Shopping and catching up

We used today for settling in and shopping and repairs.  Steve was concerned about a tire on the RV, so a guy came out to change it.  As it turned out, the tire was fine after all, thus saving us a bunch of money.




We took off to catch up on shopping, but first lunch at Wendy's in North Pole where it is always Christmas but where the food and service were not quite up to par.  The decorations, however, were very cute.



We also shopped at Eielson AFB base exchange and commissary, Walmart, and Sam's.  Boy, did it feel good to be able to find what we needed, and boy, were we tired at the end of the day!

We stopped for a drink at the Fairbanks Elk's Club on the way home.  They were having a wake in one half of the room, and by the time it was over we felt that we knew Brian, the deceased.   He was a very nice guy.
