An Awesome Friday!

Thanks for joining us on our journey of North America
 in our Holiday Rambler, since August 2006

Where are we today ?

        A very mild night last night about 45f (6c) so quite warm inside. This morning up bright and early as usual and toasty warm. Sunrise is nice, coffee's, computing and walkabouts excellent. And we have no plans for today, lovin it!

        I took a short drive to Forest for the bank machine and stopped by the grocery store for a few items. Then home for a bite to eat for lunch. Soon as we were done, a knock on the door and its our friend Larry. They had just arrived this morning for a few weeks here before heading back to Galvin Bay Resort that we go to as well.

        He stopped by for a while and we chatted catching up with our winter travels. Larry and Shirley are fulltimers as well and travel a similar route to us for the winter months. Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and California, and we never seem to cross paths. But we have been meeting up here and Galvin Bay Resort for the last 6 years. Oh we did meet up in Desert Hot Springs California once about three years ago.
nice to see Larry again
        After he left, Justin dropped by to say hello, a very nice friendly sales person we met here a few years ago as well. Nothing he can sell us, just likes to stop by and chat.

        After Justin's visit we headed up the hill to visit with Steve and Barb, fulltimers we also met about ten years ago and visit every winter in Picacho Peak Arizona, Ontario and New York. Here we chatted over a beverage then Al and Sandra (more fulltimers) dropped by to join the group and even a couple more people, looks like we are having a "Happy Hour".

        When we got there about 3:00 pm it was about 70f (22c) and very comfortable. By 4:30 pm it was cool, overcast and only 42f (5c). So now its time for us too leave. Too cold to be out here.
Happy hour is getting chilly
         Now we had a plan for supper in place already. Going to Mulligan's Bar and Grill at Akrona Fairways, next to the resort. Friday's they have beer for $2:50 and chicken wings for .63 cents each. That's a good deal here in Ontario and we really love chicken wings. So off the two of us go to warm up our cold bodies with a feast of wings, fries, and a cold beverage.  We have been here a few times and the wings are pretty good (not great) but everything is fresh, hot, the service is very good, and the price was right, they are real close to home and I take my own hot sauce.
yep the food is fresh and hot
        Now cravings satisfied, and our bodies warmed up we can head back home, toasty warm in our house with a drizzly bit of rain that begins to happen. Compute for a bit, read a while and turn on the tube.

         Yes life is good! Good Friends, good food and pretty good weather, even our health is pretty good too, what more can we ask for?

        Thanks again for stopping by.

    1. Don't tell me that you don' eat? We usually have a late breakfast and an early supper, thats it. I just happen to make it a part of my blog where most people don't.

    1. Show up anytime, but best to let us know because I usually just portion for two (from my restaurant days), we have lotsa plates.

  3. Looks like you two have been busy meeting up with other fulltimers. Always nice to get together and swap stories.

    $2.50 for a beer in Ontario, now that's a deal for sure.
