HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year. We had a quiet day and didn't do anything. Just laid around and took it easy.



Saturday didn't go the way we planned, because I did something dumb. First I slept late, not a bad thing, just not the way I planned. I was going to do my laundry and while the clothes were washing I was going to the office for breakfast. When I was done we were going shopping. Vern had a gift card from Target he wanted to spend.



By the time I got to the laundry room, someone was already there and both washers were in use. -- 2 washers are broken and waiting to be fixed -- I had to wait a 1/2 hour for the washers. I went to the office and had breakfast and talked with the staff until the washers were done. I finally got the laundry started and went back to the office and checked out the books in the book exchange and looked at a magazine. Went back and got the laundry in the dryers. I went back to the motor home to wait for the dryers and talk to Vern, he was back from his jog. After about 40 minutes I went back to the laundry room to check on the clothes. (the dryers run for about 50 minutes) (Now for the dumb part.) The clothes were still wet, I forgot to push the start buttons on the dryers. How dumb or forgetful can you get. Even though the dryer didn't run the timer did. When I did push the start button I had about 7 - 8 minutes dry time. I had to use another $1.25 to dry and wait another 50 minutes for the dryer. I bet that never happens again. Vern said he has done that before, but caught it before he left the laundry room.



We finally went shopping about 12:30. The traffic on I-35 was heavy going both north and south. We decided some of it was travelers headed home and people headed for bowl games. There will probably be a few Iowa cars headed for Miami for the orange bowl game on Tuesday.



Everyone take care and have a great day. Love to you all.
