Today we spent the day cleaning, getting ready for the groups coming in for the weekend. Mark and I mopped the dining hall and I mopped the Fallow meeting area. We also "spruced up" the outside areas. I burned up two tank fulls of gas in the leaf blower, just getting leaves of porches/decks and away from the immediate area of the buildings.
Tonight I made a batch of my grandmothers potato soup. I'm still missing something. It just isn't quite as good as when she made it, or my Mom, or Kathy. I think maybe I'm not frying the bacon long enough. Kathy emphasized that you have to get it right on the edge of being burned. I think I am being to cautious about burning it and am not getting it cooked as much as I should.
I talked to the RV repair guys about the awning again, now that I have the motor home back at the camp. They will call me Monday to set up a time they can come out and look at it.
I've told John that I was pulling out a week from Monday, Dec 10th. I may be here a few days longer than that, depending on how the awning repairs progress.
It is tough being old <grin>, I am usually tired by the end of the day (nobodies fault but my own, my ego won't let me take a day off, other than on the weekend), also it is getting lonely being here by myself every night. It is a half hour drive to either Bryan or Hearne, so driving into town isn't high on my list of things to do. By the time I take a shower, fix something to eat, and eat it; I sure don't feel like driving into town.
I may move about 160 miles east of here, to the Triple Creek Music Park, near Woodville, TX. It is a typical RV park, but one that focuses on bluegrass/country/gospel music. They have a show three of the Saturday's in every months. On the Saturday's with no show they have potluck dinners. They also have "jam sessions" on Thursday and Saturday afternoon. I don't sing or play an instrument, but I bet I would enjoy listening to others.
Originally I had intended on heading west from here, eventually ending up in Tucson or Phoenix before heading north to see Utah's canyon country. I've pretty much given up on that because Utah's canyon country isn't warm enough for RV'ing until May, at least not warm enough for this wimpy RV'er. (On May 1st the average low at Bryce Canyon National Park is 33 degrees.) I think I want to return to Missouri before mid to late May.
I have had a good time working the the guys here at Messiah's Ranch, but maybe I need some R&R at a place with other folks.
Good night to all. May God bless you and yours.
