Awake: 5:30am Temp 73 inside each night, we use our air conditioning sleep 6+21 overnight @ Miami, OK.
We heard cheers & laughter before the starting horn honked as the # 3 man, Tommy, got ribbed & teased for going over the hill @ age 50 today. Black balloons & signs referring to his over the hill age were all over his office & door knobs but, there was a good side to this celebration, someone made him a large ham & egg casserole & a cake. Kathy & I were delighted to share the mood & have a slice of the casserole.
According to my list, only a few glitches remain, and shortly after the starting horn honked for the workers, Bubbles brought in the cosmetic strip that concludes our Murphy bed renovation. And he checked the silver vase on the Murphy bed ledge; it too is cemented nicely & that case is closed.
Mid morning, a few more light bulbs were replaced in our living room.
Tracy attached the new European mirrors & adjusted them to my comfort vision as best as we could with the slides still extended.
Next, the cleaning girls: Cheryl & Kathy, spent about an hour making the inside of our home-on-wheels look like new again. We continue to be impressed with all the workers & their dedication to the customer.
Around 10:40 am, Dave the driver, sat in the driver's seat, backed our motorhome out & into a Newell campsite.
Driving the Suzuki, Kathy motored downtown & did some late morning grocery shopping while I continued asking questions of the techs here & there about some of the systems on our motorhome. I also visited with Sydney & we checked out the slow progress on his forthcoming 2010 Newell motorhome.
Late afternoon, Tommy & I previewed the non-chargeable items & the chargeable items, like the rear sway bar. After paying that bill & thanking the service techs & office people for many jobs done well, we are officially glitch free...except for fine-tuning the driver's side mirror that Roger & I do before the quitting horn honks for the day.
Kathy returned from shopping & she & Linda walked outside & talked for over an hour.
Dinner: stuffed peppers & a spinach salad.
Evening movie: "Gigi" with Leslie Caron, Maurice Chevalier, Louis Jourdan, Hermione Gingold, Eva Gabor, etc. Charming turn-of-the-Century musical based on Colette's Story of a French girl who's groomed to be a courtesan. Exquisitely filmed, perfectly cast with memorable Lerner & Loewe score; title tune, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls." Winner of (9) Academy Awards including Best Picture. 1958. Kathy loved this movie; for me, it was just ok as I don't favor musicals.
Lights out: 11:33pm
