First thing this morning I had to make a call to the insurance company as we got a letter in the mail Friday saying there was a problem with Cheri’s Medicare part D. We had both filled out the paper work and sent it in back in the first part of November. The letter said we had to do something by the 30th or Cheri wouldn’t have any drug coverage for this year. So I got all the paper work out and made the call. I know that these calls usually don’t go well. Well today things went better. After about 10 minutes on the phone with a very nice lady everything was taken care of and Cheri will have drug coverage starting Feb 1st. Today was motorcycle ride day. John, Bud and I took a short ride over to the Harley dealer in Port Richey. Then we stopped for lunch and headed home, I actually found a couple of roads that we hadn’t been on before. After a 95 mile ride we were back home by 2:30 pm. Cheri worked on income taxes today and was ready for a break when I got home. So we went up to visit with Paul and Bev, they both have been sick with bad colds and we hadn’t seen them for a couple days. Larry and Denise came up around 8:00 pm and we made plans to go to Lakeland tomorrow to the Snowbird Show. I will tell you more about the show tomorrow.

We picked up Grandma at 9:00 am and headed to church. After church seven of us from our Life Group went out for lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. As usual it was after 1:00 pm before we got home. Cheri went to work on her quilt and I headed over to Wal-Mart to pick up some oil and gas for the new generator. I wanted to get it started and try it out. Well it runs great and I plugged a couple things into it to see how it would manage under a load. It passed the test with flying colors. All Cheri has left to do on her quilt project is to bind it. She has struggled with this project and I think she will be glad when it is done. We got a call from Pam and Mike inviting us up to their place to play cards this evening. Pam told us tonight was her night to win at cards because she didn’t win any the last time we played. We played two games of Hand, Knee and Foot which we guys won. Then we played two games of SOB, Cheri and I each won a game. Poor Pam who has been sick the last week and we had no pity on her, maybe next time Pam. Thank you God for another wonderful day to spend with close friends.

This morning I worked on making some screen prints to help Grandma with getting into her e-mail as it is some different than she had before. I took them over to her and had her follow the screen prints a couple of time and I think that will help her. We planned on going to the Kumquat Festival in Dade City this afternoon with Paul and Bev. We got a call from Bev saying Paul was sick and went back to bed and they would be going today, knowing Paul he has to be really sick to miss a car show. So at 2:00 pm Cheri and I headed to Dade City to take in the Kumquat Festival. Cheri doing the vendor booths and I headed to car show area. I missed having Paul along to talk about all the cars. It didn’t take me very long to look at all the cars. So I checked out some of the vendor’s and was looking for Cheri. Well with 20,000 people coming and going I figured I would never see her, but after about 15 minutes I found her at a jewelry vendor (not a surprise). So I walked with her while she shopped and then we tried to find the quilt show. After asking several people and a lot of walking we found it. It turned out to be a disappointment as there were only a few quilts. We were done with the show and home by 4:30 pm. Cheri went back to work on her quilt and I watched some videos on how to install the remote starter kit on my new generator. At 5:30 pm we headed down town to the car show which I didn’t think would be that good because of the car show in Dade City at the Kumquat Festival. Boy was I wrong; there were a lot of cars. Some of them were cars that I saw in Dade City, but also a lot of cars that I hadn’t seen before. We were back home by 6:30 pm and settled in for the evening. I have uploaded a few pictures from the car shows. Click on this link https://picasaweb.google.com/sharpstravels than click on album: Car Show Jan 28 2012

It started raining around 4:00 am; the hard rain was pretty much over by 6:30 am and then rain showers off and on until 1:30 pm. Then it started to get cooler as a cold front was coming though so our highest temp was this morning, 67 degrees. At 10:00 am I headed over to Grandma’s and worked on her new computer. Around 2:00 pm I had everything done with some help from Darren as he did a remote into the computer to fix something I screwed up. Grandma and I set down and I showed her how to use it. She is having a hard time but with a little more training and some written instructions she will be ok. When I got home I see the generator I ordered sitting outside. I had forgotten that it was coming today. So I was like a little boy at Christmas time. I got it unboxed and looked it over and that was all the time I had with it. Cheri had called Pam and Mike to see how Pam was and if they wanted to go out for supper and some cards afterwards. Cheri did laundry and work on quilting her quilt. She is having a time with it but I think she has a handle on it now because it is looking really nice. We picked up Mike and Pam at 4:30 pm and headed to Dade City to eat at Kafi Kokopelli which offers some great food and unique atmosphere. Then we headed back to Mike and Pam’s to teach them how to play Hand, Knee and Foot. It is kind of funny because Mike and Pam were the ones that taught us how to play Hand and Foot. It was another wonderful day God made for us.

I left at 9:45 am and headed to Tampa to get my hearing aids. This is something new for me and was excited to see if they are going to help. They are the type with no volume control on them. Everything is programmed and set up by computer. They really make a difference in my hearing. I have to wear them for a month and then go back to have them adjusted if they need to be changed. I know I have had them for only a half a day but I think that they need to be turned down a little, the high frequencies hurt some. It was after 1:00 pm before I got home. Cheri was working on her quilt project and is still having problems with the quilting part. I guess she needs a quilting machine. We had a late lunch and then I went over to Grandma’s to work on the computer. I just got started when Cheri called and said Larry and Denise were here and want to go for a motorcycle ride down to Plant City for strawberry short cake. Let’s see do I work on the computer or go for strawberry short cake. I guess that was a no brainer, half hour later we were on our way to Plant City. It was the first time we have had strawberry short cake this season. I didn’t think that the strawberries were as good as the ones we had last year, maybe it is just the early berries. We took a longer route home and had a nice ride. This evening we went up to Paul and Bev’s to play dominos. We played two game and the girls won both games.
