Sunday, Mar 11th

Happy Mothers Day to our mothers in the U.K.  It rained last night and was still sprinkling in the morning.  Once the sun got at it the clouds did not last and the day warmed very quickly.
  I got an early start and went to the church service in the park, had to wear a rain coat for the walk down.  It was about average for attendance but the announced it will end with the Easter Sunday service.  One of the ladies in the park sang a nice solo and the sermon was quite good.  One couple had their young grandson with them, who was very well behaved and the pastor gave him a small stuffed lamb, you know lamb of god.  Two of the couples there told me they are leaving next week as they have a medical appointment back home.  There was also a departure yesterday, so it is starting.
  When I got back to the trailer I made oatmeal for breakfast.  I'm not sure, but we get the same Quaker Oats here as at home.  They offer quite a few varieties that I don't think we have at home, but I stick to the same old tried & true one. 
  After breakfast we went out to look for a solution to the lighting at the vanity table Marg uses to get ready each morning.  There are two light bars with 4 bulbs each, but they generate too much heat, so by the time she finishes she claims it is uncomfortably warm.  We started out looking for and LED light option, but could not find anything that appealed to us, so we checked out light bulbs.  One of the problems is the fixture has candelabra bases and in the past bulb options were somewhat limited.  We really lucked out today at Lowe's as they not only had 40 watt equivalent bulbs but they were on sale, except they only had 6 in stock.  We bought at couple of 25 w, but they were not on sale.
  When we got home we tried the new bulbs out and they are excellent: lots of light and even after being on for a time the bulbs remain comfortable to touch.  I think we have very workable solution, but the ultimate test will be tomorrow morning when Marg uses it.
  Lunch was nachos and Marg made up guacamole dip, two kinds of salsa, nacho cheese and had taco chips from the Mexican grocery store [Carnicheria I think they call it].    They are not at all like the nacho chips we normally get, they are a lot better.  In the afternoon Marg did a load of towels and put them out to dry.  We also had a facetime with Char and two of the girls, so very nice day.  I tried to work on the golf cart a bit, but need to get a piece of hose or fluid pump.  I was trying to put hypoid oil in the gear box and probably in the rear end as well, if it needs it.  Stay tuned for a progress update tomorrow.
  After supper we went to ice cream social.  Marg tried a banana split flavoured ice cream that she said was very good and she had a piece of cake.  I just had the banana split, with regular ice cream.  The attendance there was good.
