June 4 - Yeah, We Made It Through The Week

Ah, our last workday of the week.  I was at the VC all day again.  We helped price new inventory for the bookstore and met some nice folks to day.  A couple whose daughter lived in Ocoee for a few years and a couple from Arizona.  Gives you something to talk about for sure.  Bill is getting good with his fort info and continues to read and talk to the seasonal rangers about things.  Now if he can really master the 3 video machines.  One he does fine and two he’s close on.  Luckily the mean ranger was in the entrance station all day and we only had the seasonals, who are all very nice.

MG and Chuck stopped by on their way to ride with the pilot boat. We will do that once I get my motion sickness pills. We were ready to rock and roll when 5:30 rolled around. We got home and walked Xena and changed clothes to head out to dinner with Chuck and MJ. We went to Tubby’s, which was not all it was cracked up to be. There was about a 30 minute wait, which was OK. Once we ordered it took forever for the food to come. MJ and I ordered the shrimp and grits and when it came it looked like grit soup with shrimp. It was a milky sauce but nothing like we expected. They served 2 slices of French bread, I guess to sop of the juice. It was good, but Tortuga’s was SOOO much better. When she came to ask about dessert I told MJ they should give us desserts because it took so long. The waitress came to us 3 times to apologize for the wait, so that told me it was not expected to take so long. I was not having dessert but knew Bill would like some and MJ wanted some so she said that sounded appropriate and asked the waitress. She said she’d ask the manager, who came out and said he heard we want to speak to him, so MJ told him we expected complimentary dessert. He said there was always a 30 minutes wait for dinner and we said it was way longer than 30 minutes and he said well it was only 30 minutes but would give us 2 desserts. I had a bite of Bill’s praline cheesecake and it was good. We didn’t leave the restaurant til after 9 and we left the RV at 6:30 so we know it took a long time.

We dropped Chuck and MJ off next door and came home to let Xena out and watch some TV.
