COMFY TUESDAY SO FAR
Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2010 7:19 amGOOD MORNING ALL!
(Please forgive the references to people you might not know, as, to save time, and to try to get morning coffee posts in both forums I belong to, I just copy and paste the info. Sorry about that!)
I drove home from the doctor's visit and grocery shopping trip yesterday in absolutely torrential rains....could just barely see to drive in a couple of instances. When I got back here, I had to sit in the truck for a few minutes while the downpour and lightning abated. Richard was here and all set up, awning out, catching rain for washing in his huge bucket! After that shower passed, however, the rest of the evening was fine weather----warmer than it had been, and no more rain so the standing water has all soaked in. It's a very comfy 72 degrees here now.
I made a supper and arrival food for the campers as Richard and Joe chatted outside Richard's camper while Joe sawed and split some firewood that had been rescued from the road work of last summer. It made a nice pile of fire logs. Then Mandy got back from her house north of here with her two horse-sized dogs, we had supper, and settled down to a nice jam session on guitars and fiddles. Richard's really been working on his shyness about singing and playing, and he's REALLY good now! We were so involved we missed the chat time altogether---by the time I checked in no one was home. Sorry about that...will try to do better tonight!
I had three skin lesions removed yesterday----2 frozen with nitrous oxide, and one scooped out and sent for analysis. A piece of cake for all---I love that skin doc! As I had forgotten to eat the pizza I warmed for breakfast, I also had my blood drawn while I was there. (I didn't mention to them that I did have coffee in the morning.) Shopping was a madhouse, as it was lacrosse tournament days in the local towns----people from all over visiting and shopping. This was hot on the heels of Rugby Weekend of this past one. I came home and made chicken-noodle salad for those who are hungry after traveling. Mandy brought tons of fresh vegies from the St. Lawence Valley area, and Richard brought a bunch of fresh VT corn!
Pete will be on the road today, and I can't wait to see him tomorrow! Connie should arrive tomorrow, too, if I remember correctly. Carol will arrive Thursday afternoon, as will Cedar and Kath. Kevin could show at any time! I never heard back from Jack, so have no idea what's up with him lately. We will miss Carolyn (Sunshine Cruiser) and Billy, too, who were originally scheduled to come, but had to cancel. The weather is for staggered showers, some of which could be not nice, but, by Thursday night, things are predicted to calm down and cool down again for a very nice weekend! YAY! Whatever happens, we will have a good time, you can bet on that!
As for today----I guess I'll get the banner hung up in the shelter, and try to get some help moving a couple of grills into there so we can fire them up for burgers and dogs, or whatever. Maybe one will be enough to move out there from the party barn, as I also have one on my deck and a mini one here on my trailer outside table. Other than that. this job is done! Nothing to do but enjoy from now on!
Happy Tuesday to us all, and I hope those on the road have safe travels.

He mowed yesterday evening too, and it looks so nice out there this morning, so I timed my little job, just right.
