Frosty Morning

If we had pumpkins there would have been frost on them this morning!  It got below freezing here last night, which I don't think happens often. The furnace was working overtime during the night. It was a bit nippy taking Maggie out for her early morning pee - lucky Roger!  The sun came out and warmed us up and we don't expect any more freezing temps, but we do expect some low 40s during the next week and some high winds tomorrow.  

Rog sold the Tailgater!  First person who called yesterday came by today and said he'd be back with the cash tomorrow. Another couple stopped by but we had to tell them we were holding it for someone else.  We pulled our ad from the laundry room right away so we wouldn't be getting more calls or people stopping, although it's nice meeting people here and learning why they are here and where they are from. 

The couple that stopped by today live only 300 miles away - north of LA - and come here for the holidays and for time in the summer as they have a grandson in the area.  The guy that bought the equipment has been full-timing it for a year and lives here in the park (according to the rules that after 6 months you have to leave for two weeks and then can come back).  His wife still works and they have two grandkids with them. Everyone has an interesting story.  

I got some reading in this afternoon sitting in the chair with my back to the sun so that I was all nice and toasty.  Then I came in and started writing my Christmas emails. I got two done. Roger sat in the sun listening to his book, so it was quite an enjoyable afternoon.  

We need to go make groceries, so we went out for dinner tonight as we didn't want leftovers again.  We did find a little Thai place in a strip mall and got brave enough to try it.  It was lovely.  Small, decorated for Christmas, great service and good food.  It reminded us of the place we go at home.  We will go back, for sure.   Such a nice change from our last eating out adventure.

Tomorrow's events will be a trip to the base commissary and a haircut for me later in the afternoon.  I gave Roger his monthly haircut this morning.  Even I can do his hairstyle!

It's been a month today that we moved into the RV.  Seems just like yesterday - only longer :-)    It's hard to believe we've been here two weeks already.  Time flies.....    


This is one of Maggie's ways of telling me she wants to turn around and not go where I am headed.  I get "the look."
