Monday 10-30 Halloween Dance

Halloween Eve

We started the day off by going for walk. Today we walked three miles on the Pepper Creek Trail in Temple. We wore a light jacket but by the time we finished we needed to take the jackets off.

The foam in the seat cushions of the dinnet in the Minnie are worn out, Earl at Troutt's Upholstery did such a good job on redoing our couch seat we decided to use him again. When we went to get the couch worked on Earl was so backed up that he gave us an appointment that was over three weeks away, today he said he could have the cushions done on Thursday, it would have been even quicker but he has to order the foam.

On the way home we stopped by the Temple Library to check out the new Cork O'Connor book. We also decided to check out the second and third season of Sherlock Holmes that was on KLRU.

We normally only buy Campbell's Chunky soups but while we were on our trip we bought a few cans of Great Value soup, we had not tried them yet so today for lunch we had the chicken gumbo, it was very good.

After lunch Larry decided to work on a review for the Wagner Flexio 3000 paint gun he received from the Home Depot Seeds Program. It is a new model of electric sprayer and it worked great. It comes with two different plastic containers, one was designed for a regular paint and the other one was designed for fine painting with light weight material such as stain. The biggest problem with spray equipment is cleaning it after you use it but it was no more difficult than other paint guns.

Larry finished up sanitizing the water tank in the Minnie. He filled it up with clean water, emptied it, and filled it up again, he also ran lots of clean water through the pipes and water heater.

In the evening we went to Sun City to dance with the Sundancers. Tonight was their Halloween Dance. They had 10 squares during the Grand March and enough people sitting out for another couple of squares. They invited Lucy and Jerry Pate to cue round dancing in between the tips which brought a lot of round dancers. Brad Caldwell called with Dan Clairmont. There were six tips and two of them were plus. There was a special guest, Randy Dougherty who calls in Mesa and in the Rio Grande Valley, we have danced to him many times and we really like him. He didn't call tonight but it gave us chance to visit with him. Some of the dancers did a great job of dressing up for Halloween. We had a super time dancing with friends to Brad and Dan. LIFE IS GOOD!!!
