After I walked Danny and had my breakfast this morning, I dug up some more plants to take to CC. I packed up the car and we got here around 12:15. My neighbor, Ida, brought me over another bag of fruits and vegetables. She said she gets them on Friday. I don't know if someone gives them to her or what. She told me she thinks the manager's friend had died. I felt so sad for Janine. Her husband died 4 1/2 years ago. She had met Skip last fall and started to make a new life with him. Now she is alone again.
After I unloaded the car, I took Danny for a walk. I saw Don had come while we were walking back. He helped me bring in another box from the car. He gave me a birthday card and we went to the Inn for lunch. We sat out on the deck and watched the boats and the ducks. The meal was nice and it was great to sit outside but the music was horrid. It was hip hop and rap stuff. I looked at the people in the restaurant and they were seniors and more mature people. I guess the young staff must have selected the music.
We came back to the house and I took my car. We went down to the Sassafras River to look at the marina there. I had hoped the Ice Cream store would be open but not until next week. In NJ, they open March 15 if the weather is warm. This year, they opened April 1st.
On the way back, we stopped at the Apple Barn and I got the mulch for my flowerbeds. They had a good price and it's not far from here. Two ladies, who work there, loaded the mulch in the car. I drove the car across the lawn to the shed. We put on some old clothes, got the wheel barrow and put the mulch in the shed for now as it started to rain. Don went home and I took Danny out for his walk. I met Sue and her husband and we walked together to their home and Danny and I continued.
I heard Mr. Frosty (the ice cream man) coming. He drives to the end of the park and turns around. I figured I'd catch him on the way back. I was able to get my money and I waited with Janine and her daughter, Christine who lives on the other side of me. I got a strawberry sundae and Christine got a chocolate one. Janine got a vanilla and chocolate twist cone. It is soft serve ice cream. I hit the spot. We stood in the rain enjoying our ice cream and talking. A contractor had come and put black top down on Mallard Drive and some of the driveways. Christine and Janine had theirs done. I said I wish I had known; I would have had mine done. Janine said he was coming back to do some more work so I could get mine done. It would make it so much easier for shoveling snow and it will keep a lot of the dirt and debris from being tracked in.
