September 21 – It was a brisk 47 out when we got up this morning! Brr! I had to hunt for some comfortable long pants and t-shirt for today. Luckily I had one pair of jersey pants and a long sleeve t-shirt.
After breakfast I called the
office to see if we could possibly change sites to a leveler one. Bill 
View from our front window
had scoped out 2 further around our loop
but neither was available for our remaining 2 nights. He suggested another site in the same area so
we put our jackets on and walked around to the site. It was a perfect site but the truck would
have no where to park. Bill wasn’t
excited about leaving it in the parking lot and not being able to keep an eye
on it. We have a lot of “stuff” in the
back and after the break in last year when we were stuck in a motel he wants it
where we can see or hear, hopefully. I called
and told the ranger thanks but we didn’t want to park the truck in the
lot. So we will be angled for 2 more
nights.
We walked down to the lake and
watched a couple of older guys with a new pop up kind of boat and they took
hours before they eventually launched it fishing. There were other boats on the water and an
older couple and their adult son that went swimming. They took a thermometer and said it 
Our spot
was 76 in
the water this morning and they went right in and stayed well over an
hour. The kids were all gone back to
school so it was adults only hanging around today. A guy looked like he was training his dog to
fetch ducks for his duck hunting trips.
That dog loved chasing after that stuffed duck!
After lunch Bill took his chair out and read while I worked on catching up on the blog and journals. Then I took a break and went out to join him. There was a parking space beside us at the bathhouse that we sat in until the person came to clean it so we moved towards the lake to a little grassy corner in the sun. Bill went in first and I stayed until I finished my latest Hannah Swenson murder mystery.
For dinner I made a good old southern meal of salt cured ham, biscuits, corn on the cob and squash. All that was missing was a homemade cobbler. It was delicious! The only thing better would have been some fresh cooked collard greens!
