Lunch at Panera Bread was excellent. Healthy and fresh and inexpensive. At home lunch at Panera would have cost a whole lot more than it does down here.
Then off to get pedicures and I got my nails done at a little shop called Best Nails & Spa at 7170 Cypress Gardens Blvd. They also did a good job and we pranced from there over to Walmart next door where Judy got a hair cut and we did some shopping. It was a great afternoon.
When we got home John headed out with their RV for an oil change at Lake Wales which is about 15 miles from here. His 10 minute oil change turned into a 24 hour oil change. At 11 pm Judy and I drove over the Lake Wales to rescue him. A tow truck had to be called to pull the rv out of the bay so they could close up. We watched as the operation took place. When they finally got it pulled out they just coasted it into the parking lot for the night. They had screwed up something and were not able to start the rv and they had killed the batteries trying.
John and Judy spent the night with us and headed back to Lake Wales early the next morning. It ended up they had to get AAA to tow the rv to Barstow where someone who knew what they were doing got it going for them. They arrived back at Rainbow at about 6 pm last night. It must have been a pretty stressful time for them when you understand that they are full timers. That rv holds pretty much everything they have in the world. Sure glad they have the problem resolved and they are back home again.
Last night we headed over to the club house to watch a performance put on by The Van Dels.
They put on a really good show for those that are familiar with the 50's and 60's music, which is most of the people in this park. I did recognize many of the songs but they were not anything that I would be singing along to. The one in the middle, Glenn Bowles is also an Elvis impersonator. He did an Elvis segment in the show which was really good. That, for me, was the best part of the whole show. However, if you are into that genre of music and get a chance to see these guys you should go. The tickets were only $10 each so how can you beat that for a couple hours of entertainment.
I tried out Facetime on my new ipad yesterday. Had a great chat with Taylor at work. She is sitting emergency service for a crew that is building a bridge out in the middle of no where. She gave me a tour of the snow drifts around where they are working. Man they have a lot of snow!! She has to leave home at 6 am to get to the job site and can't leave until they are done for the day, which she said is normally about 5 pm. Then she has nearly a 2 hour drive home. Luckily she can drive the company medical truck back and forth to work. Love my new ipad!! Love that I can see my beautiful granddaughter in real time from so very far away.
Today is laundry day. I am hoping the rain is over and the sun will shine. We have not seen the sun for a few days now. Until next time - safe travels.
Didn't get this posted last night. We got delayed by an invite to John & Judy's for dinner and to watch a movie. It was "Fast & Furious #6" The star, Paul Walker, was killed in a car accident on Nov 30, 2013. Ironic that in these movies he drives and crashes fast cars over and over again. In real life he dies as a passenger in a Porsche driven by a friend. Very unfortunate. Is is survived by a 15 year old daughter.
