Saturday Feb 4th

Happy birthday Anna. It was nice to be able to talk with you today. We both love you!
An early start to the day. It was our morning to work on the Canadian breakfast crew. We were up and in the kitchen by 7AM. That is a serious commitment for us, who rarely set an alarm. Anyway Marg scrambled a dozen dozen eggs, none of which turned green. That may seem odd to you, but for some reason in this setting, eggs will turn green & then it's hard to get people to eat them. I think it must be the water, LOL. I was back on pancake detail & made a couple hundred of them. The starter batch of batter is an entire bag of the Costco pancake mix. The menu is: bacon, sausage [or links as they call them here], scrambled eggs, pancakes, biscuits & gravy and orange juice. We never had to medi-vac anyone, so assume the food was OK. We all dislike the clean up, but in my case, I have to clean the grill. It's a job & a half, I can get about 18 pancakes going on it at a time, so a big hot cooking surface.
After we went and checked out a couple of park sales. There was one at the next park over as well as a good one at Eastgate. Marg got a few good things, I think.
Onward to Costco, we have never seen it that busy. It was crazy in the parking lot, in the store, at the gas pumps. This will be our last Saturday to go there. We do have 7 days a week that we could do this.
Got back to the park just after lunch time & I played pool while Marg lounged in the pool Nice day for it and the pool was 94F, she said it was just like a bath. Being Saturday, it was not crowded - everyone was probably at Costco!
Just before supper, Binger's stopped in for a cocktail. Sue & Betty were passing by and stopped for one as well & Blanke's just got home in time to join us. It was impromptu, but we had quite a bunch - I think the sound of a popping cork attracts them. LOL

  1. The Birthday girl stayed home with us for the night last night.. The bowling was fun... The Chinese food fab, we watched a show, played some cards and even the whiskey came out.. At one point we were all even singing American pie at the top of our lungs... The high-light besides her posh new radio her parents and grandparents bought her...was of course the snow! (Craig also spoiled her with a kindle)
