The weather has been cool for this part of the country with the lows in the mid to upper 30's and highs in the upper 60's. Not bad considering we could be back in Indiana where it is much cooler and a bit miserable.
We have just been doing a few chores around the house, cut down a branch on one of the trees that is crowding the drive where we enter the RV parking area.
Eating seems to be one of our passions, at least two and generally 3 times a day. We are planning an outing to the Heart Attack Grille before long, as soon as our friend Clark is feeling better and lets us know when he can go. I am looking forward to a visit as well as the food.
We purchased a new Garmin GPS for Christmas. It is pretty neat in what it will do. Today, we needed to go to Staples to get some ink cartridges for the printer. I checked the
phone book and got the address of one that was fairly near, put it in the GPS and followed the directions, however, there was not a Staples at that address, Only a large Lowes. I remembered that there was one on Alma School Road, so we went there and drove around a bit, not finding it, so we stopped at a bank to get some directions. While Evelyn was in the bank, I just clicked on "points of interest" and typed in Staples and up came 8 or 10 addresses in the valley for various Staples. One was only around the corner from where we were. I did not know that that kind of information was available on the GPS. Just goes to show what I know about a GPS. Live and learn, I guess. It is pretty forgiving as it will re-calculate if you make a wrong turn or fail to turn when it tells you to turn. It certainly knows more about a strange town than you do, so just do as it says and all will be well.
Our photos are of the Orange tree in the back yard as seen out of our dining room window. Nothing like fresh oranges right off the tree for breakfast.
