We really enjoy the service at Edgewater and the very friendly people. We got a warm welcome back from Kaylea who is in charge of hospitality. The sermon was excellent and so was the music.
From there Ken and I went to Denny's for breakfast and had the same waitress we had several times last year. So good to see her again. Then on to Wal-Mart to finally get some groceries to put in our refrigerator. We are so ready to do some cooking and "eat-in"!
We returned to the CG around 12:30 and spent some more time organizing the car and Wilbur! Ken had a short night's sleep so he rested while I did some game playing and some work on the computer. I recorded expenses in our budget program while Ken made salads for dinner and carved the chicken we had bought.
We decided to go for a walk before dinner, so I put on my SAS and off we went. Unfortunately, it was a very uncomfortable walk for me and we had to "cut it short"! During the night and earlier today I had very little discomfort, but the pain when in my "suit" was crazy. It did let up when we returned!
We played some Hand and Foot, which I won, and then watched a Redbox movie we had gotten, "The Zookeepers Wife". It was both amazing, sad, and interesting. All in all, I enjoyed it! We were in bed around 10.
Today, Monday, it was only 37 degrees when we got up. I almost thought I was in PA. We hadplanned to play pickleball at 8:30, but it was too cold. So, we finished another game of Hand and Foot we had started yesterday and Ken won this one! Then we actually made breakfast, omelettes, and they were so good.
We left the CG around 9:45 to run errands. We stopped at Wal-Mart with a return, Wells Fargo to deposit money from the craft show, a stop at RV World to try to find a replacement for our under the sink water filter, only to find they don't make that model anymore! So, we had to find a replacement for that particular filter. Then to Costco with another re turn. We actually left Costco (1st time ever) having bought nothing - imagine that!
It was 1:30 till we got back to the CG and we were hungry, but we did stop and talk to Norman, one of the pickleball players from Canada. We had such a nice time chatting with him. Many of the Canadians we know through pickleball have already arrived here for the winter but we haven't had a chance to meet with them yet. Hopefully we will be on the courts Wednesday. After lunch I made 2 pendants and a pair of earrings that Joyce had ordered while Ken checked our accounts on the computer. Ken also did some work on our booster for the TV because we haven't had TV reception since arriving here and the CG does not offer cable. We have had trouble with this booster off and on - works sometimes and then nothing! He took it apart but found nothing wrong. Norman did give us an inside antenna to try and we are able to get about 5 or more stations. I think we will try to get someone to check out the booster when we return after Christmas!
We had salads for dinner and then Ken left for Celebrate Recovery at Edgewater Church. I spent the evening putting new photos in our frames in Wilbur and then working on this blog. I am also getting calendars together as Christmas gifts for friends and family! I was able to watch The Voice using the antenna from Norman. I hadn't seen it for the last two weeks so I was excited.
We had a great phone conversation today with Lanie and Jamie. Lanie was visiting Jamie so we could talk to both of them via speaker phone. They are doing well and it was so great to talk to them. Another great day to celebrate life!
