Saturday

Another first, got up early and had breakfast at the hall.  Pancakes, bacon, eggs, a great way to start the day.  It was a smaller than usual group for breakfast, but lots of our friends were there, so that made up for it.  No Marg didn't go for breakfast, it's not really her thing. 
  We had to hang around today as it was furniture delivery, so we spent most of the morning on the phone with either Mediacom or Tracfone trying to sort out our issues.  Marg re-arranged cupboards and found the perfume and cheque book she thought were lost.  We were pretty worried about the cheques, but it turned out that when she looked through suitcases again found them. I think she was more worried about the perfume, as it is a pretty swish one.  The TV went out again for a while and Marg is still getting dozens of text messages from people we don't know.  I think the TV is just the HD channels and that is why it's hard to diagnose.  Lots of visitors as there were still some people we had not seen, like Karen & Christine.  Karen stopped in because Marg had indicated she would help out with Christmas functions if anyone wanted.  Well Karen is looking after the party next week and saw Marg's facebook posts on baking, so they discussed what has to be done next week for party favours.

  Just around noon the delivery truck came and we got the lawn chairs out of the living room.  Then a bunch stopped in to see what we had purchased.  She picked pretty well, because it all fit and I mean just as the space is really limited in the trailer.  The loveseat is a single hide-a-bed and the two chairs are wall-away, to they all conserve space.

  After lunch we went out; Marg to Bells and me to Ace Hardware, they are in the same shopping complex, really handy.  Picked up some more stuff, me mostly repair stuff and some pest barrier to spray on the patio out back.  Trying to cut down the ant population.  I was going to get a pressure valve for the hot water tank, but it turns out there are 3 or 4 sizes, so that will give me an opportunity to go there again.  Also got a surge protector for the TV, DVD & all the junk Mediacom hooked up.
  Back for happy hour and our crowd was really small today.  Only 5 guys, but the women were there in numbers.  After we had our first bbq, turns out I had left propane in the tank and we were good to go.  We still had not done much of a grocery run, but had a good dinner with what was on hand.  Then went out to Basha's.  The girls discuss things like good deals and Basha's had a special on T-bone steaks, for this weekend only.   Ended up with a rain check, so it will be a return trip to there tomorrow.  They had a special on beer, but I thought I would get it tomorrow when I return.  Then back to Walmart where she bought a cart full of groceries, so we are set now.  Also picked up a few other things, but forgot to put more time on our main phone, so that means a trip back there tomorrow.  There price on beer was better than Basha, thankfully I waited.  Hey beer went up this year, it is $15 for a box of 30 cans.  Gee we really messed up today, every trip needs a return visit, and us so busy --not.  Even thought beer went up a dollar for a box of 30, gas is down to $2.50 or so a gallon, so drive more drink less might be the message they are giving us.
  Stay tuned tomorrow will be really exciting.  We will probably get the stuff we went for today.
