We spent these four days still settling in.
We haven't gotten involved in anything in the park as yet as we're still ironing out the kinks at our site. We set up the satellite dish for TV since the cable here is not much more than basic cable. We like having the choice of seventy five channels. As luck would have it we can't get a signal. Bob has tried everything and the neighbors have given advice but still no signal. As a last resort we called Direct TV to have someone come out. They must be busy because they can't get anyone here until Monday the 26th.
Channel 27 on our TV is the RV park station. It lists all the recurring activities and special events going on plus notices for the residents concerning park issues.
Bob is getting an excellent signal on his laptop but I'm not having much luck on the desktop computer at all. We signed up to get the RV Wifi service in hopes that it will improve the computer signal.
We went on another trip to Walmart and on the way out Bob says, "Look over there" and I looked where he was pointing. A car with Delaware plates! I wanted him to stop right then and there so I could meet them but that wasn't in his plans and we kept going. Two nights later I took a walk over to the area and the couple was outside. Our conversation went like this:
Me: I noticed your plates from Delaware, what part?
Her: Newark
Me: So are we. What part of Newark?
Her: Chestnut Hill Road
Me: We were close to 7 & 40.
Her: We're workampers here.
Me: So are we. What department are you in?
Her: Activities
Me: So are we.
Him: What team are you on?
Me: The White Team
Him: So are we.
Now is this a small world or what? Not only do we meet fellow Delawareans but we're on the same team! And his name is Bob too!
There is just about anything you could want to do in this park. Some of the activities are:
Horseshoes Pool League A gym Line dancing A mini-golf course
A pool A Hot tub Library / Computer room Day trips
Ice Cream socials every Sunday Special dinners and potlucks Water Aerobics
Bingo Card night A sewing circle Red Hat Ladies Bridge
Poker night Dominoes Zipper Art Pokeno Bible study and all kinds of golf outings. This is just a partial list. No one has any reason to say there is nothing to do here.
We've met more people in the last few days, enough that we can't keep names straight. Until we look at their names tags that is. That's right, we're all given name tags to wear. Ours haven't arrived yet as they are engraved with our names and the state we are from.
That was pretty much it for these past few days.
