Fri - 27 Jan/17
A little cooler today; but no rain. Maybe tomorrow?
It’s PSA Time! No - not prostrate test time! (grin) – “Public Service Announcement” time.
In an RV you always try to conserve space. For those that may not know: If you crush plastic water bottles when empty then put the cap back on they will stay collapsed and use less space in the garbage or recycling container.
Then it was time to head to the Quilt Show at the Savannah Center in The Villages.
The show is always packed. They even have Food Trucks in the parking lot for those “in need”.
The quilt work is exceptional.
There are special seminars given throughout the day. All kinds of fabric and quilting items are available at the booths.I returned and remained in the car (with the top off) and enjoyed the sunshine.
PSA #2:
The only excitement I had was
helping two ladies find their car. I told them to use their Key Remote to have
the car signal them. Just keep clicking while walking. If you “Double Click”
the Lock it should flash the lights and “Chirp” the horn. (Use the Panic Button
if you are desperate). Their car was two rows over.
Charlotte spent 2 hours exploring
and returned with some nice fabric. The show booklet has listings of area quilt
shops. I feel a road trip is in the future
After the show (about 2 p.m.) we had lunch at Cracker Barrel a few miles away on US-27/441.
After ordering Charlotte always “checks
out” the store displays. She found “PEZ” we thought Liz may not have in her
collection. I phoned her at work. She did. (We tried).
Charlotte enjoyed a Pork Chop w/Coleslaw
and Stewed Apples and I had the Hamburger Steak w/Steak Fries and Mac and
Cheese (as usual).
Next we went a few stoplights down US-27/441
to Walmart. A few items (Deodorant, etc.) from the pharmacy area and we were
out and headed back to OMS.
Charlotte went in to Family Dollar at the strip mall across from the park to pick up a few extra mugs for her coffee/tea needs. We left most of our coffee mugs at home after taking them there to wash after the family Thanksgiving at “The Lot” (Nick’s RV Storage Lot) near home. We just forgot to return them to the RV.
We just had to cross the road and we
were at OMS in time for the local evening news. Wow! The news indicated a "Columbine" style plot was just foiled. It had been planned for The Villages Charter Middle School. It leaked out when those involved told some students to wear white T shirts if they didn't want to get shot. The dark truth was they said this because blood shows up better on white!
We live in Dark Times!
With the late breakfast and lunch today - supper will be just nibbles.

The fireplace is on in the RV this evening as the
clouds and cooler weather are beginning to arrive.
No events planned for this evening. Jeopardy
and a table game or two while we TV surf our way through the evening.That’s a wrap for today.
