Halloween

On the 14th I attended the genealogical society's monthly meeting and the topic was finding historical newspapers online. I always learn something at these meetings and I got some pointers on locating historical newspapers for my research. Mary and Carol both had things to do right after the meeting was over and couldn't go out to lunch. So I went to Applebee's for lunch and had their Classic Combo - a half a turkey sandwich on a ciabatta bun and broccoli cheddar soup. After lunch I went to Sam's Club to shop and stopped at Publix for some groceries before going home.

Mike bought some mold and mildew cleaner at Home Depot last week and he is getting ready to clean the exterior of the house in preparation for painting it. We've been waiting for cooler weather before we start our painting.

We had 25 Trick or Treaters tonight for Halloween which is about the same number we had last year. It got off to a late start and for a while we didn't think we were going to have any. We had all ages of Trick or Treaters and our last group were 6 teenagers who even put on a little song and dance show for us - which Mike and I totally enjoyed!

Our motorhome is sold

On the 4th Mike and I drove down to Port St. Lucie to the Home Show held at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center. I had printed a coupon good for 2 tickets for the price of one and we used it and paid $5 to get into the show. We had gone to last year's show and it seemed like the same vendors were here again.

While we were at the Home Show we got a call from the sales manager at PPL Motorhomes and we had an offer on our RV! We accepted the offer as it was pretty close to our price and the closing was Monday the 6th. After we got the call from PPL's sales manager on the 6th that it was a done deal, we called our insurance company and canceled the insurance on it and then canceled the subscription for the Sirius radio in the RV. We got our check from PPL at the end of this week (minus their 10% commission).

We knew that the majority of the buyers were looking for shorter RVs and ours was 39' long. Also our RV is a 2005 model and we found out from PPL that banks and loan companies aren't financing RVs that are over 10 years old and ours is close to that now. So it took longer to find the right buyer for our motorhome.

After we left the Home Show at the Port St. Lucie Civic Center, we stopped at Pueblo Viejo Mexican restaurant in Ft. Pierce for lunch and to celebrate selling our motorhome. Mike ordered the Azteca Burrito and I had the Fajita Quesadilla with chicken. Everything was very good and seasoned just right.
