Family Food, and Friends

Family, Friends and Food

Friday May 17, 2024

We had breakfast and later Jim had a knock on the door from Bill. He had suggested we go to meet them at the Quentin Tavern tonight for dinner.

 We spent the morning talking about  doing just that tonight after we visit, and say good night to his mom.

 Then Jim went out to get the golf cart out. He started the truck to put air in all 4 tires of the golf cart.

As soon as he goes outside someone's talks to him about the truck, lol. One guy I looked out and saw, came back again and bought one of his PVC pipe flag poles . As we were also getting our grass cut today too . You can see our flag like one he just sold.

Then he came in for lunch later. After lunch we went to the rehab center to see his mom. We had a great visit and Shannon was there with one of the dogs she watches, Bailey. Apparently she stays close to his mom all the time at the house. 

After they left I worked on my blog, there internet was great.

 We left just after 4:30 and went to meet Bill and Marilyn Dobbs at the Quentin Tavern Restaurant.

They are the couple we met two seasons ago in Orlando with our twin Lifestyle fifth wheel. Bills truck,

Beautiful flowers outside 

It's exactly like ours on the inside, pretty much but a different paint job. Here's a picture of it as we passed by it. 

We had a great meal, 

 and Marilyn and I brought leftovers home. 

Jim's reuberger, which is a burger in a Reuben with his fries. Next to that I had a baked potato with pulled pork and cheese little barbecue sauce. Marilyn's was behind mine with pasta with shrimp and crab. Bill had a similar pasta dish with seafood and bacon on top.

At the last minute, I decided, I did want dessert. 

I remembered the nursing home I used to work at, a co-worker, Joy made the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for this restaurant.

 They are awesome so I ordered a piece of each planning on sharing with Jim, and taking some home for tomorrow. Marilyn only wanted a taste of the carrot cake, said she doesn't like peanut butter. LOL I love it so much. I had a cup of decaf with it, it was so delish.

 We walked them out and said our goodbyes, " see you at home ", I always say when we're in the same Campground With Friends we go out with.

Then we stopped to get firewood as they sell it at many locations near the campground here at Thousand Trails Hershey. 

Saw some geese on the way back to our site with a whole bunch of babies. 

Jim and I took a golf cart ride went up to see Dennis at the guard shack. Wanted to get a golf cart pass, and chatted with him a bit. 

Beautiful rhododendrons here.

We wanted to hit the food truck it was cheesesteaks today, but we got back after they were just leaving. Jim wanted to get one for tomorrow.

 Then we continued our golf cart ride and saw this cool sign on the back of a Montana. It really fits our life now.

 Then we came home and Jim had a campfire. At least now we have a place to store some firewood, with the rack we got from Dennis for the back of the HGT. Jim doesn't have to buy it and burn it. Although we don't need to take any upstate when we leave here, in 3 weeks. As we'll be on 90 Acres of Mountain Land in upstate.

Pennsylvania. I watch some of my shows while Jim injoyed his fire.

This am we had breakfast and lunch,  Jim grilled a couple of burgers. Under the awning because we had quite a bit of rain again today. It was a gentle rain though.

Three ladies in my NoBS Accountability group went to in person camp in Tennessee this week. It is all about body image.

Cindy,  cut out picture of Corinne, Linda and Sandra

Later we went to see his mom in rehab.

 Then on the way home we stopped at Weis Market, another local grocery store . First we got gas in the car and then I went in by myself, for about an hour.

Arrived home, I ate my leftover potato with pork for dinner, and Jim grilled  a steak outside on the Ninja. He had the leftover mashed potatoes with spinach, bacon, and onion as a side. Then we watch some TV.

I guess you could say today we sort of took the day off. After the normal morning and afternoon routine. 

Saw the weather report today.

We said hi to Dennis as he had a day fire and a drink on his day off.

 Then we went to Redner's local grocery store for a few things and stopped and got beer on the way home. 

They had invited us over for happy hour at 4:00. I put a few things away and grabbed some crackers and a cheese ball I got at the store. 

We went over. She had a lovely array of snacks and shrimp and dips.

Jacqueline, there neighbor was already there when we arrived, since we didn't get there till about 5ish. 

We had a lovely evening together and stayed till about 7:30,  8:00. 

We took a little golf cart ride before we went in for the night. Watched another Naked and Afraid was a new one Sunday nights.
