Saturday Feb 15th

Oops, never got to do a post yesterday.  We were busy.
  The day started with a bike ride for me and water aerobics for Marg.  Our blues brothers group had a second rehearsal in the late morning, we were better than the earlier one, but still a bit of a train wreck.  In the meantime, Marg had been to see the Aho's and arranged to go over the park model with them.  So we had a quick lunch and then down to the park model for 1:00PM.  They went all over the various things they thought we needed to know and showed us the $60 receipt for something 4 years ago & the 2 TV's that came over on the Mayflower.  We also talked about their intentions and travel plans.  While the place is supposed to be furnished, it looks like they will take everything that fits in the truck.  Not a problem for us as Marg wants her own stuff anyway and told them to take whatever they want.  Most of these places change hands with the sellers taking their clothes and walking away, but ours will probably not be like that.  It also gave us an opportunity to look the place over and while I thought it is fine as is, it seems painting, new floors and a new bed are high on the list.
  By now it was 2:30 and we had to do the prep work for breakfast Saturday morning.  We got the sausage & bacon on trays and in the fridge and all the other stuff set out.  This took about an hour, so then it was happy hour.  We went to Pat & Diane's where there was finger food and 2 other couples, guys that I golf with & the gal that found the park model and got Marg involved.  Just getting into it and it was time to get to the rec center so that we could sell the 50/50 tickets at the door.  Pretty good result and then the sock hop started.  We had a pretty good turn-out and Marg & I made a few turns on the floor.  It was hilarious from the start, with the park manager, Curtis

 showing up as a bad biker on a little girls bike.
 At the mid-point the 4 other guys & I did the blues brothers routine to the song - my girl by the temptations.  It was hilarious, we pulled it off pretty good.  Again Curtis, the park manager had a big butt strapped on under his sport coat.  The other members were: Malcolm [singer], Clyde & Kenny.  It was well documented with video and posted on facebook.
  After they had some fun stuff, like the person who stuffs the most marshmallows in their mouth, whistling after eating crackers, you know the stuff you don't do everyday.

  Then after a bit of dancing, out came the limbo stick.  Marg used to do this quite a bit when she was much younger, but hadn't done it for many years.  Well she was up and at it.  I'm not certain, but her and Sherri and Doris were well into the wine.  Anyway Marg was the last person to clear the bar, frankly I was glad to see her get to the end and win it without getting hurt.  LOL  As luck would have it one of her buddies, Sue, took a video and posted it on FB.  By the time we got back to the rv and had a coffee, it was time for bed.  Just can't twist the night away like we used to.

  Saturday morning it was 6:30AM and off to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for 75 park residents.  Marg did the scrambled eggs and I did pancakes as per our jobs last year.  We think it came off pretty good, but with the clean up after, it's a lot of work.

  After we went out looking around at paint, flooring and tools.  With the work we are looking at, I don't think my Leatherman and pocket knife will be adequate.  We can't really do a lot until possession as we need to takes some measurements.  Saw some nice stuff and we are pretty sure the floors will be laminate.  By that time it was happy hour, so went to the Johnson's.  It was here I got in trouble, nothing new for me.  I had forgot that we were to go into the desert on Monday and agreed to golf with Gene & Gary.  When I agreed to golf, I knew there was something on Monday, but having a senior moment, could not think of it.  I think the gals mainly re-hashed the sock hop and watched the video Marg took.

  Went to dinner with Kenny & Doris and Norm & Mavis.  It was a place we had never been, but as luck would have it we had a coupon in our book for it.  Food was pretty good and we had lots of laughs.

  So busy I forgot to report on the weather.  It is HOT, I think it was 82F on Friday and today got up to 85 or 87, about as good as it gets on a summer day in GP.  Oh yeh, we are definitely sleeping in tomorrow morning.
