Friday
The telephone man finished the installation of our Internet
connection this morning. Our download speed is a little over 3 Mbps. I am quite
happy with that. Spent some time getting the “cabin” ready for breakfast
Saturday morning.
We had a campfire in the evening. It was a beautiful night
for it. Nate, Judy (one of Kathy’s sisters) & Emily (one of Nate & Judy’s
daughters) arrived late Friday evening. They “bedded down” with us in the
motorhome.
Saturday
Very early Saturday morning (1AM?) Kendahl (Nate & Judy’s
younger daughter) arrived with 3 friends from college. They bedded down in the
cabin, with Kelsey, Andy & Lydia.
There were about 35 people here for breakfast Saturday morning.
Kathy fixed sausage gravy, bacon, scrambled eggs, etc. She served it buffet
style in the cabin. We started the campfire again. Many of us sat around it
while we ate breakfast.
Mid-morning Kendahl and her crew left for their Spring Break
vacation. Later Nate, Judy & Emily headed back to Ohio.
Merv’s (Kathy’s Dad) 95th birthday party was held
at the Crossville Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. Tom, Mary Lou & Merv
attend church there. The turnout was good and everyone had an enjoyable time.
We had another campfire in the evening but it was a little to windy to enjoy it. I was concerned that the wind might blow some sparks into some of the many dead leaves in the woods, and start a fire.
Sunday
We (Kathy, Kelsey, Andy, Lydia & I) “wimped out” on
attending church and just “vegg’ed out” during the morning. Kelsey and some of
her cousins went to town and had a good time shopping.
Monday
Kelsey & Andy drove back to Missouri. Lydia is going
back with us when we go on Friday. We didn’t do anything special that I remember.
Tuesday
It was cold last night, below freezing again. It snowed hard a
couple of short periods and we has light flurries on and off most of the day.
The ground was to warm for anything to stick. The wind blew fairly hard most of
the day. The high temperature was just above freezing. It was not a nice day.
Tonight’s low is supposed to be 16 degrees.
I spent some time making some “skirting” out of plastic
sheeting and insulation. I made up enough to run it across the front of the
motorhome and down one side, the areas where the wind was hitting. We have
never been in the motorhome when the temperature was below 20. Doug &
Anthony stayed in it, at our home in Missouri, when the overnight low
temperature approached 10, one night last winter. When that happened I had
straw bales stacked around the entire perimeter of the motorhome, to act as
skirting.
We went to Tom & Mary Lou's for supper. Dean made taco's for the main course and peanut butter pie for dessert.
At 11PM the outside temperature is in the mid 20’s. Inside
is a very comfortable 65, which is where I have the thermostat set, in the
motorhome living area. I’m sure it is warmer in the bedroom. (The bedroom is
always the warmest area, I think it is because of the heat loss through the
windshield.)
Helping Grammy with the dishes:
Time to finish reading my daily Scripture reading and hit
the sack. May God bless you and yours.
