Its the morning after the mid elections, and Lou is flying high. For a Canadian girl she sure does get a kick out of American Politics. With all the hoot and hollering going on last night I'm still nor really sure who she is rooting for. Never the less for the rest of us this vacation continues. Supper last night was superfluously prepared chicken, with a side dish of almonds seasoned green beans. Who would have thought it that a dutch boy would like green beans. Entertainment for the evening was politics interrupted by Dancing with the Stars. A shopping trip yesterday afternoon has put the kabosh to bring my personal laptop back on line. Its appears that a replacement power adapter is going to cost me at least $75.00. Quick decision was made that that amount of money could be better spent on buying an itouch, and I'll forfeit the idea of posting pictures.. Surprisingly these devices are almost the same price as back home. The cheapest that I've seen is $289.00 at Walmart. Sales tax appears to be 8% in this state, add the dollar difference, and your back to $218.00 in Canada.
I became aware this morning from an email that the folks back home are freezing. So sad. The beach here is clean , the waves keep rolling, and were basking in the sun.
Come a little further south and you can spend the winter(?) with us. No snow or really cold weather to worry about. Our next trip to SC will be to Gaffney next spring to get maintenance done for our 2011 caravan adventures (with you in the Southwest).
ReplyDeleteHi Papa, I can't believe how much a cord for your lap top would cost. Do you want us to look around the house for the original one? One of the teachers said there were Ipod touches for sale (16m) for $99 at local hardware store. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteI will keep you posted if I hear anything else
