Nov 14 - 20 2011 ~~Southern Oaks Weekly Recap~~

Nov 14th  Monday
Another week is here and it will be interesting to see how this week turns out.   It was warm when I got up. Dan wants to go to Corpus today and buy a new printer. The one that we had didn't want to print.  .. What an ordeal looking for a printer that took the same number ink that we spent a fortune one in ink..
While we were out we ate at the Golden Corral and then stopped at Bealls to use some 30% coupons that we had.  Got back home to see that park was hydro seeding some areas..  I made some flower pins and Dan went to Happy Hour.  Made a sandwich and got ready to watch THE PACKER game... YEH PACK!!!!! 15 - 0
Nov 15th Tuesday
74 degrees at 6 AM.. Dan went and had coffee with the boys, I decided it was a good day to stay inside and try to keep cool.. Made some more flower pins.  Dan and I went to What-a burger for lunch.  The awnings that Dan ordered for 2 of our outside windows arrived and he stopped and  picked them up at the office. Went to happy hour and back to the trailer, made dinner and then after it was dark and the sun went down Dan and I sat outside to enjoy the evening.  the sun and the heat is just too much for me to live here all the time.. I really like my cooler weather in Northern Michigan.
Nov 16th  Weds
59 degrees @ 6am in the morning. What a cool morning it was.   Now that is alot better than 74 degrees.  Dan volunteered to help make picnic tables today.  They were going to make 24 of them and they had an assembly line set up.  2 were cutting the wood, and the rest  of them all worked in different stages and they got them all made.,

The rest of them are inside the building as they are using them until the Community building is done.

Nov  17th Thurs
58 degrees this morning.. Nice and cool, I decided to take a walk today, and my friend Susan is walking with me.. I walked a mile and half..  which I have not done that distance for some time. I felt good and my bones did not ache when I got done.  Called and ordered the paper today. Dan helped assemble the last 4 tables and then he went to Corpus with the boys.  Harbor Freight ,Pet Smart and then the B-B-Q man for lunch... he had a great day with the boys. I made a Rhubarb Torte and then got ready to go out for PIZZA HUT.. We met HOC (Heartland Owners Club) friends there. one couple we just met last Sat and the other couple we seen on the forum and they drove from George West to join us.  Another couple who own a SOB (some other brand) came in and we had them join us. We had lot of laughs and decided to do this again Dec. 1st.   Hopefully some more HOC will be here and they can join us.  We are going to meet at the BOILING POT in Rockport.

Nov 18th  Friday
55 degrees and sunny at 7AM.. It was a nice cool morning and I decided that I was going to walk with Susan this morning   I did not do the mile today, maybe a half of mile.. 
Dan decided that he was going to install the vertical blinds in the back window today.. Oh how I did not like those day night shades..they were hard to pull down and when you put them up the bottom rod bowed and looked like you know what???  Susan came to my rescue and asked me to go shopping with her... So off to Rockport we went and look through some of those cute little shops. I bought a few little things and tried on another pair of yellow box sandals,... I bought one pair already and put them away for my cruise and sure want another pair.  When I got back, everything was done and cleaned up.




GREAT JOB DAN
                                  Went to happy hour and then grilled out and settled in for the night...

Nov 19th  Sat
Another nice morning with warm breeze coming in the windows. There was coffee and doughnuts in the community room at 9 am. We met some more people and the owners in the gated area. We laughed and enjoyed the morning.. Late afternoon it got warmer and humid so I closed the windows and turned on the air.. Dan installed one of the window awnings and that took most of the afternoon.. boy does that make a difference. That sure makes a difference when that sun is beating in on the window. He will install the other window tomorrow.

I watched the last race of the NASCAR NATIONWIDE it was a good race. Dan went to Happy Hour and we made steaks and then went to the Community Building for a dance. Gary Propuck was the DJ and did a wonderful job. We made it an early night. 
Nov 20th  Sun

59 degrees and breezy.  Dan made breakfast this morning and then later I went and washed clothes.. It was a lazy day . NASCAR


Temp was 77 degrees at 9 PM.
Dan and I went to Chili's for dinner and when  we got back the race was still on and had 25 laps left. Tony Stewart won the race and the championship. Tony and Carl Edwards sure showed what good sportsmanship is all about.  It was a long day and a close of a long week.
