Modifications Etc.

Tuesday my sister and her husband (Pam & Dennis) showed up for a two-week visit so we've been kinda busy, and forgot to update.  They are parked on the spot right next to us.  Even though the park is not that big, and we could all use the exercise, it's still handy just walking 15 feet to visit.

The four of us got in the pool and hot tub.  It's a lot more fun playing volleyball with four instead of just me and Mark.  That evening I had dinner for them while we caught up on what's been going on.  They had just come from Mardi Gras in New Orleans and we were anxious to hear about that.  I'm pretty sure I never want to go back to New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

Yesterday Mark and I were going to golf but when he came back from the clubhouse for his coffee, he let me know that I had been cut out of the golf for the day.  That was fine with me.  It was a gorgeous day and I stayed outside and read my book for at least 3 hours. 

Two of the guys Mark golfed with are here in the park with several of their friends.  They gather nightly (weather permitting) at 4:30p for Happy Hour.  We have participated numerous times, and brought Pam and Dennis with us yesterday.  Someone brought shrimp scampi and a cheese ball.  A good time was had by all, even if we had to listen to Olie and Sven jokes from the North Dakotans. 

After teaching Pam and Dennis how to play Joker last night, we headed back to the trailers.  It was a good night to watch the Olympics.  Those snowboarders and downhill skiers are a breed of their own.  Go U.S.A.!

Today Pam and I will go to the Ladies lunch (Buffalo Hot Wings and a visit to the cupcake joint) while Mark and Dennis putz around the RVs.  We are going to once again, put a different TV mount in the trailer.

We got in one lap this morning, but it took 1/2 hour.  Too many people out wanting to talk.  Once back around to our trailer, the favorite dog in the park, Bart, a 150 lb. Great Dane, came by with his owners, Mike and Ann from St. Clair, MO.  Turns out they and Dennis know lots of the same people.

Bart always rides in the truck with his big head sticking out the moon roof.  His owners tell us that once they get to 70mph, he moves back inside.
