Rain, rain go away

So yesterday was a nice warm day.  We spent part of the day looking at the stuff from the various vendors and then looking at the demo RVs.  The one thing that we both decided is that we have the perfect rv for us.  There were so many that were so expensive and had no kitchen counter space, or no second bed.  They did have two bathrooms and a washer and dryer.  So, we are happier with Betsy than before, if that is possible.  Bob was tired from all that walking around, and decided not to make dinner.  So we went out for Mexican food again.  Once again it was very good. 

I went to the entertainment here last night.  Bob did not feel like it.  I went alone, but met a woman in the parking lot as I walked over and we sat together.  (It is amazing how that happens here.  Everyone is so trusting.)  The band (the Buckinghams) was from the sixties and was a group that I never heard of.  The singer kept talking about their great hits from the sixties, but I don't remember any of them - I must have been too stoned.  But once I stopped worrying about that fact and I just enjoyed.  It was a nice evening.

At about 11pm last night it started with the thunder storms.  HUGE.  It poured and the lightning and thunder were loud and close.  When I got out of bed this morning the parking lot that we were in was a huge puddle over the gravel.  But at least it was gravel.  Most of the rigs here are on grass.  As you can imagine it was really muddy.  The disabled carts were getting mired in the mud.  The rigs were getting mired in the mud.  Many people are leaving.  Others are moving to various concrete parking lots.  We are lucky because we are on gravel and, although it is wet, we are fine.  It is still raining and the weather reports are for rain all day tomorrow.  Hmmm.

I went to a couple of interesting seminars today.  One was on a 7 1/2 week caravan offered by this group to go to Australia and New Zealand.  It is spendy, but they provide air fare, rent motor homes, provide very thorough insurance coverage, and take you to all of the very interesting places that I would want to see.  We are considering it for 2015. 

I broke down and bought a really nice leather purse that is exactly what I have been looking for.  It has a strap that can go across the body, two nice pouches on the outside, and is big enough for all the junk I carry.  A little spendy, but you do get what you pay for. 

Bob is finally starting to feel much better.  He is still getting out of breath easily, but he is recovering fast and in between is feeling better.  He and I both think that he had some sort of infection.  But, as I said, he is better.  He is using the handicap carts, so he is not walking much, and I think that is helping.  but I think it is getting easier fro him to admit that he needs to use the handicap carts.  We are starting to look forward to the rest of the trip.  If it keeps raining here, we may even leave early.
