Thursday, March 6th

Got up early and went to coffee & donuts this AM.  Marg went, which in itself is quite an event, LOL.
  Marg went to water aerobics, I guess there were fewer people, but they still had a good workout.  She was doing a bit of recruiting during the day for the aerobics group and I think got a couple of new recruits.  Me I was back on the tools, painted the rest of the primer in the park model.  Had a couple of building inspectors in, but as Marg was not there to conduct tours, they didn't stay long. It was kind of funny the walls are stark white and people say "Oh nice", just being polite I guess.  One was going golfing and was checking to see if I was seriously working or whether an 18 hole turf inspection was in the cards.
  After water aerobics Marg & Doris went to Cato's to pick out some outfits they will be modeling.  Apparently the ladies tea next Wednesday will feature a fashion show component and they are both modeling clothes.  Well wouldn't you know it, she found one she just loved, so rather than model it, she bought it to wear to the tea.  She also brought her fascinator to wear, so is well prepared.
  After lunch I did some other repair work while she took knobs off of the drawers and doors so that they too can be primed and painted, although a different color than the walls.  I had to hang around for the contractor I called to deal with the roof concerns.  It didn't leak bad, just a bit of dampness, but we really need to deal with it.  His evaluation was that the roof is still very good and that someone has been applying coatings that should never have been put on.  He suggested a plastic coat or seal or something like that he paints on and rather than caulking it will create a very long term barrier, Bud had him do it to his unit and it was very successful.  Should that not do the trick he said a roof over the area is probably our next solution.
  Took the screen door apart.  Kenny & Jerry found one for me, but it is too large, so has to be cut down.  Got about halfway through and Jim & Bethe showed up.  They had gone home and were not scheduled to be back this winter.  They had a family tragedy, her 11 year old grandson died and the whole park here had sent them a sympathy card.  They just had to get away so came for 3 days [they only live in New Mexico]; so we stopped and went to happy hour with them and the group.
  BBQ steak for supper and that was our day.
