Quiet day

It was a quiet day here at CCRV and we straightened up the MH a bit and settled in.   Our personal paper delivery person (Ron) stopped by with the paper and visited for a while.  He finally had to get going and do some chores.  It was nice chatting with him and getting caught up on some things going on around here.

They had a spaghetti dinner at the Rec center tonight and Ron K joined us for the dinner.  For some reason the attendance was way down from past years and less than half of the hall was filled up.  It was a more relaxed meal and people actually stayed around after the meal and socialized for a while.  In the past as soon as the dinner was served, everyone was shooed out of the center and they cleaned the tables and turned off the lights.  Much better this year.

It was another bright and sunny day here with a high in the upper 60s or low 70s.  Just about perfect weather for this time of the year.  It's around 10pm and we don't have the heat on yet, so that is great also.

I had the Kentucky-Indiana basketball game on TV and was halfway watching it.  Indiana had a large lead and Kentucky came back and went ahead by a point with 6 seconds to go.  Indiana didn't have a timeout and rushed the ball up court and made a 3 point shot with about .4 seconds left on the clock.  Time expired with the shot and they won by 1 point.  What a finish to a great game.  I love how excited and into the game the fans and players get in a college game.  

I worked for the Navy for 9 years and root for Navy in the Army-Navy football game.  Navy won again for the 10th straight year in a close game.  I feel sorry for Army losing all those games but they were good sports in the end.   

So much for the sports wrap up.

  1. We usually stay away from spaghetti dinners, as too often the sauce is insipid (my Suzy makes a fabulous sauce, so we are spoiled), and the pasta is either chewy (undercooked) or mushy (overcooked). Sure hope yours was a better deal than that! We're still planning to come see you!
