch and asked if we wanted to join them. Of course we said yes as we are starting to climb the walls due to the weather.

 

 They have a lot of stores here which we do not have in Ontario such as Academy Sports + Outdoors. This is like the Bass store I talked about earlier with a lot of sports gear and clothing. Since the weather has been quite cool I picked up a nice long sleeved shirt with two Velcro breast pockets regular $20.00 for $13.99 plus 8.25 % tax. Cathy also spotted a top she needed to go with a previous top she bought??   

 

We also picked up a few needed groceries and then decided to go out for dinner at a wing place. They had a selection of at least 15 different wing sauces that ranged from mild to very hot.  I stayed with the mild one. Don tried a medium hot and said it had a pretty good bite to it and Tonya went even hotter with Caribbean Jerk. Cathy had a shrimp dish with a sauce but found it very salty.

 

It was a great day even though the weather didn’t cooperate. We always have a great time when we are with Tonya and Don. 

 For some reason I am not able to uplaod pictures. Sorry, trying to work on it.

All for now....
