Blood In The Aisles!

Well, we survived a great Soggy Bottom Weekend, and a couple of days with Marilee.
We then returned to Connie and Jim's on the Tuesday. We have spent the last 8 days relaxing and shopping, clearing and shopping, cleaning and SHOPPING. We have used this time to buy our Christmas presents.
On Sunday it looked like rain and it did rain. I tink about 2 inches in about an hour. The trailer was standing in about 3 inches of water. When the rain stopped the water disappeared within about 2 hours. Florida is built on one giant sand pit, so water just soaks away.
On Monday we went to Beals Outlet. This is because Monday is Senior Day - over 50's get 15% reduction, as well as this Sally had a 20% discount coupon which was burning a hole in her purse. The only problem with Seniors Day is that The Villages, where we shopped, is a purpose built community for retired people, so there are 100,000 retired people who live within 5 miles of Beal's Outlet Store and most of them were there on Monday. There was blood in the aisles! Little old ladies wielding machetes and sweeping people out of the way, using their trolley's like snowplough's. It took 20 minutes to stand in line to get to the check out. Mayhem! Now add in that it is Thanksgiving week and everyone was out getting their food sorted. Driving was crazy, parking was impossible, Walmart was gridlocked, and that was in the food aisle, not the carpark.
We have survived, though my arms are at least 6inches longer from carrying heavy bags.
We have now got to pack this stuff into 2 small suitcases. I talked over, with the checkout lady at Walmart, the possiblility of buying a suitcase at Walmart and returning it to ASDA when we got home. She thought this was a great idea.
So today is Wednesday and we have returned to Sertoma for our last Bluegrass concert for this trip. We have tucked ourselves away nicely on our site and are settling down for a quick nap before going out for a meal tonight.
