Robertsdale & Back

 It was a little hard waking up this morning after our working & playing day in the heat yesterday. After breakfast Joan and I drove to Robertsdale for business. That is business that just didn't pan out. We had an appointment to look at a 2012 Freedom Elite 21 ft motor home. This was the size and layout we have been looking for.

Even the price was right on this one so both of us had hopes it was the one. Well the first thing Joan did was to lift the cushions on the bunk over the cab and not only was there standing water under those cushions by lifting them the smell that came out was awful. Or course this shocked the sales lady but then even though an awning was advertised there was no awning. NOPE even if they fixed where the water got in and bought new cushions we will not purchase a motor home without an awning. We stopped at the Walmart in Robertsdale so Joan could get a few more supplies. She is doing the deep cleaning on mom's condo and needed items to repair things. Our kids had fun playing in the sand and in the water while Joan's kids worked. Rhoda and Taunya took the van furniture shopping this afternoon and bought new bedroom furniture for the room we are sleeping in and the room Sarah is sleeping in. Then Rhoda decided she would post the current furniture on Facebook market place. Almost as soon as it was posted she had someone wanting to come pick it up tonight at 8:00 pm.  Unfortunately the new furniture won't arrive until Friday. Anna sent a text that our airbnb renters left and left us a gift.

They also left this nice thank you note.

We picked up mom and Aunt Jinnie just a little after 5:00 pm and left for GT's on the Bay for our dinner. When we arrived we chose to sit inside in the air conditioning.   Below we are ordering our meals.  

Zion and Abe enjoyed watching the fish in the huge tank.

This restaurant has a very good salad bar. Zion thought it was delicious.

A storm came through dumping rain on all the outdoor customers so they all came streaming inside to eat. The water is so high that all the docks we walked out on last year are all under water.  We had to rush home to take all of our clothes out of the furniture Rhoda and Taunya sold and barely got it done before the people showed up to take it.  Taunya felt so bad we didn't have any where to keep our clothes that she and Rhoda drove back to Walmart tonight and bought two night tables and a bunch of hangers. Abe got to stay with me. 

Amy baked cookies and we celebrated the day with cookies and ice cream.  Everyone is now in bed except me. Some are sound asleep but some are so busy loudly laughing that it really is a good thing we don't have neighbors. We really are having a good time together.
