Thu - Jan 12/12

My goodness - another cloudy day.


Charlotte was off at 9 a.m. to the Sewing Room. She was anxious to try out her new sewing machine. Surprise - it starts at 9 a.m. She got there at 9 a.m. - and was almost the last one there. As they say down here - if your 15 minutes early you're a half hour late. She found the quilting extension on the new sewing machine really helps in handling the material.

I finally got the postal code issue straightened out with Good Sam so my application for the Petro/Flying J RV Plus card could be processed. A perennial problem for Canadians - our 6 digit postal code has trouble fitting into the America 5 digit postal code computer programming.

A side note: The 6 digit postal code is way more accurate. It will tell you not only the city - it will tell what block and what side of the street on that block in the city the address is located, that is,  unless it is a rural Post Office where the mail is picked up from P.O. Boxes.


A front row seat for garbage day. I was able to watch from inside the RV as the truck pick up the can with  its "grabber arm", dump it, then place it back at the curb.

I made Black Forest Ham sandwiches for lunch when Charlotte got back at noon. Then she was off again to the sewing room.


Charlotte was back earlier than I expected with here "Table Runner" project complete except for a few finishing touches. I was still working on loading our daily medicine containers for the next three weeks. That process is an hour long job (we take a lot of medicine).

Supper in the RV. I cooked the pork chops and made the scalloped potatoes while Charlotte put together a spinach salad from the veggies we picked up at the "Green Bee" market earlier in the week. Dessert was the last of the Carrot Cake that we picked up at Mesa Swap Meet.

After supper Charlotte used the sewing machine to put the finishing touches on her table runner.
TV tonight included "Person of Interest". This program won for Best New TV Show on the People's Choice Awards. It was one of the few award winners I recognized.
