Happy Halloween. Last day of October.   It was a sad day for me.  I got up and jumped on the scales expecting to see a huge loss after walking so much this week only to find out I gained 3.6.. I was back up to 215!.  There must be something wrong with the scale.  After that disappointing news I got dressed and ate breakfast.  Then walked the dogs. 
I was still tired after all the work I did yesterday.   Steve worked this morning.   We hung out until it was time to go to lunch with the Sullivans.   We dined at the Wild Fig.  We sat outside.   It was a bit nippy since I didn't bring a sweater.  We got back about 1:30 then took the dogs to the dog park.  Then started prepping the casserole for the dinner at 4 pm.  We went down about 3:30 and got a seat.  We had pot luck which I hate because you end up with too much food.  I did manage to avoid the dessert table.  Steve managed to loose 13 pounds since we went to the doctor on the first of the month. And he still eats a lot.  Steve won the pumpkin carving contest .  A whole 10 dollars which he graciously let me keep.  Back home to clean up the dishes.  The the usual TV and games.

Wow I worked hard all day long.  I haven't worked that hard in a long time. Steve left around 7 .  I got up and had breakfast.  Then the dogs and I went out for outmr walk and passed by Steve "working " at the propane place.  Then I got busy.  I pulled the sheets off the bed and sorted the laundry.  I made the cornbread bottom for the tamale pie.  Then the taco meat also for the tamale pie.  I put the new sheets on the bed.  Then I made spaghetti sauce for dinner.  Steve came back from after noon.  We ate leftover pizza for lunch.  Then off to the grocery  store in Oakhurst.  Bought a cartful of groceries.   Brought them into the house and put them away.  Then we loaded up the cart with the laundry and I headed over there.  It was a very busy place since the electricity  went out. Once I had them in the washer I drove back to the house.   Gary and Marie McCord stopped by to say hi.  Then back to the laundromat to put the clothes in the dryer. Back to the rig to walk the dogs.  Then back to the the laundromat to fold all the clothes.   Back to the rig.  Once I got to the rig I thought I left my quarters at the laundry.  Back to the rig.  Steve had the quarters.  Fixed dinner and out my clothes away.  The collapsed on the bed with TV and games.

Today Steve was up and out the door at 7:30. He was up about 5. Not to work at the pole barn but to start working on the golf cart back seat.  I got up and took the dogs for a short walk.  Did the morning  routine.  Started sewing until I was needed to had Steve tools.  I tried helping but I think I was more in the way than anything.   We finally  finished  the project and got everything put away.  Took our normal ride through the park.  Had lunch, sewed left for Pizza dinner at Coast 2 Coast Pizza in Coarsegold.   Back to the rig to feed the dogs.  TV and games as usual.

We have power!  Life is good.  It is amazing how much of your life runs on and is dependent on electricity. 
Steve got up early and walked up to the pole barn to do maintenance.   I got yo about 7:30 had breakfast dressed and took the dogs for a walk.  Then I decided to start cutting out yes more potholders.   They make nice bread and butter gifts. 
Steve came home carving.  Lunch.  A cart ride around the par . We stopped and chatted with the Carpenters for about half an hour.  Then back to the rig .  The back seat to the golf cart came and of course am Steve had itvoutvof the box and partially together.
We turned the generator on about 4:30.  About 15 minutes later Dennie Evan's came over to tell us the power was on.  We had dinner .  Then I decided to do  dishes.   Then TV and Games.

Well we are back on generator power again.  PG&E decided tovto their cutting off the power about 2 pm.  I was right in the middle of sewing.
We got up on the early side.  I made Steve sausage and eggs for breakfast.  Did morning  chores and cleaned up.  I started sewing and Steve was busy cleaning out the shower trap, washing windows and puttering around.   Don't know what's gotten to the guy.  Then we had visitors.  Sally and Dan  Sullivan  came by with some friends of theirs.  Then Larry Kroeger came by to bring his friend Chuck by to see the rig.  After they left I made lunch.  I walked the dogs and chatted with Linda Shumaker and Sherree next door.   Then more sewing and carving till we were stopped because we had no power.  We took off for ice cream social and dropped the sign off at Bradley's  then we headed over to the club house for the social only to find out it was cancelled--no power.  Back to the house for our own private ice cream social. Steve and I took a long walk and saw Devra and Steve and chatted with Elaine Evans.  I did some cutting  and Steve carved.  We BBQ'ed some delicious meat for dinner.  Dishes and T V powered  by the generator.

I must say I feel right at home here in the park. It is nice to settle into one place for awhile. The neighbors are friendly. We have room to spread out.  Steve can spread his stuff out outside and in his shop. I  got up at 7 ate breakfast and dressed. At 8 Steve dropped me off at the dog park.  Steve went down to help put all the stuff back in the clubhouse .  I took the dogs for a long walk down to the 500's and back up the hill.  Sat down and cooled off then finished making the bed.  Then started sewing.  Steve carved for the rest of the morning and worked in refinishing Bradley's sign.
About noon we jumped in the car and went to Coarsegold to see the tarantula Festival.   We left after half an hour.  We went to Yosemite Lakes to go to Hillside Market.   We ate at the deli.  The sandwiches were cold, un cut, and bready.  The shakes we not very chocolate.   Their groceries were extremely high priced. 
Back to the rig.  More sewing.   A cart ride around the park dinner dishes and TV.

Finally  a day where we didn't go anywhere.we both got up after 7:30.  I actually woke up first.  We drove around in the cart a lot.  Even a night ride. I did some sewing and Steve did some choes around the house.  We did spend a lot of time in the cart and stopping and visiting the park people.  We tried on the cart cover.   And then we took it off and refolded it according to instructions.   We stopped by Bradley's and picked up a sign that they want refinished. 
We finished the day with me in the Bedroom watching TV and Steve down below watching his programs.
