Continued wind and dinner out

Our tree and birdfeeder
Kelly's garden
May 26 -  Bill let me sleep in this morning, but when he left for his first loop check I got up and started breakfast.  I made grits for me, bacon and fruit and when I saw Bill coming back I made him some toast and 2 eggs to go with his bacon and strawberries.  He was pretty happy to get his eggs two days in a row.  He left again to clean another site and while he was gone I planted the herbs I got yesterday and planted the two small planters I brought with me with radishes and lettuce.  I had in my mind that they were bigger so I have plenty of potting soil, so next time I go to town I will get more seed and a couple more planters.  I used the herb containers to plant the last of my basil seed so should have plenty of basil for the summer.  When Bill got back he worked on the getting more of the tar off the front bottom of the RV from the road work areas we had to drive through to get here.  I hung the tiny bird feeder that I brought from our only tree.  I laid out my cactus and banner light but won’t stake them down until the wind dies down.  I should say IF is dies down.  Bill said it will be a LONG summer if it’s like this every day.
We made two loop checks and checked the bathrooms for needed supplies.  We had the worst wind so far this afternoon.  I watched it blow over a grill at the site across from us and I think some campers left due to the wind.
Our picnic table with pavillion and all our "stuff"
We spent most of the afternoon inside because of the wind.  We decided to drive into Ignacio, which is about 20 minutes away, and have dinner.  Kam and Jared got me a gift certificate at Moe’s BBQ for Mother’s Day and we thought we’d try it and check out the casino in town run by the Ute Indian Tribe.  We passed it the first time through so went to The Patio Diner as they had quite a few cars in the parking lot.  The place is nothing fancy but they are known for their homemade pies.  They must have had 10 -12 kinds to choose from.  We both really enjoyed our dinner.  Bill had a steak and I had chicken fried steak and we both came home with leftovers.  I had oreo chocolate pie and Bill had Chocolate caramel.  Will have to go back and try the liver and onions and coconut cream pie!
Back at the camp we drove the loop with Xena and checked the restrooms and turned the reservation tickets on the new campers.  One poor man was trying to put his tent up by himself in the horrible wind.  Bill offered to help him but he said he’d be fine.  He’s working on a road project in the area and will be here a couple of weeks.
Watched TV a while and read.
