Jan 3rd - Saturday

I forgot to mention that I met one of my goals for 2014, I read through the entire Bible during 2014. In 2015 I plan on using Oswald Chamber's "My Utmost for His Highest" for a daily devotional and I've started re-reading Francis Chan's book "Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God".

We haven't done much exciting the past couple of days. Yesterday we went down to the Fish River Grill for lunch and it was disappointing. It is highly recommended and we had a good meal there last year. The swamp soup appetizer was OK and my Redneck Reuben was good. Kathy's shrimp & oysters was disappointing. I took a 2.5 mile, 45 minute, walk around the campground for exercise.

This morning I went to the clubhouse for pancakes, sausage, orange juice & coffee. One of the couples at the table were originally from El Paso, where he was a cop. The other couple at the table had lived in Vermont prior to retiring. The guy from El Paso told tales about the Texas Rangers. Discussions moved to current events. Basically all 5 of us (Kathy doesn't go over for Sat AM breakfasts) were in agreement that politicians are currently preventing cops from enforcing the law, and that the judicial system is way to lenient with those who break the law. After breakfast I took a 3.25 mile, 60 minute, walk around the campground.

Today we went to the Summerdale Diner for lunch. It was our first time there. Food and service were good. I had a chicken fried steak and Kathy had breakfast! She ordered the pork chops, eggs & hash browns. Mine was good, hers was awesome. If we go there again I will be ordering the pork chop breakfast. She brought one of the chops home & I ate if for supper.

At one of the campground meetings we had heard that one of the local RV places would detail your RV for only $250. There is a guy who lives at the campground who will wash and chemical was your RV for $50. Over the past couple of days we stopped at 2 places to see what they offered. One place will do the wash and chemical wax for $250 and clean the inside for another $200. The other place does a hand wash and wax for $15/foot of RV length, $600 for our motorhome. Guess we will take care of our own washing, waxing, & cleaning<grin>.

Weather has been changeable. It was supposed to rain last night, but didn't. Then it was supposed to rain today, but it didn't. One of the guys in the campground noted that they thought about turning on their electric blanket two nights ago and then last night they considered turning on the AC. Today's high was 73. It was mostly cloudy but the sun peaked out occasionally. We are definitely supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow. time will tell. It just started raining. Must be a lot of heavy cloud cover because the satellite TV just went off the air for a short while.

May God bless you and yours.
