Before it starts

 Next week is a busy one for us, with Tuesday and Wednesday being the busiest. We have never been in this position before and new territory can be interesting. We do have neighborly help on the unknown parts. It will be a relief to get back to what we have done every other season which is getting the MoHo ready to roll. We can almost do that in our sleep. Butch was just angsting over which tools to leave here and which ones to take. Next season should take care of all this indecision stuff.

This is the weekend for the Masters and it is the one weekend of the entire year whereby I can not make ANY plans for him. I did just have the thought that I could phone some friends who I need to be in touch with and haven't been of late. This weekend would be great for that.

The night before last we visited with our neighbors to the north.  Night, I say? It was 4 PM. Happy hour in any RV park ever! It was a nice get-acquainted situation. Our North neighbors are Bill and Sandi from Minnesota.

On Monday we are going to South Padre with our neighbors to the South, Jerry, and Roseann from Illinois. Jerry and I share an interest in photography and birding while Roseann and Butch share an interest in Bridge. Getting such good neighbors was a happy accident.

The trivia friends we have made gifted Renie, Butch, and me with a gift certificate for a meal and of course, Alex was included.😊 So last night we went to Cheddars and enjoyed a wonderful meal and topped it off with a stop at Dairy Queen. Renie and I walked almost every morning we could all season.  I will miss my walking partner until we get back to Jefferson where Keri and I can pick up where we left off. Finding someone to walk with on a regular basis is not all that easy. It is a great way to become friends in a different way. We try to solve all the world's problems, share ideas and make some funfilled plans.

It won't be long now till we are back in Jefferson. On April 21 if all goes as planned. We look forward pretty much equally to each location. See ya' soon!

Perfect Hard Cooked Eggs

 For many years, I would say at least 10, this is the method I have used to hard cook eggs. It is so simple and foolproof that it is nearly unbelievable.

I ran across the source of where I first discovered the method. So click on it and read through the directions and you will then know one of my favorite kitchen tips. If you already own an Instant Pot you are halfway there and if you don't own one make it a priority for your next garage sale list of things to buy. So many people give up on their Instant pots after a use or two.

Goodnews/Badnews

 The good news is that the head cold was short-lived. 4 Days and it was mostly gone. The bad news is the temperature and humidity is on the rise. They are predicting triple-digit temperatures tomorrow. Only one day, but one is enough.

...forgot that I had not finished this...oh well...this too shall pass. We did have one day of extreme heat. 107 and it was a shock to the system. Both Butch and I remember the days of our youth when we would traditionally have a week or two in the summer where it would be at or near triple digits and this was before AC! We have not had this occur in many years. This one-day wonder that we experienced on 4/6/2022 was quite the surprise and everyone hunkered down in their tiny homes.  And then in the evening of the very same day, we watched the thermometer drop from 105 to 82 in a matter of an hour and by the early morning of the next day, it was a pleasant 61. Mother Nature had a TIA, I suspect. The weather for the past decade or so has been a roller coaster ride.

On to other stuff...trying to live in 2 places is not easy and I will be ready to close this chapter and head on up the road to Canyon Lake next Thursday. We will be staying with friends Terry and Lisa Linder and that is always a good time. We will be heading north from their place on Monday(19th). This will depend on the weather of course but that is the plan for right now.

Today I am doing laundry in the Park Model and I miss my front load washers! I have front-loads in Jefferson and in the MoHo and I am a convinced converter from the top loads. Clothes are cleaner and dryer when they come out of the front loader by a considerable amount. I most likely will put up with what I have for the foreseeable future.

And that, my dear friends, is enough bellyaching for one day! See ya'all soon!
