Wednesday, Nov 14

Still a little chilly in Apache Junction, but it seemed a bit warmer than yesterday.  The nights are definitely jacket weather lately.  It got to about 18C today, so not too bad for us northerners.
  This morning we did a few errands around the park.  While Marg went to the hall to pick up a bunting bag she ordered from one of the ladies in the quilting group, I went to the office to make arrangements for transport to and from the airport next month.  The park manager offers the service, but he is getting lots of requests before and after Christmas.  Marg also checked the Thanksgiving dinner schedule and two groups have us booked in their table.  How did this happen, well apparently she agreed to help carve turkey for the dinner, how come I never knew this until now?  She has it sorted out now, but there is quite a lengthy story about this.
  That done we had lunch, it was French Toast, one of my all time favourites.  I brought a bottle of the maple flavoured syrup from home and she bought a nice French loaf.  Made for a very nice lunch as it is one of my fav's.  I always tell her you don't even have to ask if I would like French Toast, the answer will always be yes.
  After lunch I went to play pool for a bit.  There were a couple guys looking for a victim, so I joined them.  They were both normally very good, but may have been having an off-day.  Anyway I never played on a loosing team, so it was fun.  Marg has decided that small laundry loads are better than having a large batch, so did a couple loads.
   Then we went out to fine a stone to put our address numbers on.  We have a site number on a rock out front, but it is very faded form the sun so we want to do something better.  First stop was an rv salvage yard where we bought a concrete block that looks a bit like a pyramid.  She didn't like the easy to get ones, so I had to push back a thorny bush to get the perfect one.  The junk yard guy charged me $3 for it.  After thinking about it, we stopped in at Home Depot.  They had some that were nicer for $2, so that gave her a story she could hardly wait to share.
  When we got back happy hour had already started, so we went to join in.  Of course she told the story about my good deal on the block of concrete.   It got lots of laughs.  Supper tonight was burgers.  It was Gary's burgers and they are always good.  I don't believe we have ever missed having them.  Very tasty and very filling at a very good price.
  After supper I went to play poker.  We had a full table and the money seemed to change from person to person.  in the end there did not seem to be a large winner, but Lynette seemed to make out fine,  Me, well the crown bag was a little heavier and we had lots of laughs.  Well most of us, you know winners tell jokes - losers just say shut up and deal.
