Wednesday was a very windy day. Mark, Joe, Bob, and Gayle left the park at 9:30a for what was supposed to be a fun day of golf. Mark claims he "golfed like he's never held a club in his hands before." I think it's too much "guy" golf and not enough "wife" golf. The 25-40mph winds probably had something to do with the bad golf.
While he golfed, I started defrosting the freezer. Thank goodness for hair dryers. I know the fridge manuals say to never use a hair dryer, but who has 8 hours to wait while it defrosts naturally. Not me - I didn't have a cooler to put the food in.
Once done with that monthly chore, I went out and walked for several miles. I even tried jogging a while. I don't understand why I can run on a treadmill but not out on the streets. My breathing gets all messed up outside - or maybe it's because I'm singing out loud when outdoors. I'm going to keep working on it though.
At times during the day I was worried about the winds. We usually take the awning in when there are strong winds, but we didn't this time. Since we bought the new shade, it keeps the awning a lot sturdier. It kept making loud noises, and I thought the trailer was going to tip over. Once Mark got home we took it down, along with help from two of our neighbors.
It was then time to go to the Methodist church for spaghetti dinner. Each time we go, we get there earlier and earlier. The posted hours are 5:00-6:30pm. We arrived at 4:30 and were on our way back to the park at 5:10pm. We weren't even close to being the first people in line. As always, we stuffed ourselves.
Today started out rainy and windy so we headed down to Ocala. I wanted to get by Dillards for the Estee Lauder bonus time, plus I was out of moisturizer. I counted about 15 employees in this very tiny, yet only a couple of years old, stand-alone store. I only counted 3 customers.
By the time we made it back to the park for lunch, the skies had cleared up so we headed to the pool. It was wonderful. It's going to be cold for a couple of days so we figured we needed to get there today.
As I type, Mark is about 10 miles away for his second banjo lesson. Last week's first lesson was supposed to be an hour long. He was gone for three hours. Luckily the instructor only charges a flat fee. I think they tend to gab a bit. As luck would have it, he just pulled in. It was just over an hour today! He's just apologized to me for how it's going to sound this week!
