Jan 10th

Hard to believe but we are already 10 days into the new year.  Cooler day today, I think it only got into the low 50's.  Had to wear a jacket in the morning.
  We've been having a bit of a mail problem.  Today Marg discovered that the mail we are having forwarded here from home by Canada Post is in turn being forwarded to GP by the US post.  Talk about a gong show.  Anyway we got a big envelope of Christmas cards today.  Thanks everyone, they just about made it here on Ukrainian Christmas.
  As you may recall we left before the rv wash people were done, so went out early in the morning to have a look at the job.  It looks great, they put a liquid was in the rinse water that really brings up the finish.
  This was a red letter day, Marg went to coffee & donuts with me this AM.  It was pretty well attended and the donuts were good.  Actually I had a blueberry fritter.  They go over events for the coming week at the meeting.  It's really good for people who are newly arrived in the park.  For the rest of us, it's a good excuse to coffee together.  We had a guest speaker from the AJ food bank, it turns out the rv parks are a major source of support for them.
  After Marg went shopping with Betty & Sue.  Mostly grocery stuff I believe.
  It was inter-park pool tournament today, so I played.  We played Mountain View, our closest rival, so 3 of us walked over.  The guys my partner & I played were pretty good.  We did well on the first game, then they ran the table in the second.  We struggled in the 3rd, but I just kept hooking the guy who ran the table.  Finally after the 3rd straight hook, he sank the cue ball while he was on the 8 & they lost.  A win is a win -- right?  I am kind of known for my ability to leave the others tough, sort of the park hooker, LOL!  That's life in a seniors community.
  Kenny & Doris stopped in and had a beer with us later in the afternoon. After we went out to Los Gringos Locos, it's our favorite Mexican restaurant, not just because there is a coupon in our book.  I had the green horny & a burrito, while Marg had a burrito and an enchilada.  The beer was good & Marg reported that the margarita was as well.
  Our weather here is going into the tank for 3 or 4 days.  Everyone is covering the citrus trees as the overnight lows are forecast at 28 for 2 nights.
