Because I went to bed so early I was awake at 6, and Bill was up walking Xena, but 6 is not unusual for him. I got up for real around 7:30 and we had our Sunday breakfast today since we’re leaving tomorrow and will eat a quick breakfast. By 10 we were showered and headed to an RV store we were told about. They guy said “1 exit up”, well, once we were on I-10 I wondered which direction was “up” to him. Turns out it must have been east as we went west and no RV store. There’s not a lot here so it was 15 miles to the exit and we decided not to drive another 30 east. Made our stop at Wal-Mart, gassed up, well diesel, dropped a letter at the post office and went home for lunch.
After lunch Bill put some hooks up in the storage compartment to hang cords on and I mounted the rechargeable flashlight in the bedroom that was a retirement gift to Bill. I made meatballs to have for dinner and froze half for another night on the trip. Bill is excited to have meatballs twice within a 3 week period. Xena basked in the
sun, then mostly in the shade under the slide for a couple of hours while we read and visited with the camp host. Can’t leave her out alone as we are very close to the lake and it has alligators in it. They caught one 2 weeks ago that came up on land and Xena is not as fast as she used to be.
The camp host and I discussed my baby cactus and he brought over one of his craft projects that he made and sold and it’s perfect for Karen and David. He was giving it to me to thank me for sharing my ideas with him. It’s so hot and humid out, but we sat under the awning for quite a while and once in a brief while caught a slight breeze. I went to the camp office to use the WiFi and started to hear thunder. I did what I needed to really fast and the camp host came and told me a storm was close.
When I got back to the RV it was getting really dark and Bill was putting our chairs, cactus, & floor mat away. He said there were storm warnings with 60 mph winds and possible hail of 2 inches. I thought he was kidding me but he was serious. He moved the truck under the trees in case of hail and I went ahead and fixed dinner. The storm produced a lot of water and some wind, but no hail and we didn’t tip over! Started working on videos from 2008 travel, oops, boy am I behind!
