No Room At The Inn

Scenes from our final meals with Pam and Dennis:




Lunch at the Colony Creek Country Club restaurant.  Pam and I both ordered the Monte Cristo.  Neither one of us had ever had one, but it sounded interesting.  It was basically  a club sandwich, deep-fried in a light breading, then dusted with powdered sugar, served with strawberry preserves to spread over it.  It was wonderful!  Not at all healthy, but hey - nothing else we've been eating has been healthy either.


Dinner at Dairy Treet.  Just like the old ice cream stands when we were kids.  You walk up and order your food; 15 minutes later it's ready.  We all stood at Dennis' tailgate to enjoy.  Mark had a burger to determine if the burger from lunch was better than the burger at dinner - he decided the golf course had the best burger.  Pam, Dennis, and I had the Chicken Basket.  It came with 4 or 5 large chicken strips, fries, and a bowl of gravy.  Delicious!  To top it off, we all had ice cream for dessert!

I'm happy to report that even though we ate out lots during the month Pam and Dennis were here - I was able to not gain any weight.  They shame us into walking a lot more then we usually do. 

Friday we had to work, and Pam and Dennis headed off to Kemah, TX.  It was sad to see them go, but we'll see them next month in Nashville.  Butch was moping all day Friday because Pam wasn't next door.

He kept walking over to the empty lot searching for Pam. 

It was a long weekend working.  Since the RV park is full, no one is coming in, and the only people calling are looking for long-term spots because they are working in the area.  It's real easy to say, "No spots available."  Unfortunately, it makes for an excruciating long day.  Sunday night couldn't get here fast enough for us.

It's bad enough that we must set an alarm clock for work on the weekends (start at 9:00am on Saturdays and Sundays), but it was worse today because the carpet cleaners were coming between 8 and 8:30am.  The carpets now look brand new!

Since the floors were wet, we headed to the golf course and left Butch to inhale the lemon smell that the carpet guy put on.  12 hours later, and I still can't get that smell out of my nose!  We had planned on waiting until after lunch to golf, but the 40mph winds predicted for this afternoon had us getting there by 10:00am.  We didn't do great, but it was nice being out there - it had been two weeks since we had golfed, and over a month since going to Riverside Golf Course.
