Even though I stayed up until nearly 2:00
this morning trying to get caught up on the Blogs we follow because of the Faster
Internet Connection, I was still wide awake by 8:00 this morning. Surviving
on only 5 Hours sleep was part of my
past life that I don’t want to fall back into. I’d barely gotten breakfast
ready when Kathy came downstairs.
With breakfast out of the way we spent more
leisure time catching up on our morning reading on the Computers before buckling down to do some Chores.
One thing we have wanted to do more of this
year is bicycle riding but have problems with the Weather or we have Appointments.
We rode every street in the Park as well
as riding up to the front Entrance and back. It felt wonderful and even
though we both worked up a bit of a sweat it was worth it. Since it was nearing
noon we had an early lunch before getting into anything else.
Knowing how much we both enjoy eating it, Kevin
gave us some Rhubarb Stalks last
night so Kathy wanted to cook it up today. With Kathy cleaning and me chopping
it didn’t take long for her to get it on the stove.
I collected the trash and moved our Truck
over to the Overflow
Parking Area by the Clubhouse.
There were a number of reasons for doing that. First, I sprayed the driveway
with the Vinegar/Dawn Dish Soap
solution that Kathy found the recipe for On-Line,
to stop the grass from taking over our parking spots.
With the intensity of the Sun it was hard to stay hydrated. My
next chore was to cut our section of Grass.
Even though the Park
provides this service as part of our lease we don’t like the way the Mower misses strips of grass, or the
exposed ground that the Trimmer with
the Weed-Whackers digs up. We are
old school and like a neat and green covered lawn.
Kathy took a break from more of her Food Preparation and came outside to
sit under the Gazebo. There seems to
be a constant breeze blowing from different directions and in the Shade it feels cooler then inside the Trailer.
The next chore was to wash the Bird Droppings off our patio. With this
being mating season and the frantic parents feeding their broods there is a lot
of waste being spread around.
I then set up our Moveable Firepit in the driveway so that the heat it would generate
would not cause any problems to anyone’s RVs.
I then hauled a fair amount of Firewood from
our Rack behind our Garden Shed. I then went over to our
neighbours to invite them over after supper to join us.

With the beautiful Sunshine it seemed everyone was Barbequing this evening so while I grilled a couple of Hamburgers Kathy was busy inside Microwaving a couple Ears of Corn. Everything was ready at
the same time so while Kathy put the Condiments
on our burgers, I cut the Stalk end
off the ears and squeezed them out Silk-Free
onto our plates. We find the Corn tastes
better this way then when it’s boiled and is crispier.

With the Sun setting later we waited to start
the fire until nearly 7:30. With Two
Neighbours that hardly come out to their RVs I moved the Car to one
of those sites before starting the Fire.
Before long Kevin and Lorrie came over and we had a chance to start visiting.
Since Bill and Liz our new neighbours were having a late supper so it was
closer to 8:30 when they arrived.

They were telling us things that Hugh had
told them to do because they have never Camped
let alone staying in a RV. We were
all explaining different things that they need to do as normal chores. We
explained how much different it is when we are “Off the Grid” compared to being in the Park. Can you believe that we were called Extremist? We got to know everyone
better and shared some laughs before finally saying Good Night at 10:00.
Tomorrow we have a special visit to make. Thanks
for following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

That fire pit with the fire sure looks nice.
ReplyDeleteExtremists - well, I guess you could say that but I would say new RVers just don't understand what a good thing that is.
ReplyDeleteWe love corn microwaved. Still crisp! But down south they boil it to mush. Len's daughter and family had a crawfish boil a couple of weeks ago when we were there in TX. They put the corn in the pot to cook at 10:30. They ate at 1. MUSH MUSH MUSH. But this is how they like it. Yuk.
