Work and Play

June 1 – When I got up at 7:30 it was 45 out.  By the time we left for work at 8:45 the sun was out and it had warmed up so I left in capris and Bill in shorts.  I worked with Pam, the owner, and Barb and Barb and I thoroughly cleaned the rec hall.  We even cleaned the 2 pool table tops.  The owners were very impressed.  We didn’t leave anything for Joe to do when he arrived at 2. 

Bill and Ron ran out of work at 1 so just scrounged up something to keep busy another hour.

It was a beautiful day out!  We walked our short walk home and Bill showered and we had lunch and left for a new town of shopping.  Eventually maybe we will have all the things we want for the RV.  I had a return for Target and Ron gave Bill directions.  It’s in Dayville.  There’s also a Michaels, Staples, Petco, Grocery, Bed Bath and Beyond in addition to several small shops and eateries.  We found a possible rug, and one more tray for the silverware drawer but still no dish rack.  We stopped at the grocery and the prices are just so high.  Fortunately I had signed up for their discount card and did get some savings on the produce and lunchmeat.  I am keeping track of what days the farmers markets are in what towns so we can go depending on our days off.

On the way back we stopped in Arlington at the oldest remaining building in CT.  It was built in 1751 as a meeting hall and is now a church.  It was locked so we couldn’t go in, but it’s just a very simple and plain building that looks like an old meeting place. 

Further up the road on the way back we stopped at “Frog Rock”.  It only looks like a frog from one side.  Whoever owns the rock has a small antique shop beside it and a food

trailer.  There were quite a few people there for as late as it was.

We got home at 6:30 and I got dinner started while putting things away and see if what we bought was the right “stuff”.  Oh well, more stuff to return.  I just keep it in the car so wherever we go next we are ready.  After dinner we took a walk to take the trash down and walked the entire park and then stopped by to say HI to Ron and Barb.  They live on the lower level.  We stood out and talked until the mosquitoes got so back we headed home.  I showered and Bill did dishes so we’re good to go for tomorrow.

Not enough wifi strength to read email or do any posting so guess I’ll have to bring it up again.  Ugh!
