Day off and Dinner out

May 31 - Bill had a bad night last night with cramps in his foot. I got up and make him an ice bag twice and that seemed to help. So I didn't get up until 8:45 and he was later. I made eggs and some salt cured country ham for breakfast. Yum! I put a load of clothes in and we got showered and ready to head out later in the day.

I had a note on our car this morning from our friends Linda and Fred who left early this morning. By the time we worked til after 6 and got home and ate we didn't get to go by and say our good byes. By that time Bill wasn't up to more crutching around!

Ray and Sue stopped by to see if we could change tonight's dinner to 6:30 at Italian with another couple that leave tomorrow. Bill called a couple of Podiatrists to get an appointment and got one for Tuesday so will see what he can suggest!

Eventually we left after lunch for Waynesboro.  I hoped to go to two used book stores but apparently they were out of business.  So then I worked on thrift stores and did get 3 books at one place that was quite unorganized and a huge mess.  Good place to find an antique or missing part!  We ended up at McDonald’s where I made some phone calls that I knew would put me on hold for a while and Bill watched a movie on his laptop.  I also worked on trying to get Directv on my 2-in-1 tablet/netbook but never did succeed. 

At 6:15 we drove across the street to Scotto’s to meet our fellow volunteers for dinner.  It was a very enjoyable evening as everyone had stories to share.  The couple next to us that is leaving told us they had a bear last night.  I heard their dog barking and that was not normal and I looked out a couple of times but didn’t see anything.  Apparently the bear was right behind their RV which I can clearly see from several windows.  So now I’ll be making a nightly watch!

The food there was very good. I had lobster ravioli with a shrimp sauce and Bill had chicken parmesan. Everyone’s meals looked delicious.  I think only Bill and one other had leftovers to bring home.  They all went to Cline’s for ice cream but we passed as I wanted to stop in at Martin’s, a grocery along the line of Publix and run into Wal-mart for an Ace bandage.  The store is huge and nicer than Publix and probably more expensive but they have everything.

 

We got home in time to watch Persons of Interest at 10.  That’s another one of our favorites that is going off the air!  Only 3 more episodes.  Soon I won’t have any thing left to watch!
