Awake: 7:05am     Temp 55     sleep 6+33     sunny     overnight @ San Diego, CA.

My sister Corinne called @ 8:45am. Kathy & I took turns talking; she reports a beautiful white covering around Lilly, PA wherever she looks; about (14--16) inches of snow presently. During my conversation with Corinne, our retired logger neighbor stopped by & wanted to show us the house his wife designed & they built in Oregon. They had  geo-thermal heating & cooling. He gave us a fairly full description of his house. Since then, they have downsized considerably. Dick & his wife are leaving for Yuma, AZ on Tuesday.

Next time we talk with my sister Corinne, I'll make up for the lost time I didn't have this time.

Meanwhile, Kathy did (3) more loads of laundry while I read some in our books we ordered for ourselves for Christmas.

K & I left @ 12:30ish, drove over to the campground office & reserved a different campsite for Wednesday. This campground has a (30) day maximum stay; the guests & the RV must leave the property for (24) hrs before returning for a new stay. NO exceptions.

Our next door neighbor, Bill, has been living in his motorhome for (5) yrs now in this campground. Every month he moves out for (24) hrs & then moves back in. Tuesday is our day for moving out & staying out for (24) hrs.

We signed up for another month because we like this climate & we like hanging out with Larry & Sallie; plus there are plenty of interesting things to see & do.

Early afternoon K & I motored across town to Fry's Electronics on Stonecrest Blvd. 1^st of all, we bought an extra air filter for our Eureka Optima vacuum cleaner, & then a few ink cartridges for our Canon printer. After that, K & I gave ourselves an hour to go our separate ways to look @ the things we are most interested in.

Fry's has so many things of interest, I could have spent several hrs; maybe next time.      

 Dinner: sausage, fried onions & peppers.

Evening movie: "Up the Down Staircase" with Sandy Dennis, Patrick Bedford, Eileen Heckart, Ruth White, Jean Stapleton, Sorrell Booke, etc. Film version of Bel Kaufman's bestseller about N.Y.C. public schools is too slickly handled to be taken seriously, but generally entertaining. 1967. Entertaining it was. Our teacher Katrina should watch this one sometime.

Lights out: 12:14am.
