Tomfoolery's Florida Adventure: DAY 46: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2019: THE DAY BEFORE THE THANKSGIVING

Up at 7:00 am for a 9:00 exercise class at KCB. On the way to class, I stopped for gas and to the hardware store to pick up more mouse bait. Ugh! Whichever mouse got in last night, took the bait , again. I needed to replace it. I think I am feeding him/ her/ it rather than trying to get rid of it. It’s playing with me or sending its family. The bait is suppose to be eaten, then the critter is supposed to leave looking for water and die someplace and not in the lower compartment of the Coach. I should be happy....at least it is not inside. I would then be a murderer because if I get it, it has NO chance.

Our resort:

I returned to Publix for more potatoes. On Monday, I carefully picked out individual red bliss ones I didn’t get any rotten ones on Monday so I wouldn’t have to return to the grocery store again. So busy! Well, today I pulled out the bag. One was rotten and I can’t tell you how badly it smelled, wreaked.Awful!

So I went to Bayside, the little store on site and bought more. Now I have a huge pot filled with fresh potatoes soaking in water. My mom always makes the best mashed that everyone loves, I don’t t like them but I make them. Probably not as good as hers. I could have pretended and used instant but I couldn’t do that. This crew loves mashed potatoes. So, tomorrow I’ll use lots of butter and cream as they are smashed.

I heard from Lucia and Carolyn. I wished they lived closer so we could see them more often. Every one sounds great and ready for family and Turkey time. I heard from Linda . I am looking forward to meeting her new grandson when I get home. Many texts from home about Turkey Day. So wonderful to hear everyone is happy.

Good news about mom’s eye operation today also. 20-20 vision!!! Doesn’t get better than that.

GERI and I set up her Tiki Hut, ready to go. Tomorrow, Joan and I will set up the table and make it look perfect for a Keysie Thanksgiving Day. 6 of us. We will have a great day Oceanside on this day to give thanks. Well, we give thanks everyday.

At 5:00 I went to Duck Key, Hawks Key to pick up bibs and t shirts for GERI and me.

At 9:00 Thanksgiving Day, the race begins!
