Sharp's Travels

Today was a repeat of yesterday, hot, humid and rain in the evening. When we walked we could see several more people have left to go north. I ordered a cell phone repeater today. It has an external antenna that goes on top of the 5th wheel and then a cable that comes inside to the repeater and then out of the repeater to an antenna inside the 5th wheel. It is supposed to extend the range of the cell phone up to 20 miles. I will let you know how it works when I get installed. Cheri made muffins and a cherry pie this afternoon. I went down and visited with Bud Avery. He wants to get some motorcycle goggles like the ones I have. I had him try on mine to see if they would fit him and told him where he could buy them. Dean and Betty came over to play dominos this evening. Dean and I won the first game by a narrow margin. I think Cheri and Betty got mad because they stomped us the next game.

By 8:00 am it was already 70 degrees and headed for a high of 90 degrees and very humid. We didn’t want to be outside working in this (so we didn’t). Cheri did a couple of loads of laundry and we finish getting our taxes ready to send out along with paper work for Grandpa and Grandma. Later this afternoon Grandma and we went to see Grandpa. He had a good day. When we got home Cheri and I helped our neighbor (Bonnie) get her van pack up and ready to leave in the morning. After they are gone I will close up their trailer for the summer. Around 6:00 pm another rain storm went through, lasted about 2 hours.

We were slow getting around this morning. By the time we got our walk done, showered and dressed it was 10:30 am, it seem nice to lounge around. Cheri worked on more paper work and I worked on installing the new water hose to the 5th wheel. It turned out to be a major job, the sun was so hot I ended up soak and wet with sweat and had to change clothes when I got done. We made a trip to the post office to pick up our taxes. Then to the doctor’s office to pick up a prescription for Grandma and it wasn’t ready. Then to Lowe’s to get paint brush and roller so I can recoat the slide out roofs on the 5th wheel. We stopped at Wal-Mart to pickup medicine for Grandma and it wasn’t ready. Stopped at K-Mart and bought a couple of new lawn chairs. We had another rain storm go through this evening, not as bad as last night. Grandpa didn’t have a very good day.

Cheri and I went sky diving today. APRIL FLOOLS!!!!! No it didn’t happen. Cheri spent the day helping Grandma with paper work, medications, and trips to doctor’s offices and groceries. I on the other hand had some fun. I needed to make a trip to Camping World to make a return. So I took the motorcycle and stopped to see if Bud Avery wanted to go and he said he was about to go for a ride. So after we were done at Camping World we rode over to Plant City for strawberry short cake. We got home about 2:30 pm and had a very nice ride. Then Grandma, Cheri and I went to see Grandpa. He had another day that wasn’t very good. He wasn’t able to stand and doing any walking. It started raining around 7:00 pm and it was so hard that we couldn’t hear the TV, but was over by 10:00 pm.

Cheri and I didn’t get up very early this morning, seem nice to sleep in. Cheri did laundry and cleaned plus paid bills and paper work. I spent the day outside working on 5th wheel, greasing springs and wheels, caulking, chained and locked the spare tire, repaired the front basement door. I also did a couple of odd jobs at Grandpa and Grandmas. We started our evening walk at 5:00 pm and didn’t get home until 8:00 pm. We made several stops along the way talking. A lot of people wanted to know how Grandpa was doing. He did better today.
