We’ve done quite a bit – the motorhome and ‘shed’ are
decorated for Christmas :) We had a
marvelous Thanksgiving dinner with approximately 100 friends.
I am the electronic Calendar activities lady here in the
park…and I’ve been busy getting the Dec calendar ready to go to print. There is always something to do here…just as
an example, Mon, Wed, Fri schedule looks like this: 9am exercise, 10am line dancing, 1pm Bridge,
4pm Social Hour, 6:30 all manner of games, from Texas Hold ‘em to Hand and Foot
dominoes and everything in between until 9pm.
The rest of the week is similar, but different, with busy needles sewing
club, 8 Ball Pool, Mah Jongg, Bingo,
card bingo, Ice Cream Socials, Chicken dinner, omelet in a bag breakfast,
pancake breakfast, Orientation, plus lots of holiday events going on. Is it any wonder we need a calendar to keep
it all straight! Whew!
Of course, we participate in a lot of these events, as well
as doing our own thing – a group goes to a local restaurant El Azteca on
Tuesday evening where they have roll back enchilada plates for $5, that include
three enchiladas, rice, beans and homemade tortillas. On Thur mornings we go to El Charo for breakfast
as a group.
Then David has Dr appts, as a matter of fact we are going to
Kerrville tomorrow morning for his pulmonary testing. Next week he meets with the specialist to see
what if anything can be done. I wish
they could give him something for the coughing – that is the worst.
I did do some black Friday shopping, getting a bread maker,
pizzelle iron, and a TV for the shed – and just made arrangements to get a
picnic table for our lot here. I shopped
online at Sam’s, Home Depot and Lowes, the least expensive picnic table I could
find was over $300…found a guy in San Antonio that makes ‘em for $125 for a
nice, painted 8 foot table…David and Bob will be going to pick one up on Sat
morning, and get some new batteries for our golf cart. That should be the end of our ‘big’ spending
for the winter!

Boy, we’ve been busy!
David had Doc appts in San Antonio, I’ve been playing Bingo, and Card
Bingo, and had some fantastic meals – both at home, at the Nutrition Center AND
in restaurants, had a meeting with our Thrivent Financial Advisors, made
several loaves of bread, just generally trudging right along! The weather has been phenomenal – highs in
the high 70’s and lows in the 50’s…gotta love it!

Tonight we had a block party here on our lot, to honor the
lady that used to have our lot! I made
sloppy joes, there were grilled hot dogs, potato salad, macaroni salad, veggie
plate w/dip, salsa and chips, brownies, cookies, chocolate candy,
kolatches…everything was excellent, everyone brought their own chairs and
drinks, and we just had a great time! We started at 4:30 ish and went until
7:30…NICE!

Once again just living the life :) Christmas preparations - made a batch of Pizzelles, baked a Texas
Sheet Cake, and hope to get chocolate Pizzelles for our D’Hanis kids – need to
make 3 dozen, so that will be on Wednesday.
On Saturday the park did omelets in a bag – two egg omelet,
ham, cheese, mushrooms, onions, jalapenos, hot sauce, along with toast, fruit
cup and coffee for $3…what a deal!
We’ve been to San Antonio several times, and will be going
tomorrow too! I have been going in to
play Bingo with Bob & Jan Wheaton, and Armando. We leave about 11:30 and get home about 4:30,
except last night when we stopped at Panda Express for take out dinner – boy it
was delicious!
Today Cinder has a groomer appt, as do David and I for
haircuts – different places from Cinder of course…grin.
