Friday, Jan 20th

 The weather is in the grips of a winter storm that is dropping snow in the high country and rain in the valley.  It rained off and on most of the day and is forecast to rain at night, so far that seems pretty accurate.  I think the snow is above the 5,000 ft level and some areas are expected to get well over 12 inches.  The only good thing is the temperatures are still in the 50's and while that is not what we signed up for, it will get warmer, it will get hot.  But tomorrow could be damp.  LOL
 This morning we pretty much stayed in.  Marg had a couple of visitors come to the house, but that was about it.  After lunch we went down to the Rec Hall where a couple in the park were celebrating their 50th anniversary.  They are from Wisconsin and actually celebrated their anniversary at home, but wanted to do it with their friends here, so they provided cake and ice cream today and a bit of a program that was entertaining.  The rainy day might have had an impact as well free cake & ice cream, but they had over 100 people there to celebrate and have a few laughs, making for a nice day.

  While there Gary came up to me asking if I was busy tomorrow morning.  Well I was driving 5 ladies to a park sale.  But Gary was stuck for someone to make pancakes on their breakfast crew, so I agreed to do that for them.  I guess I can get them all made and out and still get out by 8:30 to drive the ladies and if I do it will be without helping them clean up.  Hey that could be good.
  Supper tonight was Golden Corral, so as Char would say get out your buffet pants.  There were two other couples going and they had asked us to join them.  It must have been my night to cook as Marg agreed and just told me we were going a few days back.  The other couple ended up with a single lady who came with them.  Then we ended up with two other single ladies coming with us, so we were 9 in all and for a couple of them it was their first time to Golden Corral and they seemed to enjoy it.  On the way out Marg convinced a couple of the ladies that they should take home a bag of cotton candy and then took one herself for the lady next door to give to her mother.  It was actually her mother who lived next door and has moved to another park because she needed a bigger unit for health reasons.
