Sun – 8 Jan/17

The temps dropped to the mid-30’s F during the night.

Despite this we were cozy in bed while we had coffee cake for breakfast while watching CBS Sunday Morning.

Then it was time to head out – going South. Although cool, it was a sunny day. We took the “Back Roads” which were really quiet on a Sunday.

 

First stop was Harbor Freight in Apopka, FL were we picked up a few (4) magnetic tool strips, two 4” magnetic bowls and a plastic box of smaller (25) boxes (for stuff).

 

Then we were off on Hwy-441 to Costco in Altamont Springs, FL. I had seen a Keurig Coffee Maker there on the last trip and thought it had good features at a good price. This was before our coffee maker quit working. We were returning to see if they still had some in stock.

They did so we picked it up along with 2 cooling pillows, 2 more “InstaCrates” (we got 2 last trip and wanted two more) and a box of blueberries. It was a quick in and out.

We decided to pass on hotdogs at the “Costco Café” as it is not inside; but outside and today outside was cold!

 

We returned on Hwy-441 which was less busy than on week days. The plan was to stop at Renniger’s Florida Twin Markets.

 

 

We changed our mind when we realized this was the second Sunday of the month and it was “Guitars & Cars” Swap Day making it really crowded.

This decision to pass on stopping at the Flea Market was a “Double Whammy”. Lunch was going to be a bucket of “Mini-Donuts” which is a regular treat for us when we stop here.  

Solution for one “Whammy” was that we would go to the Webster Flea Market on Monday instead.

 

Solution for the second “Whammy” was lunch at Golden Corral just a little bit down Hwy-441. This was a good decision as the weekend features Prime Rib which was excellent.

We were back at the motorhome in time for the second NFL “Wild Card” game (NY Giants vs Green Bay Packers).

After the game we called both of our girls back home. We don’t get Canadian News; however the local news stations were showing really bad storms in the northern USA. Thankfully the bad weather missed them; but it is 20 Below in the Great White North.

The good news was that Marty’s (Grandson and Goalie) team won Bronze in a hockey tournament and Marty and Nick also got in some snowboarding last week. Marty has to go back to school tomorrow (Boo-Hoo!).

That wraps up our 4^th Sunday in the park. My – How time flies!
