We loaded up this morning and headed back to the Flea Market, after a quick stop at McDonalds for breakfast sandwiches. David went with us today, he likes to help his Grandpa look for bargains at the flea market. The guy who was supposed to bring the gourds didn't -- said it was raining when he got home. Apparently, he must have had to go pick them. Anyway, that was the main reason we went, but we still stopped. There were a lot more booths and tables today than yesterday, and we all found something we thought we needed. After our scenic drive back to the house, I got to watch the Cardinal's football game. A great game to watch, since Tiffany, Eric, Cody and Kaylee were all at that game back home (I never did see them, but they said they made the teletron at halftime), and a nice win for us.
Then it was off to the Elvis concert. Lisa and David were outside when we left, working with Spot.
The Elvis concert was different from any others we have been to. This was not an impersonator, it was the talent from the local Arts Center in a tribute to Elvis, with two narrators telling his life story, and different members of the Center performing his songs. While they didn't try to imitate him, they did sing his songs like he sang them, within their range. And one woman came out in constume -- I've never seen the "Elvis cape look" on a female, so that got a good laugh. It was very good, with pictures lit up behind the stage of Elvis, some of his movie and album covers. Two and a half hours of listening to Elvis songs -- not a bad way to spend an evening.
When we got back home, Nancy had to get to bed because she still has a J O B (only for about 2 more months, then she is retiring), so Lisa filled in at the card table. Another fun evening.
Monday Joe and I got some chores taken care of. First was laundry, but then I started trying to get the RV back in some kind of order to travel on Wednesday. Joe worked on his "fix-it" list, with Mike's help, of course. So it was a productive day. And I baked a cake, and had dinner ready (ham and beans) when Nancy got home. We had an early card game, but it wasn't without its moments. Joe had complained (imagine that) about the cards sticking together, so they broke out new decks, which of course are slick. He dumped them once (we are using 4 decks), and Nancy did too, so we spent some time picking cards up off the floor. But the guys won, so I'm sure they think it was due to the new cards.
Another dreary day here, and it rained in the early evening, and probably during the night. Temperatures have been in the 60-70 range, so we haven't had to use too much of Mike's electricity to keep the RV cool, which is a good thing. Maybe we will get invited back.
