Tuesday 6 Feb Day 19

Weather was a bit cooler this morning but it warms up fast down here, for example it was 62 F at 9:15 but by 9:50 it had warmed up to 68 F.  And that is in the shade.  Sheila had some sniffles this morning so she didn’t go up for WVB, I did.  I returned to the RV to have lunch as we had to be up to the club house by 1 PM to take over from Judy Shaffer on her beginners Bridge class while she is away for a week & a bit.  We are just there to help and answer any questions and give guidance. There are about 5 tables of players.  We play if necessary to make even tables. It runs from 1 PM to about 3:30.  Judy Shafer has someone to bring the cards & pencils etc. 

Today we are going to the Elks Taco Tuesdays with Ray & Wendy but have to get them back to GVP by 5:15 to 5:30 for their Texas Hold-um tournament that runs continuously every Tues.  It’s an elimination thing till it gets down to a winner, (or maybe 2, I don’t know).  We met Ray & Wendy down here and they live in a town home close to Paul & Yvonne in Port Moody.  Ray is retired RCMP.   I am full from the Elks food, 2 tacos, one beef, one chicken, choice of about 5 toppings plus a plate of a nice cooked flavoured rice, (not just plain white rice), and separate beans, for $5.00 and a separate piece of very nice mandarin orange cake iced for $1.00  Back at the RV by 5:30, Sheila dropped me off & went out to find a nail place to get her nails filed down, she finds them too long & they interfere with her hitting the volley ball, (beach balls actually, as regular Volley Balls would be too heavy & cause problems in the pool).   We relaxed in the RV for the evening.
