It's Girl Scout Cookie Time!

It seems that everything is now breaking on the trailer.  When we shut the door to leave the park on Monday, the handle on the screen door broke off.  Since we were heading to Walmart, we took the back route to go by Frank's RV.  As luck would have it, he's closed on Mondays.  Next we went to Camper Clinic where we have spent a fair amount of money in the past two weeks on other broken parts.  He did not have any handles, but did say they would be coming in on Thursday.  Bummed out because the weather's been so nice and we couldn't leave the door open, we splurged at Buffet City.  Still yummy.  We suspect they will really keep up the good food and service since a brand new Chinese Buffet opened yesterday in town.  (Erik and Tania tried it out today and said it was delicious!)  We needed a big meal because Monday evening was the second "Meet and Greet" in the park and we knew we would just be having snacks, beer, and wine.

We did get something else though. 

Yes, Skyla, the granddaughter of one of the park residents is a Girl Scout and Monday was the first day they could sell them.  Her mom loaded up the van and came into the office so everyone in the park could buy.  I think she made quite a haul.  The good news this year - you get the cookies immediately without having to order them and then wait.  (It's now Thursday night, and I have not opened up any of them yet.  Mark did open up a box of mints.)

Tuesday we to Frank's RV to get the new handle.  All he had was three left-hand ones, but we needed a right-hand one.  He did have some brand new RVs in his lot, so we took a peak at those.  Still haven't found any that I like as much as ours, but still fun to look.

Yesterday we loaded up Butch and headed to Rockport (60 miles away) to yet another RV dealer for the handle.  Mark had called in advance and was told that they had it in stock.  Butch was happy to go for a ride so off we went.  I also took back a $50 refrigerator fan that we had bought over a year ago at this RV dealer, but it wouldn't fit in the available space.  I thought I'd give it a try to see if I could get a refund or store credit.  The lady at the counter was more than happy to give me the money back.  Woohoo!  No receipt, but the package still had the tag on it. 

The full moon last night was beautiful.  I tried to get a picture, but it didn't turn out too good.  Today has been extremely windy all day long.  We were supposed to golf today, but Pam & Mike asked us to work for them since Pam had tooth surgery yesterday.  It was a busy day, but it was also a very crappy weather day.  It rained most of the morning, and around noon the winds were 30mph.  One resident in the park had his awning blow off.  We watched the forecast yesterday, and took ours down before the cold front got here.

We just got back from the Thursday night pot luck dinner.  Quite the variety tonight.  Someone brought venison.  I thought it was really bad corned beef; Mark thought it was really bad ham.  I took Shepherd's pie.  There was none left, and I took a batch and a half.  Roger made turtles.  Yummo!  Monette sent about 10 of them home with us.  We really don't need them, but they'll get eaten.

Butch playing tennis.  He loves to run with the ball in his mouth.

Mark modeling one of his Christmas gifts.  He's going to be wearing it a lot in the next few days.
