Today has been very, very, hot.  Our outdoor temperature gauge read 104 degrees.  The day started very nice with a three mile round trip walk to the IHOP.  That is 1.5 miles uphill and 1.5 miles downhill.  We had a wonderful breakfast with more calories than we burned up.  The area is on the outskirts of Brandon so we avoided all the glitz and crowds---saving that for tomorrow.  We stopped by a little shop looking for postcards.  The lady was very nice, complimented the blouse I was wearing, asked us where we were from.  I thought 'what a friendly person'.  We noticed a sign for tickets and we joking asked "can we buy tickets from you without having to buy a time share".  She told us that people always ask that and that is why they started selling tickets. She went on and on about how terrible the timeshares were and how frustrated people get.  So we tried to buy two tickets for a show.  She started looking up the show and then...by the way....there is a short presentation about a new concept....how long will you be here....Chris walked out the door leaving me behind with the woman that would not let me go.  She went from southern sweet to a feeding frenzy in less than a minute.  I just kept easing my way to the door with her offering me $150 and discount tickets.  This place is were we got started in our timeshare, on though  we use it, I am done purchasing.  We did escape this time. 
We were not able to sit outside at all the rest of the day due to the heat.  I have been working on setting up our computer.  The new windows 8 or 8.1 on a touch screen is driving me crazy.  nothing works the same as a normal computer.
We went for a walk after dinner and were going to take some pictures but I stepped on a rock the wrong way and fell to the ground.  I was lucky enough to catch all of my weight on my knees and my hands.  Going down all I could think of was my friend Mille who fell while walking.  I kept my head up and only my nose touched the ground.  My knee is in pain but no permanent damage.  Of course, I fell on the path next to some people standing outside off there MH.  I acted like everything was ok and continued our walk.  Cut it short at one mile. 
We have big plans for tomorrow.  We will go to a show at 10:00 am.  Yes, you read that correctly.  We will see the Celtic Men and Women.  They are only here for two weeks.  They are not listed on any show advertisements but we saw a sign on the way to breakfast.  We both want to see them so that is good.  Then we will go to lunch at the Olive Garden, compliments of Ruth who gave us a gift card at Chris' retirement lunch.  After lunch I will do laundry while Chris goes to the military museum.  Busy Day!  Hopefully we will get some pictures.  I asked Chris why he did not take a picture of me on the trail when I fell? 
BTY we have found the cheapest gas ever....$3.05   unbelievable.
Peace to my friends,  Barbara
