Not much to write about today. I went right to work on the 5th wheel this morning. I wiped down the slide out roofs so they could dry off from all the dew we had last night. Then I started removing old chalking My plan is to replace all the chalking as there are some places where it is coming off. This afternoon I was able to get the roof coating done, sure glad to have that project done. I did have to take a break and drink some water as I was sweating so much and was starting to get over heated. The high temp for the day was in the high 80”s. It was near 3:00 pm when I finished and decided I had enough for the day. Cheri worked all day on the illustrations for Nikki’s story book that she has written. She is having a hard time with it, but I think she is doing a very nice job of it. We had our Life Group gathering this evening and it was the best one so far. We look forward to each week to spend time with our Life Group friends and learning about the Bible.

I went back to work on the 5th wheel slide outs this morning and Cheri continued to work on Grandma’s health insurance. We stopped and went down to Larry and Denise’s about 10:30 am to help them close up and get the motorcycle onto the pickup. We sure hate to see them leave but they will be in Clermont for two weeks which is about 50 miles away before they made the trip back to Ontario. They are coming over Saturday so Denise can take pictures of our church Bunny Egg-stravaganza. After Larry and Denise left Cheri went over to Grandma’s to get some more paper work and I went back to work on the 5th wheel. After lunch Cheri took Grandma grocery shopping and for medicine. I continued working on the slide outs. I finally got all them chalked and ready for the roof coating. I was going to do the coating today but it was getting late and I was too tired to continue. So I went down to Bud and Joyce’s to see them and tell them good bye as they are leaving Thursday morning bright and early for upstate New York. Sure going to miss all my motorcycle riding buddies. When I got back home Cheri was also home and said I needed to go and fill up the van with gas as the low fuel light was on. After supper we settled in to watch TV. We both fell asleep and finally called it a night about 9:30 pm. Cheri didn’t even stay awake to watch the Dancing with the Stars result show. Good thing we recorded it. I know that she will want to watch it first thing in the morning.

We had a busy day. Cheri work most of the day doing laundry, working on Grandma’s health insurance, and taking her for her doctor’s appointment. After she got home she worked some more on Grandma’s paper work until 3:00 pm. I worked on getting the slide out roofs cleaned up and getting them ready for a coat of sealer. That project took me until 1:30 pm. Then I needed to look up a few things on the computer so Cheri could fill out the paper work for Grandma. We didn’t take time for lunch because we were getting together with Larry and Denise for a late lunch and early supper. We picked them up at 3:00 pm with the van as Larry has the motorcycle loaded and ready to leave tomorrow. We drove over to a place that sells storage sheds. I wanted to see how much it would cost for a new one. A few years ago I bought a new one for Grandma and it was $1200 for an eight by ten. Well today the same shed is just over $2000. I guess our old shed looks a lot better than I thought it did. From there we went to Golden Corral for supper. After supper we went back to Larry and Denise’s and played two games of cards and the girls won both games. I think that is the first time that has happened, boy are they happy and have bragging rights. It was around 8:30 pm when we got home and we settled in to watch Cheri’s favorite TV show (Dancing with the Stars).

I don’t know where the time has gone, seems like it was the 1st of March a couple of days ago. They say time flies by when you are having fun and that we have been doing. We picked up Grandma and took her to church with us and then after church there were eight of us that went out for lunch at Chili’s. After we got home we changed clothes and went down to see Larry and Denise as Denise had a bad headache this morning and didn’t go to church with us. On the way down we stopped by Bud and Verlin Randolph. They have bought a park model in the park and will be putting their motor home in storage. We have been looking to move to a different lot. We have been on the same lot for seven years and really like it here but last year our neighbors put in a concrete drive way that is elevated about a foot and a half on our side and made it very hard to get into our lot last fall. This winter they built a car port over the driveway and now the only way I am going to get out is to pull out the street sign and drive across the lawn of the neighbor across the street. So we have decided to take the lot that Bud and Verlin are on. So we talked to them and I took some measurements to see how our 5th wheel will fit on the lot. It is a much nicer and larger lot then we have now. They are moving their shed this week and I think I am going to buy a new shed to put on the lot and move everything from ours before we leave for the summer. Our shed is really small and it is a good time to make the change. I think I can also have a nice covered spot for the motorcycle, which would be very nice because it now sits under the awning and doesn’t leave any room to sit outside. We went on over to Larry and Denise’s and Denise was feeling much better. We visited for a while and played one game of golf (cards). Cheri and I hadn’t played it before and was a fun game to play. We left after the one game because I am still not feeling that great and my stomach was acting up. When we got home I took it easy and watched the NASCAR race, I didn’t like the way it ended.

Wow, everyone around us has left for the season except for the neighbor across the street. I believe people have left earlier this year, probably because of the nice weather they have been having up north. Cheri, Denise, and Betty left at 9:00 am to go the quilt shop in Dade City for their 30% off on everything in the store. I did a little work around the 5th wheel and got the motorcycle ready to go for a ride to Sleepy Hollow about 50 miles north of here. We have been there a couple of times this winter. It is just a neat place to go and they have a great steak fry that they do on a grill outside. The girls got back from their shopping spree around 10:30 am and at 10:45 am we were on our way to Sleepy Hollow. We had four bikes in our group today. Our first stop was for all of us to fill up with gas and then we stopped at a motorcycle leather shop. We had been by it before and hadn’t stopped. It did look interesting so today we stopped and checked it out. They had just about anything you would want in the motorcycle clothing line. On the rest of the ride to Sleepy Hollow we had a few sprinkles, so we got our meal and eat right away in case it rained as there isn’t enough room inside for everyone if it rained. After we eat we looked around for a little bit and decided to head for home as it was looking more like rain. Well we got down the road a couple of miles and the sky opened up and it started to rain. It rained all the way home and we were soaking wet by the time we got home. Cheri was cold and took a hot shower to get warmed up. The rest of the afternoon we rested and watched some TV. We were supposed to go down to Larry and Denise’s to play cards this evening but I had bad headache and it made me sick to my stomach, so I called them to tell them we wouldn’t be down. A little later we got a call from Darren, it was good to hear from him as it has been a long time since we have talked. He and Jodi have been really busy at work putting in a lot of extra hours. Darren had bought a new camera and has been taking classes on how to use it to take great pictures, says he is enjoying it.
