Our first few days at our winter location have been
busy. As I noted in my last blog, we had
the brakes fixed in our Jeep the day after our arrival and John spent six hours
at the repair shop. He had his IPAD with
him and the shop had free WIFI so John entertained himself for the day by doing
his Bible study, watching TV shows on the IPAD and playing games. He ate lunch at a small restaurant across the
street from the auto shop and said they had the best chicken fry he had ever
eaten. One of the main ways he judges
chicken fry is whether you can find the meat!
So many places pound it out so thin it can be hard to find!
While John was gone for the day, I put up Christmas in the
motorhome and gave the girls baths. Now
the motorhome has a more festive feeling and the girls smell fresh and
clean. I’m trying to find a dog groomer
for at least one professional groom while we are here and that has been a
challenge. The reviews for most of them
in the area aren’t great. I think I may
have found one in Corpus Christi whose reviews are all very good. A bad haircut grows out so I’m more concerned
about how they treat the dogs and if the place is clean. I’ve heard horror stories about groomers.
On Saturday morning we checked out the breakfast that the park
serves for $3/person. The food was
excellent. They served bacon, sausage,
scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy and pancakes as well as coffee and
juice. When we had our food a couple we
had briefly met in the park waved us over to their table which was so
nice. They were a nice couple out of
Illinois. Both had been short haul truck
drivers.
We’ve met several folks but trying to remember their names
has been a challenge. We know that will
come as we spend more time with them.
There have been lots of dog walks and it seems like everybody has a dog
or dogs. Some have some very large
cats. One lady takes here cat out for a
walk in a wagon and her fur baby must weight 30+ pounds. Everybody seems to like to the dogs and engages
with them wherever we go, which is nice.
On Saturday, we took time to finish up a few outside decorations and
lights, drove around the area a bit, figured out where the church we hope to attend
was located, refilled a script, bought groceries and relaxed a bit.
Now it’s time for us to get into a routine that hopefully
includes exercise!
