Friday, March 16th

A nice day in the valley.  It was warm early in the day and just got better throughout the day.
  Marg had an entertainment committee meeting this morning. She now sits on the committee that plans events for the park and then puts them together at the designated time.  This also includes decorating the hall and anything else that is involved in making it happen.
  I sprayed some weeds around the place this morning.  Then I sharpened all the kitchen knives using a stone and a ceramic sharpener to get a good finish.  Then I did some cleaning in the truck and a bit of visiting around the park where I found out some interesting information on a yard sale.  When Marg got back we went to take a look.  When we got there we found two other couples from our RV park checking it out as well.  One of the interesting items for me was a running model T with a rumble seat.  It was in pretty good condition, so an interesting car.  Marg found lots of nice stuff especially the new air fryer at a good price, but it did not have the manual, so she passed and all she got was a pie lifter.
  Lunch today was egg muffins on English muffins.  This is one of our favourites for lunch.  It was nice enough that we had lunch on our outdoor table in the breezeway.
  After lunch I did some vacuuming outside.  The front step carpet seems to pick up everything and it all shows, so it was my main target.  I recovered the back step last year and it is no where near the problem, so I will probably re-do the front one.  Then Marg did the golf cart floor and some of the carpet in the breezeway.  By the time we finished, I needed to change the vacuum bag in the shop vac.
  Marg went out shopping she was looking for pompadoms for supper tonight, as she had no luck yesterday, so we went out to Fry's to see if they had any, but nothing.  In fact most people had no idea what we were looking for.  Funny as she finds these at home in GP, we would think it would be no problem in a bigger place.  Another thing we gave up on today.  There are a few Indian grocery stores on the internet but they are not close to here.  In fact Marg had even made a dish of cucumber & yogurt for when we found them.  She had been talking with a couple friends a while back and they had agreed it would be nice to have a curry night as they both enjoy it.  So it was planned that they would each make a dish and we would have dinner at Bob & Shari's on the patio.  The other couple is Canadian but they were both born in England and his sister has been over here for a visit, so that made 7 for dinner.  Marg's dish for tonight was butter chicken, one she has made numerous times and it's always good.  This week a second dinner was planned among the group we happy hour with to celebrate March birthdays, but we had to pass having already made plans.
  Supper was as planned on the patio at the Smith's and it was very good.  It was handy having the cart as we had lots of stuff to pack over there.  The food was great and we had a fun evening with these good folks.
