Too Much Shopping!

Ken and I were up by 7:45 and decided to walk to the Dining Hall for our Free Breakfast!  We thought it was time we get back to walking daily and trying to get our 10,000 steps.  It has been quite awhile since that has happened!

We left the CG to go to Parkesdale Market, known for their wonderful strawberry shortcake sundaes and strawberry milkshakes.  We were strong and did not purchase any of those wonderful "creations".  (Actually it was only around 50 degrees and cloudy, so cold ice cream was not a huge temptation.  Also, it was right after breakfast!!).  We did buy lots of fruits and veggies at very low prices.  Then we bought some gas for $1.99 (who would have thought we'd every see prices under even $3.00!) and found another fruit stand that sold Honeybell Oranges, my favorite!  They are the sweetest and most juicy oranges I have ever eaten and I look so forward to them.  Unfortunately, they have a very short season, about a month!  

This famous market has pictures of many of the Presidents
eating here!  The original owners are from PA.

Sorting the oranges!

They are ready for a big day of  selling their strawberry
shortcake creation!

The treats are huge and not very expensive!

5 lb. Bags of navel oranges and grapefruit are only $1.69!

There are so many strawberry fields near the market!

Ready for "pickin"!



From there we went to a mall to find me a pair of Sanuk sandals, since I left my navy ones at home.  Sanuks are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn, the soles being made from yoga mats!  Couldn't find navy, but did get a white pair.  Then to Wal-Mart for a few additional groceries.  It was 2:30 till we got back to Waldo so we were starved and tired.

After lunch we walked to the main building to schedule the work needed on Waldo in March.  We will leave him here when we go home for 3 weeks over Easter and hopefully all the necessary work will be completed then.  We can hope!!!!

We actually cooked dinner in and spent the evening relaxing inside Waldo.  Hopefully tomorrow will be a slower, more relaxing day.  I'm not complaining!  The fun is only beginning!
