We had intended to leave for the Keys yesterday. It may be that we were still suffering the disappointing loss of Butler in the final game of the playoffs. Or it may have been that we were tired from running around like crazy people doing errands and maintenance. Severe weather and storms were also looming over the area. Whatever the reason or reasons, we decided after breakfast to just stay put and leave the following day
Retirement sure has its advantages. You can certainly be a lot more flexible and not driven by a tight schedule. It turned out to be a good decision because the rain and wind was very fierce about an hour laert and it rained most of the day.
John decided to work on our bedroom light above our bed. A couple of days ago it just stopped working. Our neighbor, Berkley, came over and quickly noted that transformer had blown. He has the same make, model, and year as our coach. Lo and behold, he had a spare light fixture and offered it to us. Wow! That was so nice. Campers are the nicest people! Thanks so much. Within no time the light was replaced and working well.
I treated the two hard working fellas to some homeade Snickerdoodles. They were yummy!
In the afternoon, we went to see the movie Adjustment Bureau with Matt Damon. It has a very interesting twist and revolves around free will versus predestination.
Today we woke up to blue skies and a beautiful morning. We got everything ready and said good bye to Berkley and Karen. We are heading south for Key West. We are so excited and are looking forward to our friend Debbie coming for a visit while we are there. Our dog Jimmy is so excited to be near his name sake Jimmy Buffet.
hope Jimmy actually does get to meet Jimmy Buffet!!..enjoy Key West!!
ReplyDeleteAh, Carol, I only have a microwave/convection thingy in the MoHo and do miss making fresh baked goodies now and then when we are traveling. The doodles look great. Once more, we are all talking about food again!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and Mo...those doodles are actually made in my microwave/convection thingy. No need to miss out. Just give it a try.
ReplyDeleteNice to see someone has mastered baking in the 'thingy'. My first attempt to bake brownies went horribly wrong & I am a little gun shy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Keys...Those cookies really look good. You are right about the microwave/convection ovens. I have one, and I make everything in it I would in a regular oven.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Keys...wish we could meet you there. If you get a chance to check out Sunshine Key rv park near Marathon, let us know. It's one of our Thousand Trails Parks we can use. We're hoping to get there next month, if the house sale goes through.
ReplyDeleteOh my, those Snickerdoodles sure looked good! Some things work “okay” in our “microwave/convection thingy” and some do not. Brownies are always a challenge; they tend to be beyond done in some areas and fresh chocolate goo in other areas. Enjoy your time in Key West!
