July
27 – Another cold morning! It got down
to 48 last night and took a while to warm up this morning. It’s our last day off and nothing major
planned. It rained hard last night so
I’m sure it was a very cold rain. When
there’s rain here there’s also wind. The
slide toppers were "just a flappin"!
Bill
said he was tired of eggs this morning so I made bacon and fruit
and I finished off my fried grits. He
headed out for his walk and to the mail box.
He also cut the grass where one RV had been for several months so it was
tidy for the next guest. He’s always doing “stuff” for the park on his day off.
I
was cabinet cleaning and while outside to put some things underneath, Bill was
coming back from his walk and hollered that the people behind him in the car
were from Apopka. They were headed to
the trash bins and stopped and we had a nice chat. Silly me, after they drove off I thought we
should see if they are in a camping club or might want to join ours. They will be here til Saturday I think, so
Bill can watch for them and go over and see if they are interested, well, he IS
the club president!
We
spoke with Barb and Ron and ironed out some of our travel plans together for
October. Later I called and made the reservations so we’re good to go now from
September 25 through October 13. We will
talk and work on the rest on our next days off.
We decided to stay longer in 3 places and to do day trips instead of moving
the RV every couple of days. We’re very
excited to be travelling with them since we don’t get to see them that
much.
This
afternoon we took a drive. Bill has
wanted to drive down Red Rock Road
since we got here so we did. We checked
out the Red Rock Campground 5 miles down the road and along the field near it
there was a small herd of antelope but they were too far off the road for a
good photo. Then we drove to Big Springs
to see if the moose and calf might be out, but no luck today. There were a lot of people on the bridge
feeding the fish and the birds. On the
way back we spotted a much larger herd of antelope even further off the road
and they were starting to retreat to the woods.
I’m pretty sure it was due to the storm coming in.
We
got a massive rain again (and wind) and I just knew once again there would be
no grilling. Around 6 it left us behind
and moved on so Bill grilled burgers, chicken and hot links. I made a small bowl of slaw, deviled eggs and
corn on the cob and we were good to go!
Now we’re set for lunch tomorrow and dinner on Saturday.
I
decided I would get my shower and wash my hair so I don’t have to in the
morning for work. Bill and I watched a
Jack Reacher movie and I finished yesterday’s blog and posted it and am now
finishing today’s and posting it. No
late night since we’re working tomorrow.
