Dancing

I'm not one to let a little discomfort get in the way of square dancing, but when I woke up this morning suffering from some vertigo again, I did wonder whether I'd be able to dance with Jean and Joe Saltel's dance today. The vertigo was definitely better than yesterday, and I thought that I'd improve with time spent upright, and that's exactly what happened. Ken drove to the dance, but by the end I felt up to driving home.

We stopped at the store on our way home for food and decided to look at water filter options. We bought a PUR unit for the kitchen faucet, which will be much more convenient than having a pitcher on the counter. However, we had bought a supply of filter cartridges for the pitcher, so we'll use those first before starting to use the PUR.

When we visited Yosemite last April, we stayed at an Escapees COOP park called Park of the Sierras. We were so taken by the beauty of the area and of the park that we put down a deposit to get on the waiting list to buy in, thinking that it would be a couple of years before our name came up. However we got a message a few days ago that we are #16 on the list. We had been talking recently about the logistics of owning property near Yosemite and the unlikelihood that we would spend enough time there to make it advantageous to be owners rather than renters when we visit the area. We've decided to withdraw our name and request a refund of our deposit. Someday we might find ourselves wanting to own something, but for now we are enjoying being footloose and fancy free.

The produce guy was in the park this afternoon as usual, and I stocked up on veggies and a delicious cored pineapple.
