Nancy here:  Today my mother had an eye doctor appointment at 2:30. I drive her to this appointment since it is out of her driving comfort zone. I suggested we go out for Chinese food for lunch.  She thought that was a great idea.  I will get my Chinese food fix so that will make me happy as well. Bill will not touch the stuff;o((

In the morning we just chilled.  I needed to let my blisters heal.  So no walking today;o((  Of course, Bill did what all full-timers do when they have nothing else to do… 

Rearrange The Storage Compartments;o))

I suggested that since he never seems to get it right… He might just make it a game called Musical Storage Bins!!  We will start the music. He picks up a bin and circles the motorhome.  When the music stops, the bin goes in THAT compartment.  Since the bin he needs is never in the right spot anyway, this game would be a lot more fun and might just be the perfect solution.  If it isn’t right, you get to play the game over and over….which is what he does anyway.  Now he can think of it as playing instead of work ;o))

While he was PLAYING (rearranging), I enjoyed the cool things right outside our door.  Didn't have to walk very far to see all these cool things :o))

Red Admiral Butterfly

They were all over this wonderfully fragrant shrub. 

If you know what this shrub is... please share!!



American Lady Butterfly

Cardinal

Carolina Chickadee

Blue Jays

These birds are fun to watch.  They can't perch at the feeder. But where there is a will, there is a way. Instead, they fly into it, knock the seed on the ground and ENJOY ;o))

Pretty Wildflowers

Fiddler Crab

Normally, they live in the salt marsh.

This fellow has staked a claim behind the motorhome ;o))

Wednesday, May 2nd

Today was an errand day. An Nancy would say... we were "busy, busy, busy!!" We have planned a kayak trip for tomorrow, so today was a get things done day. We are leaving here on Friday morning and all the necessary preparation for leaving took place today.


After walking and breakfast, we loaded up the Tahoe with laundry and headed out to the local laundromat. On our way, we stopped at Lee's Farmers market where we bought a supply of sandwich tomatoes, corn on the cob, string beans and "white" sweet potatoes.  We had never heard of white sweet potatoes.  But the owner said they taste great and are very light yellow in color. Nancy wants to try to make chips out of them:o)


Next stop was to pick up our Zero Gravity Chairs we had ordered last week. As a matter of fact, I'm sitting in my chair as I write this blog.

Finally, on to the laundromat. Nancy dropped me off and continued on to the grocery store.  I was just about finished folding the wash when she pulled up...GOOD THING;o))

Just a couple more errands - get Mother's Day Cards, buy more herb plants and bird seed.

Remember how we told you the Blue Jays access the seed by flying into the feeder to knock the seed to the ground?!?!  Well, just before we left this morning, this is what happened...

Uh Oh...Where's the feeder??

Uh Oh..., we think they hit it a little too hard!!

Fortunately, we have another feeder,

but that was the last of the seed ;o(

With all our errands done, we headed home and unloaded our goodies and clean laundry. When we put the laundry away, we realized some of the socks were not really dry.  Not to worry... this new Journey comes with everything we need. 

Our own personal Sock Dryer!!

We are both glad these "work" days are few and far between. Now, my next project is to learn how to operate our new Anti Gravity Chairs. That could take the rest of the day and most of the evening. I really need to get a lot of practice ;o))
