GETTING BORED

We are hoping the weather will break soon as we are getting bored. It was cold, with a little drizzle in the am. The high reached 10C and the low Monday night was 7.

We just took the bicycles out to buy our water and stayed inside for the rest of the day. We did get together with the happy hour gang at a restaurant called Ram’s BBQ. They actually stayed open for us.

It is a cafeteria style dinner were you can have up to 3 meats and 2 side dishes with corn bread for $8.99. The meats were biscuit, ribs, sausage, meat loaf, chicken and catfish. Most of the meat was cooked outside behind the restaurant. Side dishes were beans, mashed potatoes, rice and bread.

We were home in time to play “Not your grammas’ bingo”. Four people share a full deck of cards (each person gets 13 cards). The caller calls out the cards one by one until there is a bingo. They play 3 games for a nickel, 3 games for a dime, 3 games for a quarter. The last game is for a dollar. It was a good time even though Cathy and I didn’t have any luck.

That’s it for the day .....

A QUIET DAY

The cold, cloudy weather is still with us but looking at the weather for north Texas we are still better off staying here. Monday night’s low was 7C and the high reached 15C. Florida seems to be getting above average temperatures, averaging in the 80’s with lots of sun.  

It was quiet here yesterday, but Cathy did go to exercise class with Tanya. We didn’t do much else but relax and watch some tv. This is a draw back when you have a motorcycle and the weather doesn’t co-operate. Every once and a while we would look out the window and watch Tanya and Don’s awning being installed. They had cement work done last week to first expand their cement surface. People can make these changes to their sites since they own them.

I thought I was getting a cold, but with talking to some of the other people they say it is allergies caused by orange blossom etc., so I have started taking some allergy medication and it seems to help.

There was no happy hour. (shucks!)

We were invited over to Tanya and Don’s after dinner to play Sequence, a board game where the goal is to get five buttons in a row on the board which match the cards you have. The Jacks are either wild or you can remove a competitor’s button. You play in teams and of course the guys won.  

All for now.
