A Typical Sunday?

Here I am back from our morning walk...notice the long shadow...it's early and warm. Mmmmm, I like that part of being here. I'm doing the 'typical g'morning wave', that we snowbirds give each other. There are so many out walking, I've thought of recording my voice saying "good morning". Then I would just have to hit a button instead of saying it over and over.

The owner of this lot thought she wanted some aloe vera plants, but didn't want to buy them until next winter. She doesn't know much about plants and what needs watering and what doesn't. This morning we found four bags of aloe plants hanging on a fence for "free". We brought two of them back and planted them on the outside of the fence. That's where we've planted other "free" plants we've gotten. Donzelle can move them or toss them next year when she gets around to landscaping. The front of the fence looks pretty good now...awfully bare before.

After a quick breakfast we ran down to Ron and Margo's place. They live in one of the hundred or more RV parks in the area. Many of the folks have bought 'park models' and no longer drive their RVs to Yuma. Margo and Ron bought an older park model with tip-outs. It's not much bigger than our RV. There are quite a few couples from their part of Eugene that live in this park and many Canadians. The advantage of the parks are the many activities that bring the residents together into close-knit communities. This is where I go to play bingo. But the parks have rules, and many of us don't want more rules in our lives...hee-hee...
Norman spent a couple hours helping Ron install new flooring and a beautiful toilet, while Margo and I ran around in her golf cart and sat in the sun and gabbed.
The rest of Sunday was pretty quiet...read the paper...chatted with the neighbors...a bike ride...watched a little of the Pro-Bowl game...
