Wednesday

Today was a good day to visit Walmart.

Our Friends Jim and Kath took us to the Oxford Landing Walmart so that we could stock up on goodies for the week we are in Florida. Oxford Landing serves The Villages, which is a massive development for the over fifties (more than 100,000 people). Without her electric wheelchair Sally is dependant on using one of their handicapped electric carts(scooters). While waiting, I idly asked how many carts they have. He told me he has 35 for the one Walmart store! He also thinks that is the largest number of electric carts in any store in the country. That is a piece of trivia that you may want to drop into the conversation at your next dinner party.

Today is Oakwood day, 30 of us went to the local Pork Rib Joint restaurant for dinner. Sally and I each had a very nice full rack of pork ribs (half of which is now residing in our fridge for lunch tomorrow).

As I sit here now a storm has been blowing up, we have had to take down other sides of Jim’s marquees and store all the plastic chairs out of the wind, now the rain is starting.
