Just Like We Need More Stuff

June 22, 2014 Day 11

Walked to breakfast again today and met up with Franz and Marcia.  We had a nice relaxing breakfast and just sat and talked about things that had gone on since last summer.  We made plans to caravan with them up to McCall and plan to leave on June 29.

After breakfast we decided we had some necessary and some not so necessary shopping to do, so off we went.  First stop was Lowes as we have a Lowes card and we get a 5% discount, it get an extension cord.  If forgot to pack the one I have at home.  So much for lists, if you don't put it on the list, chances are it will not get packed.  We also needed an Indoor/Outdoor thermometer as all the ones we have went kaput, seems like we need to buy a new one every year, hope this one makes it through the summer.  It's always nice to know when it is over 100 outside and hopefully when we get to McCall it will tell us if we need a jacket.  I would have bought a couple of these chairs but no place to store them.



Then it was off to Bed Bath and Beyond with S armed with her trusty folder of coupons, to shop for new/replacement rugs for the RV, seems the other ones were warn out on the back.  We were successful and saved soooooo much money.

As luck would have it, there was an In-N-Out burger at the end of the parking lot so we stopped In and had some lunch.  Us and a hundred other people, some with screaming kids with bad manners.



Then it was for groceries to re-stock the produce and other things that go bad if you don't use them.

I don't even need to go shopping I have people shopping for me.  Someone has been in search of the perfect on course drinking vessel and they think they have now have it.

It got hot enough back at the RV park that I decided to go to the pool.  It was warm and quite relaxing as I was the only one there.  At first I thought that I had forgotten how to swim, but I got the hang of it after a while.  After the pool a little more TV watching, golf X's two and the US soccer match, thought they had them until the last, almost like the Longhorns.

Happy Hour and some dead chicken on the grill.  It was a monster chicken breast and cooked up nice and juicy and very tender,

We got news today, from Gretchen, that the Black Acura is finally leaving the family.  It has served the family well.  I used it for a number of years when I commuted back and forth from Austin to San Marcos when I was working at Thermon.  Steven used it for a number of years when he went to Baylor.  Kristen used it from the time she got her drivers license until just now.  It is going to a good home, right across the street from where they live.  If you look closely at the picture you can see a tear in Kristen's eye.
