Shopping

(Avon Park, FL)  Hi 65 Lo 44 -- It was a chilly night, but our little ceramic heater kept us warm without turning on the furnace. It's only going to be cold a couple of days. I wish Alaska and Canada would keep their cold fronts to themselves and not pass them to the lower 48.

Since we're not moving for awhile we're trying to get into somewhat of a routine. I get up a couple hours after Jim. He reads his emails and news feeds and watches the news before I get up. I grab a cup of coffee, check outside to see what's going on, read my emails and blogs. It's amazing how fast the mornings go, and it's noon before we know it.

After lunch we decide what to do for the day. I wanted to find the sunblocker for the awning today so we started out with that in mind. We checked the one local place we were told they custom make them, but they said they didn't. The next stop was Walmart to see if they had any in their camping section. No luck. So we got some groceries while we were there.

We're finding out that most parks we stay at don't have a picnic table at the site. Jim has been wanting some kind of table to keep set up outside to put the grill on, and to set things on when working in the basement compartments. Walmart has a nice folding table that we bought today. It folds in the middle and is very sturdy when it's set up. We got a 5-foot long one, the middle of three different sizes. It's big enough to hold the grill, and also to eat on.

We're still in search of the sunblocker. We have a few more places to look tomorrow.
