Dinghy!

Notice that is spelled dinghy and not dingy!  I am not referring to myself but a tow car for our motor home!   We stopped by a Ford dealership last week with no intention of buying a car...yeah right!  We had not done our home work on tow cars but we saw a nice clean little 2011 Ford Fusion.  So we asked some questions of the service department on it being a tow car and was told "it will be fine"...yeah right!  We did our homework and found that we needed a car with a manual transmission or a hybrid to be able to tow the car with all four wheels on the ground.  Fortunately the dealership worked with us and since we had not taken possession of the car yet, we made a new deal on a 2013 Ford Escort with manual transmission.  I think we will be happier with this car and it really isn't too much smaller than the Fusion.  We will get good gas mileage and should not have problems towing it.

We got back down here at Pio Pico on Tuesday.   Trent had a baseball game so we went to it and his team just couldn't do anything right.  It was a tough game for them both in the field and up to bat!    On Thursday night they had another game and it was like a different team showed up.  They were playing really good defense and hitting well and won the game!  On Friday night he played with his Jr. High School Horizon team and they also had a really good outing and won their game.

On Saturday Trent's Rec team had the first game of their playoffs.  It was such a great game and very exciting.  His team was behind for the first 3 innings but went ahead in the fourth inning.  In the sixth inning they tied it up and in the bottom of the sixth, Trent's team pulled ahead again.  Trent pitched the top of the 7th and only needed seven pitches to get the other team out!  It was fun to watch both teams battling!

Saturday evening we had dinner at Season 52 in UTC.  You definitely need to have reservations on the weekends!  We had dinner with one of my former co-workers Bill, and his wife Jany.  It was fun catching up with them, seeing pictures of their little granddaughter and hearing about their upcoming vacation plans.  We really enjoyed the restaurant.  All of the main dishes are under 475 calories and fresh food.  Everything was delicious.  They have a fun dessert idea.  They bring out a tray of shot glasses and they have pecan pie, carrot cake, mousse and more.  They are all $2.50 and they are all 275 calories or less.  We had really good service and enjoyed ourselves.  It's a little pricey but is a fun night out!

Jeri and Stach's granddaughter had her senior prom on Saturday night.  Jeri took Mallorie to her hair place and got her hair and makeup done for her.   Here she is at the shop!

This is Tim and Mallorie ready to leave for dinner and the prom!  She looks so pretty and is even sweeter on the inside than she is beautiful on the outside!  She's turning into a lovely young woman!

Yesterday was a day of rest and laundry and I did get one big box of things packed up for the move, which is still a month away!  But you have to get started some time.  I think we are going to rent storage for two months so we don't have to try and move everything while we are at the dealership exchanging RV's.
