Boy, does that sound good! If Parksdale is on for Wednesday, what are you all doing tomorrow? And no pictures yet? Am I going to have to go there and take some myself? (Where's Liz and ner camera when you need her? Oh, yeah, in Baja. )

I know that Donna and Margie were both running around between raindrops today taking pictures. Was hoping to see some of them tonight.
I found my camera just before our pot luck dinner; got just a couple of very poor shots before battery died. Everyone moving to point think I got mostly back shots Will try to do much better tomorrow, including "the big secret". If there had been any other photos posted, I would not have shared these because they are so poor.
BTW: We added two more today with arrival of Annetta and Carol. With the rain and our growing numbers, we decided to move dinner to the pavilion so as not to track up Nan's place.
Gathering for dinner, yes, there was wine

That is Louise at left, Lisa and Nan's backs, Soos sleeve

Fuzzy shot, we are waiting for Linda and Sandy to arrive

Left to right: Nan, Carol, Louise,Lisa's back again (dark blue shirt), Soos (green shirt), Donna, her sister and Annetta

After eating, we moved to the other end of the room and Roger built a nice fire for us

Tuesday update ...

Slept late and wandered down to Nan's site where Margie continued her pancake tradition. If that were not enough, she also served Mimosas and the best bacon!

A group headed out for the grocery and/or the discount awning fabric store. Others were biking, hiking, kayaking and resting. Great weather all day.

Baking a batch of ravioli lasagna and heating leftover Chicken Alfredo for tonight's potluck. Expect we will have another nice campfire this evening.

The Campground Host came around and left a notice about free coffee and donuts tomorrow with the park rangers.

Discount awning fabric store? I'd love to know the name of it and where it is! Today is such a gorgeous day for you all. Enjoy the rest of it!

[bluepinecones]

Lopo- The trip to discount sunscreen fabric store is planned for Thursday, I think. I don't know name/address but about an hour drive from here. If I can reach Nan, will ask her to post that info. I'm just catching a ride over.

Tomorrow is flea market and strawberry day for some of us.

If Internet cooperates, I'll be back with a couple of photos from breakfast this morning.

Donna is trying to get her blog updated with photos; think Margie is working on some also.

[grammynmaggie]

I got a quick post on my blog...so you can take a look
hope to get more on later with site pix and our trip
to plant city tomorrow...

[VickieP]

Thanks for the blog update & pics!

[bluepinecones]

Thanks, Donna for the blog post.
Here are a few photos from breakfast and maybe dinner. Sorry ladies for poor quality/composition, been so long since I used camera think I forgot how.
We did finally have a beautiful sunny, warm day. And what a better way to start than breakfast outside with friends. We gathered at Nan's and Margie cooked; think Louise provided liquid refreshments.
I did not get inside today for photos but promise I will before long, but the "big secret' that already leaked out on FB is that Nan has a spectacular new 35' Class A. Here she is beside it this morning


CArol, Lisa, and Nan enjoying pancakes


Visiting after breakfast: Lisa, Linda, Sandy, Carol,Margie, Nan, Soos


Margie wanted to meet the pretty Huskies (there were 3, with ice blue eyes. And as you can see, the dog did not want his photo taken)


Annetta's little dog travels in style. Lisa, Nan, CArol, Annette


And from tonight, here is Carol checking out whats for dinner (it was all good)



If we don't get rained out tomorrow (or too cold) plans are flea market and strawberries in Plant City.
