Awakefulness

I didn't realize I hadn't posted in a week. What a nice time to find out: 3:30 AM Tuesday. I went to bed waaaayy too early and woke up at 1 AM. Bad timing. Tom and Angelo are out like lights. The heater is running and I'm wrapped in a freshly-washed blanket. Today was laundry day, $1.25 to wash; $1.00 to dry. We did 8 loads plus Tom took all the throw rugs to the other laundry with the extractor for $3.00. It smells lots better in this confined space.

Scott showed up last week and then we dashed off to San Diego, therefore, we piled up the laundry. When we were down to our last pair of ----socks, we just had to "Get 'er done!"

Sunday we went to a play called "Don't Dress for Dinner". It was really funny; a lot of great lines and total confusion. Then went to dinner with John and Martha from Shangri La RV Park (don't believe it) and Joe and Karen.

Tonight's happy hour was at Marilyn's next door. Her son Steve showed up a few days ago to drive her home to Port Ludlow. Steve lives in Tacoma and is a bull on the railroad. Lots of thievery between Needles and Barstow. Portable saws are used to cut into boxcars from the top
and when the train stops, the thieves call the escape truck to haul away all the electronics they can find. I didn't know train robbery was still in vogue!

Tom and I talked with Madison, Megan and Chelsea tonight, followed by a quick chat with Chloe and MJ. Chloe leaves for Georgia tomorrow. Her flight stops in Phoenix but we won't get to see her. Good friends and friend Steph get to enjoy her company! Have fun Chloe!!

Angelo is alive and well. He wasn't feeling too well when Scott visited but perked up when we hit cool San Diego and we started feeding him bottled water.

Tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th, we might run down to old town Yuma and check out some stores filled with treasures made by local artists. Also, there are a couple cool antique stores to wander thru. Ciao! And Bona Note!
