Saturday 17 February Day 30

Cold at night again, down to the mid 50’s but it warms fast.  It was 58 F at 09:00 & 64 F by 10:00, that’s a 6 degrees rise in 1 hour, wish it did that at home.  No WVB this morning because they are setting up the pool area for today’s Guest Appreciation Patio Party with music & a restaurant serving food, (El Patron I think, one of the top Mex. restaurants in town).  Gates open at 11:30 bring your own chair.  Some of the WVB enthusiast will play starting at 11:30 or as soon as they can get in, (there is usually a line up for events like this).  Before the party, Sheila went across the road, (by car of course, as we are trying to keep her off her feet as much as possible), to a hairdressing school to get a hair cut, $5:00.  We’ll go up to the pool/patio area when she returns.  She has her bathing suit on & plans on playing WVB; I will just sit in the sun and enjoy the entertainment.  We got set up close to the front & beside the pool Sheila went to play in.  She played for almost 2 hours. The group playing, “Country Nation Live” was 7 members incl a girl singer.  They were a country group but they played mostly stuff I knew and they were very good.  Lots of people were up dancing beside the pool, the biggest numbers were on line dances.  They went from noon to about 2:30. Back at the RV we puttered around & then went out for supper.  We went to the J & M again & I had the prime rib, a big delicious piece incl horseradish & gravy with fries, asparagus, plus a salad & dessert, all for $12.99.  I know that is more in CDN $ but it is still a deal.  Sheila had the Filet Mignon for $8.99.  It was quite small, but it was wrapped in bacon and very tasty.  Her mashed potatoes, country gravy and asparagus were very good also.  Back home we turned on Olympics, saw a results tally and Canada is in 3rd place at the moment based on total medals awarded and the US is only 6^th or 7^th!  When the local TV station puts up the standings they do the first 2 then the US, I think they are embarrassed that Canada with 30 million is in 3rd place ahead of them with over 300 million population We watched Olympics till bed time. Today I confirmed our departure date – Monday Feb 26.
