Getting settled in

After arriving last Monday and being super tired I was ready to get set up and rest. We want to get an awning build over the shed to provide some shade and cover from wind and rain so Reid worked on finding someone to do that. We didn't have a lot of rain here last winter but lot of wind. They did have a very wet spring and summer this year which we could tell as we drove down cause this area was a lot greener than it was last winter. There's a few that live here full time and we've seen a couple RV's come in this week so people are slowly starting to arrive. We have new neighbors on our left. They moved in a couple of weeks after we left in the spring. They will be living here full time. They are going to be developing the lot to right soon so Lou should be all set up by Thanksgiving. Right now he's lives behind us but once his new place is ready he'll be selling the site behind us. My hope is that with the two buildings on our left and right some of the wind will be blocked this year that we suffered through last year.
We wanted to go to Granny's for lunch one day and it was closed...now we don't know if it was closed for good or the summer or what. They are doing major road construction in front of the cafe so she might have closed for that reason. We're still trying to find out if it will reopen. Another favorite of ours is Luby's and we were very disappointed. They had changed out the menu so our favorite wasn't on it and the veggies weren't up to standards..So we decided we have to try some new restaurants and stop going to the same old ones all the time. On Saturday night when the threat of rain called off our cookout we decided to go to Joe's Crab Shack..We've started our restaurant experiment, it's a new place for us and we love seafood so it was an easy choice and it was very good. Not quiet as good as our most favorite Red Lobster but still good and we'd go again. It's more causal that RL but still had the choices we wanted. What will we try next, who knows.
