When I first opened my eyes this morning I thought about what we had planned to do today and not to much came to mind. Then I rolled over face up and wondered why is my face so cold. That woke me right up. My next thought was something happen to our Electric Fireplace so I dawned my Housecoat and went downstairs to check.

As soon as I got in front of the Fireplace there was some warmth to be felt. After getting things ready for breakfast I turned on my Computer and found out why it was so cold. The outside temperature was 27 F (-3 C) feeling like 19 F (-7 C) with north east winds. Then my eyes caught sight of the temperature back in Essex, 37 F (3 C). That stupid breeze from home was bringing the cold air right to us making it warmer up there.

When Kathy got up she didn’t want to believe that it was warmer in Essex but this is the Third Year that we’ve seen this happening. There was only one thing to do, after we finished our morning Coffee/Tea we dressed warmly and headed out the door.

With this being Monday we would finally be able to get some answers so we were headed to Vision Ford to find out the status of our Truck. Darla the Service Manager was in and told us that after Richard, the Mechanic, had ordered what parts he needed to fix our Truck he had to finish off other jobs that he had previously been working on. If everything goes smoothly he could be done by Wednesday, but if not later on Thursday before we get our Truck back. Not what we wanted to hear.

Our next stop was Enterprise Car Rental where we explained that we needed their truck beyond today.

After a week, lots of our food stocks had gone down so we went around the corner to the Walmart Supper Center. With no real hurry we took our time walking up and down all the food aisles. When we left we had not only restocked our Pantry but our Freezer as well.

Knowing it would take some time to get that all put away we stopped at Wendy’s for lunch. We have our favourites that we like to eat there but when they advertise something new for a “limited time only” I suggest we try them so we don’t tire of our usual meals. Today we tried their Loaded Fries along with a small Soft Drink. They tasted good but since we’ve been avoiding Fries lately it will take another special offer before we have them again.

It took nearly an Hour before we had all our groceries all put away once we got Home. I also informed the Park that we’ll be here longer then planned.

Also mentioned the other day someone at the Bank didn’t transfer the amount of money we requested to cover our repair bill and if it got any higher we’d have a problem. When Kathy checked our account this afternoon the remaining money that we had asked for had been transferred.

We noticed the other day that our Escapees Membership had expired at the end of October but we never received our Notice. So I simply called their Office to take care of it. Instead of having it mailed to our Home address I had it sent to Dream-Catcher Park in Deming where we’ll stop overnight. If it doesn’t arrive on time they will simply forward it to Jojoba Hills Park in California where we plan on meeting other Escapee Members.

Even though it was 55 F (13 C) this afternoon it certainly didn’t feel like it so we spent the rest of the afternoon doing our morning reading on the Computers. Even though they tasted good those Fries we had filled us up so we decided to watch a movie instead of eating. We watched the comedy “Snatched” starring Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn who as a mother and daughter go on an exotic vacation only to be Snatched. It will keep you laughing.

Not sure what we’ll be doing for the next couple of days but we’ll find something. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
