We were able to get only one of our scheduled apartment chores done yesterday. The new shower head was put on in the bathroom (nice), but I didn't have my drill to install the new shower curtain rod and the new door locks had a problem with the screws, so we couldn't use them to replace the existing locks.
There was a list of things we still needed to pick up from the fifth wheel, so we went over to the RV storage area and picked those up on the way back to the Outlet Mall to exchange some clothes that Josie bought. That still represents, to me at least, a shopping experience that is rare these days:
We stopped at Wetzel's Pretzels in the mall to have a soft pretzel snack which we haven't had in some time - umm, good!.
It was back to the apartment and we did a little bit more of our homework assignments and then called Costco to order a couple pizzas to pick up and take to visit Debby and her family who are staying at George and Cheryl's timeshare condos on the beach in Oceanside. It was like Christmas shopping at the Costco that is located in Vista. Parking was difficult and the crowd was immense. It has to be one of the busiest in the Costco chain of stores. But, our pizzas were nearly ready and we were out of there and at Debby's by about 5:15 PM.
We had a wonderful visit with them and we took these shots of the sunset:

David was off somewhere watching TV and we had to catch him later, watching TV in the bedroom:
It amazes us to see the changes in the kids as they grow up. It was great seeing them and we look forward to their visit to our apartment sometime down the road.
We returned to the apartment at around 8 PM and were ready for bed shortly after 9 PM.
Today will begin the first real test for us as we will be on duty alone, all day today and tomorrow. We hope it goes smoothly. There is so much to remember that we are bound to forget something, but hope that we do enough of the necessary tasks to get through the week without any disasters. We are confident that we have enough knowledge at this point to successfully handle the job...
