Neighbors, Mable and Piggly Wiggly

Hollywood, SC.
54 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 72 deg. sunny, NW winds @ 10 to 15 mph.

Not a real lot happened here at Lake Aire yesterday. Jim went up to the office and got me registered for 3 more nights, so we'll be staying here until Saturday.

He also spent some time talking to the neighbors, (I didn't get their names), and found out that they are planning on going full-timing in a couple of years. As most of you full-timers know, when you meet someone who is planning on going full-time and they find out that you are already doing it, they have lots of questions. Well, Jim loves to answer their questions and help them out in any way he can, so the discussion lasted quite awhile. They're going to be here until sometime this weekend too, so I imagine there will be more conversations under the awning. :-)

There's also a man named Bill, who has a 5th wheel and is in the site across the road and in front of me, that Jim talked to for awhile. He and his wife are full-timers and they work-camp a lot. In fact, they will be leaving here soon to take a work-camping position in Texas for the winter.

You meet the nicest people in campgrounds. :-)

After lunch, Jim and Linda took CLT, (Cute Little Truck), and headed to a Piggly Wiggly grocery store that Mable had found. She said that it was the closest store to this park, so being that Jim and Linda had been to Piggly Wiggly stores before and liked them, they decided to follow her instructions.

Oh, I'm sorry, some of you may not know who Mable is. Mable is the little lady that lives inside of Jim and Linda's GPS unit and helps us navigate to our destinations. She's usually very accurate, but has been know to lead us astray a few time in the past.

Anyway, Mable's instructions were good and Jim and Linda found the store without any problems. They didn't need a whole lot of groceries, but needed some essentials like bread and milk, so decided to pick up some other items while they were there.

For dinner, Jim cooked a steak out on the grill and Linda prepared some yellow squash and onion, and some garlic bread inside.

It sure all smelled good, and both Jim and Linda said that it tasted really good too! ;-)

Did you know that today is "National Men Make a Dinner Day"?

Good luck, guys. ;-)
