Slow day

May 27 – Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day and weekend!

As we were packing up to leave today, a new person was moving in beside us.  Bill chatted him up and he was a volunteer at Maumelle where we visited close by and he was moved here as there’s going to be 6 foot flooding there.  On our drive to Heber Springs we saw an area where there were people filling sand bags.  We are not expecting any high waters in Heber Springs.

Once we arrived and checked in, we discovered someone was in our spot.  We didn’t know the check out time was 4pm.  Geez!  So Bill drove around and found a couple of vacant spots with electric and water and they switched us to one.  It is a pull through and bigger so that was fine.  The process took an hour!  The couple “working” didn’t have a clue and called for a ranger and we’re not sure she knew any better.  Later in checking emails I received confirmation of the new reservation for ONE not 2 nights!  Bill went back up and they told him to come back tomorrow.  We also saw that they have way less volunteers/employees than when we volunteered here.  Half of the spots in the volunteer village were empty.

It was fast and easy to settle in!  Then it was just relax.  We put the awning out and our chairs and sat out and read.  The weather is very nice here.  The park has calmed down as most left in the afternoon so there’s not a lot of hustle and bustle.  The entire parking area was packed when we arrived and boats, pontoons, jet skis everywhere.

I didn’t make Bill get the grill out for just one meal so I used George to grill hot links and Italian sausage.  I made kale salad and 2 ears of corn and we were good to go!  For dessert we had mug brownies.  Then we settled in to read as nothing was coming in on the antenna or Directv.
