A perfect day

With the cold weather we have been having, I decided I needed to get the boat winterized sooner rather than later - even if it meant taking off from work. On Monday night, we drove to the condo and went straight to Cafe Sabor. The food was wonderful, as always. As we drove into the condo parking lot, we noticed our friends, the Ivie's, were at their condo. We went over for a hug and spent an hour visiting.

The next day we met Nate, from Epic Recreation. He both picked up and delivered the boat so we didn't need to back it. We didn't even need to take a car with a trailer hitch. Merlene caught us by the garage and invited us to lunch at t heir condo later.

The weather was amazing for October. We took a bike ride to the golf course. We read for a while, went to lunch, and met Nate so he could return the boat. So slick!

We learned something from Ivie's that made my day. The high density condo development next door to our condo is officially doomed. The company in charge of it is in major debt and won't be allowed to continue. YEAH! It was such a disaster - three and four floor condos, underground parking, shopping, restaurants, pools, tennis - just wall to wall people. Insufficient parking, and no way to accommodate boat trailers. Plus, those with condos on the mountain would use the area's beach front. I was so worried it would become a ghetto. Hopefully, the next buyers will have a better plan for developing the area.

On the way home, the leaves were brilliant. A perfect day.
