FRIDAY WITH SOME SUN
Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2010 6:59 amGOOD MORNING TO ALL!
A cool, but sunny, morning, so far, with the sunrise burning off the morning mist again. It's about 57 degrees. Supposed to shower again later, however. I hope I get to finish that mowing after the morning dew dries off and before the afternoon showers!
I see that some friends of mine are staying for another week at their campground.....and now I am wondering if I should try to haul my trailer there and spend some days, also. But the Ruckus is almost here, and I am nervous about having everything done. Shall I---shan't I??? And I, too, want to spend some nights at the leanto, while it's warm. This retirement stuff is confusing with so many options! I will certainly, however, make a trip to visit with my truck one day early next week, as I will be going back to the RV dealer to pick up my 30 amp outside plug-in I had to order. I believe I would not be comfortable lolling at a campsite when I know I have a lot to do here, but a visit would be great! If I wait until next Tuesday or Wednesday, when that electrical thing should arrive, I can do two things in one trip.
The thing that many do not realize is how much I love camping right here on my own campsites....I can camp on a pond which is beautiful, and yet still be able to get some work done each day on the property. I need to cut saplings with a brush saw, stain the outside of my house, get stuff all set up for the GTG, mow some more, get in supplies for food for the Ruckus, and much more. And, best of all, it costs me nothing to camp here! I hope that Cedar and Kathy and anyone else know that they are more than welcome to camp right here, too....I think Kath could park at the pond with no problem, as I watched her manoever that trailer around last year! And I know they could turn it around to come back up here, too.
Richard-the Roofer might come here early, and I haven't heard lately from anyone else. Guess I'd better bump the GTG thread back up to the top so it will turn yellow and people will click on it!
Was chatting with my granddaughter all morning---she is the daughter of my first child I gave up for adoption in 1965. She has two kids now, and it's wonderful that I get to know her at last. The Facebook chat thing is the best feature of it, as far as I'm concerned.
Well, now-----my wireless zapper fence that I have set up surrounding this trailer just got its first major test! Molly was outside with her zapper collar on, saw a whitetail deer, ran, full-speed after it, got zapped, actually stopped in her tracks! I turned the fence off, and she slunk back home without continuing the chase! It is set on its lowest zap level, too, as she is so frightened of getting zapped.....I have always thought if a deer came by, she would be gone until she dropped of a heart attack somewhere! I am elated that I bought this a couple of years ago now! That was the ultimate test!
Ok, after that excitement, I need to get another cup of coffee and get moving here. The sky is no longer clear and sunny but overcast and grey. Oh well...never lack of stuff to do.
Dayspring is alone again, but sounding not quite as lonely as she thought she might be! Glad your daughters helped you over a difficult time, and gave a hand with cleaning out the dreaded 'stuff!'
Sigh----off I go. Stop in and let us know what's going on elsewhere. Later........

But I tend to think its just soooo hot. I finally got out and washed my car, which is usually not a bad job, or tiring either. I was pooped and wasn't quite sure I could finish it. Its a small car !!! And I am very stubborn. Its done, but I was exhausted and probably won't amount to much the rest of the day, which is not good. Nothing outside, temp is going to be near 100 here in the mts and heat index higher, so inside in the A/C for the rest of the day for me. 
What was I thinking?!?
