Great day with great friends!


Kishka and scrapple!
May 14 -  What a great day!  It started with a group breakfast and no one left  There was bacon, ham, scrapple, kishka, potatoes, eggs, fruit and caramel rolls.  Of course conversation followed the meal and once we cleaned up Bill, Paul, Jean and I went down to the river so see the sturgeon jump.  Nope, not this morning!
hungry!
 
Then we went to Live Oak to Wal-mart to pick up Bill’s script and a few other things.  We ended up seeing 2 of the other couples there.  Then we stopped at Dairy Queen, I thought for ice cream but 2 had lunch and 2 had ice cream.  Paul came over to help me with trimming the mud flap and putting the reflectors on it and to see about mounting the new lights I ordered.  Gradually we had the whole group and lots of talking and laughing going on.  The lights are not the same as the ones I have so didn’t do them but we did get the mud flap done.  Bill and I hooked the car up for tomorrow.
 
It's hard to spot a sturgeon when you're texting!
Serious lookout!
Caught the splash!
Everyone was on their own for dinner tonight so we had chicken and dumplings and emptied the container of leftover green beans.  Jean provided some of her leftover dessert then she and Paul and I walked back down to the river and we got to see 3 sturgeon jump.  The first one was huge, over 2 foot and at least 20 pounds.  The second was smaller, about 12-14 pounds.  Then there as a small one.  I tried to get a photo but they’re not in the air that long!  I got the water when one went back into the water. 
  
Everyone was packing up and getting ready to head out in the morning.  It’s been a fun few days and it was nice meeting Bob and Cindy and spending more time with Bruce and Sharon and Tom and Betty and it’s always a good time with Jean and Paul.  The group invited both couples to come camping with their group any time, what a nice gesture!
