Busy Day

Ken started out this morning volunteering at the CARE Center helping to set up a model railroad for the holidays. He spent most of his time putting track together. I went to the morning line dance session and had fun learning a few new easy dances. I was glad to find that I still remember the basic steps.

I guess you're never too old to play with trains...

This afternoon we went out to get groceries. We also stopped at the Red Barn Builders Supply. They offer Escapees a discount on propane, so we got our empty tank filled. We also got some treated lumber to use for leveling boards.

This evening we went to the Activities Center for dinner. The menu included meatloaf, mashed potatoes, veggies, salad, and pineapple upside down cake. We chatted with some of the people at our table. One couple, Johnny and Dot, are here for the RV Boot Camp that starts tomorrow, and then they are on their way to the Rio Grande Valley. They've been RVing for 20 years, so we're a bit skeptical that they'll learn much. We also talked with a widower who owns property here at Rainbow's End. He indicated that he plans to sell soon and buy a stick house in Pennsylvania, where he used to live.

Our neighbors moved out today. We noticed the guy was tying their bikes to the bumper in addition to having them on a platform rack similar to ours. I went over to talk to him and found out that they had had one bike come partially off the rack. He also said that it helped stabilize the rack (ours is very wobbly). He had had a welding shop weld some of the joints that had too much play in them.
