Another gorgeous day

The weather was great today, hot and sunny. Tomorrow is forecast at 79F. Wayne and Martha left today for Laughlin & then Las Vegas to fly home. We sure enjoyed our time with them & hope things work out for their return next winter. When Wayne & I were playing crib yesterday a roadrunner went through the park. They are like big skinny chickens. Wayne was looking around & said he was wondering where Wiley Coyote was. LOL It's been around here for a week or two now, but you don't see it everyday. Most time when you see them, they are too quick to get a good look at. I went to coffee & donuts this AM & sat with the usual group, even though the table has been last for the past couple of weeks. We had a new chant today - we're not last. I was threatening to abandon them and find a luckier group. Bluberry fritter with the coffee. Marg never made it this AM inspite of being up, rather she stayed in with her yogurt. After that, Marg did go over to the rec hall. Her & a group of ladies made up the mixture for the sloppy joes. Tomorrow is the park-wide yard sale. It includes a craft & bake sale in the hall. They also sell the sloppy joes & pie, which are both really popular. They were really worried because the 2 ladies that usually organize it were not able to do much this year, but were pleasantly surprised to learn that Marg had worked on it each of the past 2 years. The association group commented that they need more people like her. Just quietly contribute to making this such a great place to winter. Looks like I will be out of luck for lunch tomorrow unless I have sloppy joes & pie - yeh, that's what I'll do! I played pool in the inter-park tournament today. Mike & I played the 2 top players on the other team & won one of our 3 games. We should have won 2, but I messed up pretty bad on a shot for the 8 ball. Our park only won 5 of the 18 games, because the competition was tough. They only brought 7 players, so all of them played 2 or 3 times, while we had our 12 players [everyone plays here]. We have had this happen with Mountainview before, only their good players show up, makes you wonder what is going on. After supper Marg & I went for a walk around the park. She stopped in at one of the units that have their table out with everything for sale tomorrow, it's a lady & her husband who used to live in Peace River, she went to school with Richard Proulx. Marg bought a coffee maker for Kenny & Doris to put in their park model. Pretty funny because she came out to see who was prowling around & when she saw it was Marg, made the sale. Kenny has offered use of their park model to us for Bill & Patti to stay in when they get here. What we haven't told Bill & Patti is about the old guy next door who is a nudist. LOL!
