Being Amongst Friends

Sunday was time to move on. We have come to Belleview, to Connie and Jim’s house, where they have some hook-ups. We are staying here until Wednesday, when we plan to go to Palatka for a bluegrass festival.
But first the Big Game. Superbowl CX11, I think that is roman for 42, now there is a significant number, also known as 10101010, so JP tells me. Anyway, tonight the New England Patriots, who have won every game this season (17) were set to crush the New York Giants who are rank outsiders, so far outside so as you couldn’t even hear them. They got through to the playoffs as a ‘wild card’, so they didn’t even qualify through the games they won. So guess who won. Yep, Giants trounced the Patriots 17 to 14. It was such a close game that we even watched it right to the end!
We have stayed with Connie and Jim for two days now, yesterday we had a lie in, went for a mooch around the local Publix, to stock up food for the week, then took Connie and Jim and Paula to eat at Sam’s Seafood Restaurant, I have never seen so many prawns on skewers. It was a lovely meal.
Today we didn’t have so much of a lie in, I have spent a lot of time updating the Ridings Website. We now have the dates and information for the Meetings this year, I eventually finished that. Connie’s son-in-law’s brother, wife and mother came over to see Connie and Jim, so we went out to Sonny’s Ribs reataurant, where we ate Pork ribs till they cam out of our ears (no not literally).
This afternoon Sally set about correcting some of the awful workmanship of the trailer builders by taking off all the cushion and seat covers and using Connie’s sewing machine to reinforce every seam. I meanwhile went with Connie t get supplies for the Palatka festival at ‘Sams’, a cash and carry owned by Wal-Mart. So you can buy everything you get at Wal-Mart, but in bulk and at a discount. Very interesting.
Hopefully when Sally finishes the cushion covers we will get a relax in the outdoor spa and jacquoozie (I don’t know how to spell it). Rrelaxing under the stars in the hot water, with the old bubble machine going. I will tell later whether it was as good as it sounds.
