Bill and I were up within 15 minutes
of each other on Tuesday, Feb. 6th. I was dressed and, on my way,
out the door when he was crawling out of bed. The sun was just beginning its
ascent over the distant mountain ranges. I toured the lanes again, hoping to
get a mile in at least and ended up at the clubhouse laundry to check
availability.

When I returned I suggested we get up
there right away as the washers would all be empty. Things were already in the
truck so Bill drove me up and helped load the washers before coming back home.
I always take my book and was able to sit inside waiting for it to complete its
cycle. After moving things to the dryers, I went outside to the patio chairs in
the sun.
It became very busy after that and I
was so glad we hustled when we did. Bill returned 10 minutes before things were
finished and helped me fold. It is nice to have that job done and all put away
before 9:30. Now we can relax and hope for the best as far as our RV wash. Beto’s
crew is expected around 11 am. We each had a bowl of cereal and then took our
books and my laptop outside. We picked things up off the floor, again, and this involved moving our dining chairs outside, the coffee table to the kitchen area and shoes and slippers put away.
What a gorgeous day! We tried not to
pay attention to the time but soon enough I saw Bill checking his watch and it
was close to 11:30. We are patient people and we’ve listened to all the jokes
about ‘Mexican time’ so figured what can we do but wait? We’d decided that we
weren’t going to call them again. We read our books and waited until just after 1. Because of the heat outdoors, Bill had the a/c running indoors and all windows closed. Considerate, thinking of them working on the carpets.
By this time, I was getting
frustrated and Bill said to go change and walk up to the pool. We agreed that
if they didn’t show by 3 pm, he would lock the Suite up and join me. Up at the
pool, it was quiet which surprises me on such a hot day. As usual, it was beautiful
and refreshing and I did my noodle floating thing as more and more people
arrived.

At 2:35 I looked up from my reclining
position and saw my sweetie setting his stuff on the lounge chair beside me.
Enough is enough, he said. He wasn’t waiting any longer, Beto’s just lost $80
and we gained $80. Mind you, our Suite is still dirty and our carpets did not get cleaned.
We’ll get it done down the road. We met another couple at the pool, Rick and
Jackie and exchanged ‘business’ cards. They are from Vancouver, Washington.

I was happy to see that Kevin and
Barb arrived at the pool while Bill was there too. Bill wanted to meet them. I
didn’t get to talk to them too much but Bill and Kevin chatted for a while over
at the hot tub. I made sure before I left to ask for their last name. I wanted
to find them on Facebook as a way of keeping in touch with them. They don’t
have cards to share.

Back at the Suite, we saw no signs of
Beto’s ever having been here and they do have our phone # anyway. We have
neighbours beside us again. Bill and Judy from Vancouver, Washington. Too
funny. We talked to ‘neighbour’ Bill for a while before lighting the barbecue
for supper. It was Burger night and I haven’t allowed myself to have a burger
on a bun for quite a while. Tonight is the night, I’m hungry for it.

Bill had a double bacon, cheeseburger
and mine was a single but we loaded them up with lettuce, pickles, tomato,
onion, mustard and mayo. Every bite was delicious. Guess what tonight is?
TUESDAY! And our regular shows are all on and starting at 6 pm MT. We are
looking forward to an enjoyable television evening together.

With dishes cleaned up, I downloaded
the few pictures I took today and posted my blog. It has been a good day with
us tossing today’s Jello out, ready for a new batch. I hope you’ve enjoyed
yours!
Thank you for stopping by. By the
way, if you are at all interested, my 5 sisters and I share a Wordpress blog
