I wanted to go for a motorcycle ride today, so I went down to see Bud and he wasn’t home. When I got back home I decided to do some work. I uncovered the motorcycle and did a general cleaning. Cheri was busy working on her quilt project, it is looking very nice. Our neighbors from Ontario, Lloyd and Lorraine just arrived so Cheri and I visited with them for a while. Just as we were sitting down for lunch Bud pulled up to see if I wanted to go for a motorcycle ride. I told Bud I had to help our neighbors put up their awnings before I could go. At 12:30 pm Bud and I headed down to pick up John as he just got here a few days ago and was ready for a ride also. We rode down to Lakeland to the Harley dealer and then a different route back home. It was only a 54 mile ride but still a great ride. Cheri took Grandma over to Wal-Mart to pick up her new glasses. While she was gone I got the phone call from our insurance broker and found out what we had to fill in on one of the pages of the health insurance application. So that project is done and ready to go in the mail tomorrow. We have a cold front coming through tonight, suppose to get down in the 40’s, not looking forward to that. This evening we went over to Grandma’s to play dominos with her and Dean & Betty. We played two games; Cheri won the first one and Dean the other one. We had cherry pie and ice cream afterwards.

I didn’t have very much ambition today, had to force myself for everything I did today. I was planning on washing the 5th wheel but that was easy to put off until another day. I decided to take the truck back to the tire store where I got new tires for it this spring. The tires are still out of balance and it is something I needed to get done before they say I waited too long. They said they could work on it this afternoon which was good. So I called Cheri to come and get me, after I hung up I discovered that I had the keys to the van in my pocket. So I call Cheri back and she said she couldn’t find the keys so she was on her way over to Grandmas to get the van and use Grandmas keys. While I was waiting I told them if they needed to keep the truck over night that it was ok because we wouldn’t be using it for a few days. After lunch I did a few odd jobs around the 5th wheel. Cheri is working on a new quilt project; I thought that she was still working on the iron carrying case. I guess she put that away because she needed some different kind of thread for it. I was hoping someone would give me a call to go for a motorcycle ride today, but didn’t hear anything from anyone so I asked Cheri if she wanted to go for a ride. She said sure if we could go to Jo-Ann Fabrics to pick up a few things. Hey we both got what we wanted. After we got done with Jo-Ann Fabrics we rode over to Applebee’s for dinner. We had a gift certificate that we needed to use. The food was great as usual. Just before we left Applebee’s I got a call from the tire store and they are going to keep the truck over night. They are still not sure what the problem is. It was near 5:00 pm by the time we got home. We decided to take an evening walk which we needed to walk off our dinner.

We had a good walk and work out at the gym, finally getting into a daily routine. After breakfast, coffee and getting cleaned up and dressed, I was excited about setting up the I-pad 2. Well I had all kinds of trouble try to get it to turn on and stay on. I am not sure what I did different but finally got it to stay on. There were several steps I had to go through to get it set up. After a while I decided I needed a break. Cheri had to go to Wal-Mart to get some black thread as she ran out while sewing on her latest project. I used my break to go and see if Bud wanted to go for a motorcycle ride. He was in the middle of redoing their bedroom so no motorcycle ride with him. Then I went to see John and he was out golfing. Long story short, I didn’t go for a ride. Cheri had her quilting get together at the Rec Hall this afternoon. I went back to work on the I-Pad 2 trying to learn more on how to use it. With the book we bought and some searching on the internet I feel like I am as far as a fourth grader would be, still not smarter than a fifth grader. When Cheri got home we started filling out the paper work for our health insurance. We were almost done when we came to a page we aren’t sure what to do so I made call to the guy that has been helping us, had to leave a message on his voice mail. He never got back to us today, maybe tomorrow. We had our Life Group meeting this evening, it was another great meeting. It is so much fun getting together with Christian folks, talking and learning more about God. When we got home we watched Dancing with the Stars and they finally got it right.

We had a good day; Cheri finished her tote bag and has started another project, something to keep her iron in when she goes to a quilt class. I worked outside and got the lawn sprayed, tire monitors removed, 5th wheel rams greased, water filter changed, rain gauge up, and black water tank dumped. I checked on line to find where there was an Apple Store. There was one in Brandon so we headed out at 11:00 am for the Brandon Mall. We spent about two hours in the Apple Store with two different people learning all about the I-Pad 2. Then we headed for the food court in the mall for a late lunch and early dinner. Then we went to Best Buy in Brandon to buy the I-Pad 2. The reason we bought it there was we got their two year warranty and we also have a rewards card, so it was a win - win situation for us. It was near 3:30 pm when we got home and then it was time to get ready for our 4:30 pm phone meeting on our health insurance. That meeting lasted an hour and a half. All that is left for us to do is fill out the applications for the insurance and mail them in. The rest of the evening was spent watching TV, Cheri’s night as it is Monday and that means Dancing with the Stars.

Grandma went to church with us this morning and after church we came back to Zephyrhills to have lunch with Ron and Sandy at Sunrise Eatery. It is the new restaurant that we went to last Tuesday night that I couldn’t remember the name of. This afternoon Cheri and I went to Lakeland to do some shopping. Cheri wanted to stop at Jo-Ann Fabrics to pick up a few things for her projects. Then we went to Best Buy to look at I-pads. We have been looking at them for a while now and had some questions. One of the sales people came over and asked us if he could help us and so I asked him a couple of questions and he couldn’t answer them. We asked if there was anyone else that could help us and he told us that he was the only one that knew about them. So we left the store very frustrated. It was raining when we came out of the store and I said to Cheri that I was ready to go home. We did stop at Wal-Mart because Cheri’s iron stopped working and she needed to get a new one. We also picked up a few groceries while we were there. When we got home Cheri went to work on her tote bag and I settled in to watch the NASCAR Race. We weren’t able to get the Green Bay Packer game today so I kept an eye on the computer checking the score every few minutes. I am happy to report that they won. Cheri and I didn’t have any dinner this evening as we had a big lunch at noon. So we had a snack of some extra sharp cedar cheese.
