We’ve each
put in our twelve hours this week. The
crowds at the grill are starting to increase, the snowbirds that wait until
after the holidays have arrived. I heard
that there are 5000 people in this resort now, which is probably about right since
there are somewhere over 2000 sites – enough for a small town. Since the bar and grill where we work is the
only one in this little “town”, it is pretty busy. Greg is going to start working in the kitchen
putting together sandwiches and salads when we are really busy. The pedometer this week was registering
nearly 3 miles a day J. This job has given
me a whole new appreciation for wait staff.
Today is a
day off and I still walked right at 2 miles.
I’ve been trying to make contact with the ceramic class instructor so I
made another try today, that’s a walk to the other side of the resort – no luck
again. From there I headed to the fabric
store which is a couple of blocks outside of the resort. I needed to get material for a beginning
quilting class project – I’m excited to see how this goes. I’ll post pictures of the project as it
progresses.
This week
has been in the 70s and low 80s until today when it was only in the 60s. But, since we keep a watch on what is
happening with the kids in Kansas, Indiana and Washington, DC, I’m certainly
not going to complain – stay safe and warm guys. We’ve been told by the locals that winter is
over here, we’ve had our three weeks of cool weather.
Today was a
treat for me, I haven’t been anywhere that I couldn’t walk since December
19. Greg has been out for his
chiropractor appointments but until this week it has been too cold for me to
want to ride along. We stopped for lunch
at Piggly’s Smokehouse BBQ Grill. We had
the lean brisket sandwiches with onion rings.
I wish I had remembered to take the camera, what a great lunch!!
After lunch
we went to see the movie “Unbroken”. It
is based on a true story and was a well-made film so I was glad we went to see
it. However, it is a story that makes
your heart heavy. I was surprised we
were able to use the AMC movie passes I got several years ago and got in free. They were given as an incentive to give blood
one of the times I was at the Indiana Blood Center in Columbus, IN.
Then it was
back to the real world, we had to make a stop at Wal-Mart for paper and other
non-food items for the month. We did
check out the aisles for a few food items we haven’t been able to find in this
area.
·
Drakes
seasoning (breading mix we use for breaded tenderloins). We really don’t need breaded tenderloins so
this is probably a good thing.
·
Red
Gold Salsa (mild). We stocked up on this
before we left Indiana but we are down to our last jar. I’ll be making salsa until we get back to
Indiana.
·
Kraft
Light Three Cheese Dressing. There are
all kinds of other Kraft dressings, just not the one we prefer.
·
Panda
Express Orange Sauce. Once again
probably a good thing, but it is so good.
