We didn't use much propane or electricity last night. We slept with the windows open. It was in the mid 60's when we got up. It was a sunny 73 at 10:30 when we left for church.
We went to Liberty Church today. It was where we went when were down here many years ago. Over 10 years ago they turned a 12 screen theater in to a church. I worked during one of the work days. I helped tear down a wall between two of the theaters.
The people seemed friendly and excited about being to be at church. It seemed to us that the attendance is smaller than it was when we attended 10 years ago. They have made so many changes to the interior of the building that it was difficult to remember the old layout. One lady mentioned that they had put on a new roof. I wonder if some storm badly damaged the building. The main sanctuary is not open because of ongoing construction activities. The Pastor preached a decent message on the prodigal son, Luke 15:11-32. His delivery was to theatrical for my taste, but each of us likes different delivery styles.
After church we headed to Publix to pick up a few groceries. Then it was on to Peng Garden Chinese Restaurant. Both Publix and the restaurant are very close to the church. The restaurant was as good as we remembered. I have no doubt that we will be return on at least another Sunday while we are down here.
We also stopped at Wal-Mart on our way back to the campground. I destroyed a couple of my plastic levelling blocks at the last campground. The site here is a little unlevel side/side. After blocking up the tires on one side 2 blocks high I ran out of blocks for the jacks. Also, I have about a years worth of hearing aid batteries (bulk purchase), but they are all at home. I bought leveling blocks and hearing aid batteries.
Then it was back to the campground for coffee and reading out on the "porch". I stink at selfies.
At 6:00 we went up to the clubhouse for the Sunday night ice cream social. There were 50-75 folks in attendance. One of the guys at our table grew up in Marshall, MI. After full-timing for a lot of years he and his wife finally bought a house in Battle Creek, MI to be closer to their great-grandkids. They are down here for 3 months. The other couple at our table consisted of a 49 year old Alabama DOT worker who has lived in the area all his life. His wife grew up in the Detroit suburbs and also lived in the Kansas City, MO area for awhile before moving down here. They live in one of the houses back behind the campground.
People meet at 8AM at the clubhouse every morning for coffee and bull sessions. I'm lazy in the AM, don't know if I'll make it.
Tuesday and Thursday nights they have supper at the clubhouse, cost is $6-7 per person per night, cost depends on the meal main course. We signed up for Thursday night. There are many other daily activities. Tonight they were signing up people to go as a group to a local Mexican restaurant. When we were here before we went to a Mexican restaurant, maybe the same one, with a group. We sat outside. It was cool, it rained and the wind blew, and we still had a good time.
Last month when I reserved a site here the lady told me that we got the last 30 amp site available. We see quite a few empty sites. I wonder if folks are still on their way down from the north, or maybe it was just that they had only one site with no nights reserved for an entire month.
We did get a little rain this evening. Right now, 8:45PM the temperature is still 61 degrees, but the rest of the week looks like it will be cooler.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
