Wednesday - I went for 8AM coffee with the guys at the clubhouse. 13 guys were there swapping stories and having a good time. It lasts an hour. At 9AM the "gentle exercise" class starts so we have to be out about that time.
There are now Aldi's stores down here, Kathy was so excited. We went to Aldi's for some groceries and stopped at Walmart to buy a new sewer hose for the RV. The sites here are large, but you are not supposed to back in so far that your back tires to past the electrical pedestal. The sewer lines run back there and they don't want the duals running over them. When I directed Kathy into the spot I stopped her so that the duals were several feet in front of the pedestal. When I hooked up the sewer I found out that the hose wasn't long enough. That wasn't a problem since I have a 2nd hose. Once both were connected I started to drain our tanks I found out that the hose I normally use had a decent size hole in it. I bought a new one at Walmart. I had to work and work to make the connections to the new hose. The plastic "clips" are REALLY stiff.
Then we stopped at Saraceno's for lunch. What a great place to eat! We arrived shortly after noon and were 13th & 14th in line for the buffet. Everyone goes through the all you can eat buffet line. The price is $14.35 for adults.
Many different dessert choices.
While we were sitting outside enjoying the great weather I had a visitor come check me out while I sat in my lawn chair. This was one big bug. It sat there looking at me for at least a minute and then flew off across the street. Watching it fly away reminded me of watching hummingbirds.
Thursday - There were 16 guys at coffee this morning. One of the guys was telling stories about humorous incidents during the 12 years he and his wife traveled to craft fairs selling their wares.
Kathy and I both worked on a puzzle until lunch.
We had lunch at the Jade Garden Chinese Buffet today, another of our favorites. Then we stopped at a Publix grocery for some fresh bread.
Back home Kathy took a nap and I read.
At 5:30 we went to the clubhouse for a potluck dinner. We sat with a couple who live on an island off the coast of Door county Wisconsin. I think they said Washington Island, which is about one-third as big as Cole county, MO.
One shortcoming of Rainbow Plantation is that they don't have WiFi and the cell reception here is terrible. When we were here 2 years ago I asked several people what they did for internet access. They told me they used their phones and that T-Mobile was the best carrier. My cell phone is a dual SIM phone so I tired to add a T-Mobile account on it so that I would have access to both T-Mobile and AT&T. I wasted many hours over several days before getting the T-Mobile working and learning that it wasn't that much better than AT&T. I can use my phone as a hotspot for blog posting but it isn't a smooth process.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours. He has blessed me.
