What a bueatiful day

Today was a bueatiful day. We deceided to go to the Zoo. It is not a real big zoo but it was neat. They had quite a few animals. Tiger's lion's bear's leapord's I am trying to upload two pictures. The rest are on the picassa web site We had a good day for once. The weather is supposed to be good tomorrow so think we are going to another fort at DAuphin Island. It is from the cival war era.

Just went to church and came to Mickey Ds to use the wifi. When I want to upload pictures I use the wifi somewhere. Thats about it for tonight Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Missed yesterday

I missed doing the post last night. Watched to muck Oliympics I guess. I check my email and then went to bed.

Yesterday Eli got groomed so Thelma and I did some shopping and sightseeing. We drove down close to the Fl line. There is a bridge there where underneath people were fishing. This bird was waiting for somebody to give him something to eat. A lady there told me he was on welfare cause he is always begging. I took quite a few of him. Not sure what he is. I don't know my birds that well. We finally picked up Eli about noon. He really looked good. She did a good job on him. He was happy to see us. What was really funny was this lady had a Standard Black and one White poodle just like Julia who does Eli in Ft Wayne does. What are the chances of that. In the afternoon we went to the PO to pick up our mail but it wasn't there yet. So have to pick it up on Mon They do not do General Delivery on Sat. And only after 1:30 during the week. We are waiting on the guy to come look at the holding tank. He called yesterday and is supposed to come out this morning and look at it and see what is wrong. Hope he gets here. That's about it for now If anything interesting happens will post this evening. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

No Fixey

Well the guy did not show up today. I finally got ahold of somebody and he told me the guy was sick. Did not call or anything. Boy what a bunch of idiots. They don't seem to care down here. So Monday he is coming out. We sat around all day waiting. Could have done something as it was pretty nice out. One of the best we have had. Tomorrow Eli gets groomed so think after that we might just go to the Zoo here. I am anxious to see it. I remember animal planet doing a show on the little zoo that could when Ivan hit here. They moved the animals quite a way inland if I remember right. If the weather is nice Sat we will do something else. Not sure what yet. I want to do the dolphin tour and try to get to the USS Alabama. They did some more burning here today. Mostly where they were yesterday. Evidently they did not get a good burn. Sure makes it smoky. Guess that's about it for tonight. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Today was and interesting day. This morning as we were leaving the campground there was some firetrucks and grass fire buggies. They were getting ready for a controlled burn. I took a few pictures of the smoke. It really smelled. We went into town and had doughnuts at daylight donut shop. Then went to WalMart. We then came back and got ready for the potluck. It was good. Brats and Hot dogs with Baked Beans Potato salad Mac and Cheese chips Veggie tray. We ate good. After that we went to the laundry and did the weekly thing. This evening we played bingo with the bunch. One couple is leaving Fri morning We will miss them. We have enjoyed to friendship with the people down here. We might come back here next year for a month before moving to Texas. That is a long way away. Tomorrow the guy comes to look at the holding tank. About a week and half ago Thelma was taking a shower and said the water wasn't going down. I hadn't emptied the grey tank for a while so it was too full. When I went out to empty it water was running out the bottom. So something is leaking. Have just been letting it run out into drain since we have full hookups. That is nice. Guess that is for tonight. Later all Ron Thelma and Eli

Fat Tuesday parades

Today was parade day. We went this morning to the one in Gulf Shores and Then stopped at the trailer and let Eli out. Then on to Orange Beach for their parade. After that stopped and picked up Eli and went to the Boat parade That was not very good. Talked to someone there where we were parked and he said it was too cold. It was. We still got a few beads there. We got a whole slew of them in GS parade. Here is the link to the pictures I took today. Also the ones from last Sat night are there too . Look for the Mardi Gras night time album. This is a big deal down here. The kids get out of school for the parades. Using Mc Ds wifi to upload pictures and do blog. Guess that's about it for tonight. Tomorrow we are having a potluck with some friends One couple is leaving this weekend. They are from Mo. Not sure if they are heading back or just moving on. Later Ron Thelma and Eli

Sunny day

Today was a sunny afternoon. It had rained most of the night and into the early morning. We got up and went to Cracker Barrel for bkfast. The food was good but the service was terrible. We had to ask one of the other waitress' to get us some jelly. Ours had disappeared. I just hate that and she was not very friendly or plentifull with the coffee. Now that will not get you a very big tip. I should have said something when we left but they never asked how it was. On the way back I stopped and got some fuel as it was cheaper up at foley than it is in GS. We then stopped at Walgreens and picked up some valentines candy. It was 50% off. Thats my kinda price. Thelma bought us some sweatshirts that say Gulf Shores on them. We came home and made some calls. I finaly have someone to come out and look at my grey holding tank. Thurs. Thelma made and apppointment to have Eli groomed Fri. He is starting to smell like dog. Can't figure that out. Tomorrow are the parades so need to get up early in the morning and go into GS> We will park at the grocery lot and watch it from there. We will eat breakfast at the BK. We will go in about 8:00 If you don't get there early you can't get front row seats. Course you stand when the parade starts so you can catch the beads etc. Guess that's about it for tonight Later

It has finally gotten sunny down here. We went to the tanger outlet mall today. I got a couple of pair of shoes bought one got one half price One is a dress type the other is walking shoe. I will go over later to the activities center and upload the pictures from the parade last night. We have two more next Tuesday One in Gulf Shores the other in Orange beach where we were last night. Then later in the afternoon is a boat parade on the waterway. Will just get pictures for that one. Have the race on but it is stopped for repair to the track. We are expecting rain tonight. They have a weather advisory for tonight on TV. Not sure for what. Well That is about it for today. Unless something else happens Later Ron Thelma and Eli
