May 27 – It was warmer again today when we got up, 50’s and it eventually made it into the 70’s so it was a beautiful day out.  It was rather eerie in the afternoon as by 2:30 there were only 4 campers left including us.  Most were gone by 10.  I guess they were anxious to get home to a warm house to sleep in as there were a lot out in tents for the last few nights.

 

Before it got too warm out Bill went back to his scraping and painting project, which he

Bill hard at work

decided will need 2 coats, and I baked cinnamon flax crackers and Chia Flax crackers.  We will grill out this evening so I don’t have much to do in the way of prepping for dinner.  I did the vacuuming while the crackers baked so the inside housework is done. Then I tackled balancing the checkbook, never a fun thing.  Being gone for the summer doesn’t exclude having to do the normal things we’d have to do at home.

 

 

When Bill got back from painting we watched some TV then he set up the grill.  We ate outside and it was really nice out.  I put Molly’s hut up and she enjoyed watching the birds and smelling the outdoors.  Bill grilled burgers, hot dogs and hotlinks.  We’re good for a couple of meals now.  A couple was riding their bikes while we were grilling and he asked where in Florida we were from.  He knew exactly where Ocoee is.  He used to build homes in Windermere during the 80’s.

 

Kam called as she was at the house getting Bill’s rain jacket to mail and she picked some things from the garden.  I was glad to hear that.  She did say my cantaloupes were full of bug holes, major bummer.  At least she got some collards, tomatoes, a pepper and lettuce.  She’s not into beets so I hope they don’t go to waste.  I pulled up all the plants that were done producing before I left so it wouldn’t turn into a jungle like last year.

 

Then we went for a bike ride.  The other loop has 7 campers and we are down to 4.  One left about 7 and a new one came.  After the ride Bill did the dishes and I went to shower as we want to leave by 8:30 tomorrow.  Bathing in the bathhouse is a ritual for me.  By the time I get all my stuff out and set up, shower, and get my lotions and powder etc on and repack my tote bag, it’s not a quick ordeal at all.

 

We’re looking forward to watching the first episode of the season of “Longmire” tonight.  It takes place in Colorado.
