It's Sunday Again

It's been a very long, quiet (read boring) day today.  Expected rain has not materialized (it's now 4pm), but it has been too cool and blustery to be outside.  We did get one lap around the upper RV  park with Maggs this morning, but it was no fun because of the weather.    Rog's been listening to his audio book and I've been knitting and playing "Words With Friends"  this afternoon.  Of course, being inside with not a lot to do makes us snack!  Oh, well.  

The fence at home is finished and looks good in the photos that the contractor sent.  We've received our check from the insurance company.  So, that little hiccup in our life is taken care of.  Yay!

This week has been busy doing normal everyday things and nothing very exciting.  We did spend one day doing a deep clean on the inside of the RV and doing the laundry.  That was a lot of fun - NOT. Household chores are tiring!   One afternoon was grocery shopping at the Marine base commissary. One afternoon was ice cream at the DQ.   I spent two afternoons with the woman who sold us the couch looking up ancestors that might be registered in the DAR data base.  There are a couple of possibilites on my side, but it would be so much work to prove.  On Roger's side we did find a "patriot" and now all I've got to do is prove 7 generations!   I'll probably do the work at some point as both our daughter, Pam, and her cousin Jenn might be interested, as well as granddaughters Stephanie and Kinsey (when she grows up).  Roger's sister would be a candidate for admission, as well.  It will be long hours and some $$ spent getting copies of records.  It might be worth it to someone, some day, who knows.  

Right now all family members seem to be either healthy or recovering well from surgeries, infections, and/or the flu, so that is good news.  It's about time.  Seems like it's been forever since everyone was well.  Our Sweetie in Reno will start her radiation this coming week, I believe, so in five weeks she should be well on her way to being cancer free.   Roger's sister and husband have escaped the arctic chill of Michigan and are having fun in Orlando for a few weeks.  

Sad news in the park again this year.  One of our neighbors awoke to find her husband had died in his sleep.  Last year a woman lost her husband to a heart attack.  We don't really know these people, but see them every day to say hello and stop and pass the time of day with when we are out walking Maggie.  I guess when the average age of the residents is over 60 that something like this is not an unexpected happenstance.  It sure makes  you think, though, and sort of plan for such contingencies even though It's not something you want to think about.  

We decided today we will leave here on Sunday, March 28th for home.  We like getting through the metropolitan areas on the weekends rather than the weekdays, so will cut our time here short by a couple of days.  We should be home in Sparks no later than April 1st.   

I see rain drops on the window.   Looks as if the forecast was about 24 hours off, as it is now saying it will rain all night and tomorrow.
