Life is good, really good for both of us. Last night, we decided a wee bit too late, that we were going to start watching the Harry Potter collection of DVD’s that we had been given. Just the first one mind you so how long could that be. When it was over we both looked at the clock and sort of chuckled, it was 12:45 am! But we both also said to each other so what we don’t have to be anywhere tomorrow. So we tumbled into bed and it wasn’t until well after 8 am that we both began to stir this morning. Ah, it’s nice knowing there is no reason indeed not to rush out of bed.
We slowly made our way out of bed, actually I offered Barbara a bribe, if you will, she could skip making breakfast and we would go to McDonald’s. Yup, even out here there is a McDonald,s. It is probably the smallest one we have ever been in.
Just one register and a small area with a number of tables. Yet, breakfast is the same here as at all of them regardless of the size.
From there we had heard that there was an actual Dollar General Market about a mile away. So off we went to see what it would be like since we needed a few odds and ends.
And there it was and it, for a fact, had a little bit of everything, meat, produce, and so on and so forth. First time either of us had ever stumbled on to one of these. Kind of neat.
Post office was next to mail an overdue birthday card and then we were headed home.
Once home, I began to work on completing my monthly maintenance list, finishing those things that I did not get to yesterday: clean the bugs off the windshield and front cap, check and adjust the air pressure in all the tires, check behind the fridge for any signs of residue that would signal a possible problem, take a quick glance at the roof to make sure all was in order, and lube the slide rollers. Tomorrow I’ll finish the list by taking care of the tires and all the slide seals by treating them with 303.
Barbara, in the meantime, was busy making lunch, cleaning the kitchen and bringing our financial records up to date. The last is an ongoing process that seems to take up all kinds of time. She assures me, though, that it will get easier as time goes by.
Later in the afternoon we both went for showers. The shower house here is really nice, absolutely spotless, modern, and with plenty of hot water. Can’t ask for more than that.
Bottom line, Life is good, really good for both of us right now. We’re not that far of course into this whole full-time gig but we are enjoying it to the fullest. We’re making the most of the days we are given, each minute is so precious to us. We are also enjoying the places we go, this COE park is just down right beautiful. Every night I’ve been sitting in the solarium and marveling at the beautiful sunset right outside the window.
We’ve come now to the end of another day. Harry Potter is about to go into the DVD and we’ll sit back and enjoy. We had another wonderful day. A day spent together which makes everything so much more special. How about you? We hope you had an absolutely wonderful day as well. Remember to take them as they come and make the most of each. Now for a closing thought:
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and some shut-eye. Till tomorrow. Thanks again for sharing our day with us.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
"On The Road of Retirement" 
Huh, interesting. Never heard of a Dollar Store Market. Graybeard is being taken care of and hopefully will last many years while Barbara watches the $$$$. Good team work. Love the closing by Helen Keller. Have a great Sunday.
