A day in the Life

I am sure that when you think about our adventure in the south you probably wonder what we do daily that keeps us occupied so I though I'd show what we do during a typical day. Nothing earth shattering just us doing our thing. After we arise and make coffee, Carmen reads her daily devotional.

I grab my cup of coffee and head out on a walk around the park. That usually takes about 1/2 hour which gets us ready for the day.

If its a nice day then I volunteer to make breakfast outside. Unfortunately, the only thing I can make is bacon and eggs so we don't do this every day.

Before we tuck into our daily supply of grease, a grapefruit is in order. There aren't any left in the park so we had to buy these but at $3.00 for 10 lbs its not too pricey.

A good hearty breakfast prepared by a master chef is a good way to start the day.

Because the kitchen is small and we have limited dishes, they need to be washed after every meal. A couple of plates and some silverware take about 3 minutes to do so its not a major event.

To keep our home spic and span, a few minutes of cleaning daily is all thats needed. Clutter builds quickly in such a small space so it can't be left for once a week like in a house.

While Carmen does her house cleaning, I check for emails and other important stuff.

After getting our chores done, its time for a little exercise. We found a couple of folding bikes for sale at a good price so we go for an hours ride when we can. I'm hoping our asses will toughen up soon. I'm tired of walking like a cowboy after our rides.

In the afternoon, I decide to clean the car. Its not really dirty but gets a coating of sandy dust which can scratch the paint if not removed.

While I'm sweating over the car, Carmen sets herself up in the sun with a drink and works on one of her many crafts. So those of you who were thinking I was a lazy bum playing on the computer while Carmen cleaned can see that it seems to even out. In fact I think she's gotten off easier.

Each day our labours must be put aside at 4PM so that we can meet with like minded people to help solve the problems of the world. I think we are solving world hunger today.

All the talk about hunger made us hungry so I barbecued a T-bone steak for supper. For some reason, T-bones are on sale a lot here so we have them every couple of days. Oh, for a nice hamburger; but, too expensive, so we'll have to stick with T-bones.

What better way to end another hectic day than a relaxing session in the hot tub followed by a swim and shower. Its a tough life, don't you agree?
