Good day for us Not for the colts

This afternoon we had a potluck get together with some people we met here. One couple deep fried catfish chunks. Boy was it good. Everybody brought some dishes to pass. Thelma made agrautin potatoes. They were really good. We also had baked beans apple salad macaroni salad cauliflower with italian dressing on it. We baked some valentine cookies this morning to take. Oh they deep fried some biscuts like we do when we do a turkey. We sat around for about 4 hrs or so. Then decided it was time to let Eli out. We took him and went into town to get a paper. Usually we get it when we go out for breakfast but since we were going to have the potluck just ate ceral here. Forgot about the paper. Only get it on Sundays. The news down here doesn't interest me that much. Well the colts didn't make it. When Manning threw the interception that did it. We changed the station. Not sure if they thought they had it in the bag or if NO wanted it more. Oh well always next year. Thelma saysthey pay them too much. Here is a picture of part of the group Thats about it for tonight. We plan to go over to Mobile tomorrow and see the ship. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Laid back day

About the only thing we did today was take a drive over to orange beach. Wanted to find the place that has dolphin trips. We found the place just have to have a nice day. This evening we went to the Lutheran church here in GS. If I had to go to this church every week I would find a different one real quick. They are not friendly at all. We thought about going to one of the other ones. One has a service at 3:00 on Sat Afternoon. That is too early I think. Well We only have a few more weeks till we go to Fl. Guess that's about it for tonight. Later All Ron Thelma and Eli

Here is a video I took with the camera. Short but you get the idea of the wind and waves.

I went up to the activeities center to upload the video and some other pictures There are a few new ones in the Gulf Shores Album. We did not do much today. Went to Walmart and Post office to mail some cards. Alsot went to another grocery in GS. They had oranges on sale. Can't believe two weeks are gone here already. Have three more to go and then we leave. We need to do some sightseeing here pretty quick. I think maybe Monday we will go to the Alabama Battleship. At least that is the plan. They are forcasting rain on Tues. We had alomost 2 inches last night. It was pretty windy at first but then died down and just rained. That's about it for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Another windy night

Just got home a little while ago from Longhorn Steakhouse. It was good but would rather go to Logans where I can get peanuts. This morning we went over to the nature center and watched a video on Hurricane Ivan which hit here in Sept of 2004. It was real interesting. Next week they are going to show a slide show at the acivities building on the Ivan. That should be neat also. This afternoon we went to the Museam in Gulf Shores and looked at some of the clippings and newspaper write ups. They also had a videao running of Katrina. They did not hit here. They also have one of Ivan but the lady that runs the place was on the phone and never came in to change it. Oh forgot that this morning after the video we went to the beach and I walked down and shot some video with my camera. I can shoot 20 minutes of video with this camera. I have the video on the puter but have to upload. Need wifi to tdo that. Maybe tomorrow. See what it is like in the morning. We are expecting a lot of rain. 2-4 in. Tomorrow might be a lazy day. Guess I don't know much more now. Later all. Ron Thelma and Eli

We get our mail at General Delivery. We are having our mail Fowarded to Gary and then he calls when we get some and we deceide what to send. he then sends it to Gulf Shores general delivery

Another day gone

Today we went to the post office and picked up mail. Gary had sent it last Sat. Not sure when it arrived. Had a bunch of tax stuff so got started on that. Still neeed some sent. Then we stopped at walmart for some fuel and groceries. The truck eats too you know. The Mobile Suites is a brand of trailer that is a higher class than the Montana. Do a search for them on google. The Medium Duty freightliner is between a pickup and big semi. International makes a chassis that a guy in Texas uses for the same thing. The fort we went to was Fort Morgan. There is a couple of Forts over in Mobile that we want to see. Hope we don't run out of time. This evening we went and played bingo. Every body brings a $1.00 gift and then you can play. Thelma got a package of chips. We are expecting 3-4 inches of rain tonight. Might need a pontoon Tomorrow. We are going to the nature center tomorrow morning to see a video on the Hurricane Ivan that came through here. Should be interesting. Thats about it for tonight Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Visiting Day

This afternoon we went to OCharleys and met a couple of people from the MOC. Montana owners. We had a very good visit. Spent about 2 1/2 hrs there. Really enjoyable. We left there and stopped at the campground where one of the couples is staying. They have a Mobile Suite trailer that they pull with a Freightliner MDT. Really nice unit. The trailer is bueatiful. She had it built the way she wanted. It is laid out real neat. We stayed there for about half an hour and then came back here to let the boy out. He was glad to see us. We had an excellent meal. Didn't have peanuts though. Think that is a Logans Steak house thing. Well that's about it for tonight. Tomorrow is another day. We need to go to the Post Office and try and get our mail. Don't know if it has arrived yet or not. Gary sent it on Sat. Hope it gets here.
Later All Ron Thelma and Eli

Laundry Day

This morning we went to Mickey D's and had breakfast. Then went to the laundromat. Think it took about 2 hrs. It was pretty crowded when we got there. It was thinning out when we left. A lot of northerner's in there. Talked to some people from Dayton,Ohio. I went this afternoon to the nature center at the park and uploaded the pictures I have taken so far. When you go to the site look for the gulf shore one also uploaded is Fort Morgan. Hope to get some more in soon. The weather is just not cooperating. Tomorrow we are meeting some Montana owners for lunch at O'Charleys in Foley. Not sure what else we will do. Not much else new.
