Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's!

It has been a busy week in San Diego!  Since we have no cell service here at the campground (unless you walk up the hill behind the activities center and sort of stand on one leg lol), so last Monday we ran errands and made lots of phone calls.   Most of the calls had to do with registering the new car in South Dakota, a temporary tag and changing the insurance!  With a used car there was already a license plate and we would have just had to register the car within 30 days.  With a new car, we had to get a temporary tag in order to be able to drive the car.    We had to change the insurance from the Fusion to the Focus.  When the insurance company pulled up the VIN number for our car it wasn't in the system.  This meant a call back to Perry Ford and they confirmed the number I had on my contract was correct.  Finally the insurance entered it manually.  We are keeping fingers crossed that it is all okay!   We will probably find out for sure when South Dakota actually registers the car.

On Tuesday Peggy Price and I had a really nice lunch at this little bakery/deli in La Mesa and then did some shopping.  It was a fun day.

Wednesday Ted and an appointment at Kaiser Physical Therapy.  He is making progress with his exercises which was good news.  He still has a way to go and I generally nag...I mean remind him to do his exercises!  In the afternoon Jeri and I got pedicures, they always feel so good!  Then we grabbed some food and Ted, Stach, Jeri and I headed to the ballpark for a playoff baseball game.  Trent's team lost and really did not play up to their potential.

On Thursday Ted had lunch with his friend David Prime.  After he got home we went over to a self-storage place and rented a 6 x 10 storage space.  We have started packing up stuff we don't need in the RV so we now have a place to put them and it will make the change over from the Fifth Wheel to the Motor Home go more quickly.

Friday night Jeri and Stach made it out to Jamul for dinner at Filippe's.  We had one of their great pizza's!   Jeri is trying to eat gluten-free so she had the antipasto salad.  It was a good dinner and conversation!

Saturday we took five boxes to storage and then headed to the baseball field for another playoff game.  Trent's team got ahead in the beginning and managed to hang on and win 7-6!  Trent pitched the first four innings and did a good job.  He played center field that next three innings.  Now his team will play again on Tuesday!

On Mother's Day we packed five more boxes for storage and then met Peggy Price at Claim Jumpers for a late lunch/early dinner!  The place was jam packed but we found a spot in the lounge and shared Caesar salad, potato cakes and a chicken quesadilla.  We had a good and humorous waitress and a lot of laughs!  We found we had another reason aside from  Mother's Day to celebrate and which was that Peggy had been offered a job by a company that she had wanted to work for.  We had lemon cake to celebrate, any excuse for dessert!

A happy Mother's Day..."Ain't Life Grand!"
