Warming tread
It is warming up in Florida, mid 70's today! Don joined in the campground yard sale and did good. Then he went on the roof of the motorhome and sealed some areas, needs still more sealer to finish the project. While he was so busy, I surfed the internet, read and did a couple things around the house. Later we went for dinner at Sweet Tomatoes, a favorite place of ours.

Escapees Luncheon
We went to the Escapees' RV Club lunch toady at Golden Corral, good to see friends we haven't seen since before Christmas. I also went to Verizon and looked at smart phones, the salesman was very knowledgeable and gave me a lot of good information. I have to wait until Jan. 12 until I can get a new phone, I hope I can decide which brand by then!
It was another cold night last night and cool day again but we are promised it will warm up now. Rapid City, SD was warmer than we are here in Florida!

Brrrrrr!
Temps got down to 27 degrees last night, mid 50's today - too cold for Florida.
We had lunch at Red Lobster - good lunch but it was cold in the restaurant. I kept my wrap on but my legs and feet got cold. Hard to enjoy a nice lunch when you are shivering!
After the lunch we went to a movie in an actual theater and a very nice one with reclining chairs and a super great sound system. We saw Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol with Tom Cruise. We really enjoyed the movie.

Changing seats
We almost never ask for a different table at a restaurant than the one the host has set us at - BUT:
Today we went out for breakfast and were seated by a young mom, her baby and two pre-schoolers. The kids were doing the normal thing kids do - moving around, pestering each other, etc. The mom was constantly yelling at them, yelling so loud other people were turning around and looking. We couldn't take it and asked to be moved and were relocated in the opposite side of the place - we could still hear her. Poor kids with a mom who thinks the only way to discipline is to yell.
Then in the evening we went to a steak house we usually go to while in the Orlando area (yes, we eat out a lot). Almost every time we eat there they try to seat us in the bar which is unacceptable to us (bad experiences). We always laugh about this wondering if we look like drunks. The hostess began to lead us to the bar and so I told her not the bar. No she was leading us to a back room, the only other people there were staff eating their dinners. The room was cold, I hate being cold and also knew service would be sparse back in that room. One of the staff eating in that room told the hostess to seat us elsewhere at about the same time I said we wanted another table. She sat us in a nice area of the dinning room. My question? Was she trying to hide us, do we look that bad or appear to have poor manors that would upset the other guests?

The first time I've typed 2012! Happy New Year!!!
We went out for breakfast today and then stayed home the rest of the day doing odds and ends. Don fixed the night light in the bathroom. I mostly read.
We had four hot air balloons go over our motorhome this AM:
