Thursday, July 14th - Another Day in Paradise

 It was another beautiful day here at Paradise Point. Last nights low was 48 and today's high was a sunny 74. We LOVE it. Jeans and a flannel shirt in the AM and shorts and a tee in the PM.

So far the only negative is the change in neighbors. Three of the RV's on the west side of us left this morning and three new ones pulled in this afternoon  Now we have yapping dogs next door. They don't yap all the time, just enough to really annoy me.

We had planned on taking the ferry to Drummond Island today. It was such a nice day that we decided to stay at the campground. Actually we did venture out for hamburgers and mushrooms at the De Tour Village Inn. When we were there last fall they served me the best hamburger I have ever had. Today's was big, and tasted OK, but was far from the one I ate there last year.

I did get one chore done today. I cleaned the tracks for all the coach windows and siliconed them. A couple of them are still sticky and noisy but hopefully they will get freed up with more use. I also wrote a Letter to the Editor about the 40 year high inflation levels we are experiencing; inflation levels caused by massive government deficit spending, so they could  hand out free stuff and entice people not to work, which led to shortages. 

Since Feb 2020 government policies have led to the labor force (people who have or want a job) shrinking by nearly 600,000 people and to nearly 800,000 fewer people being employed, even though the population has grown by 4 million. OK, I'm off the soap box, its safe to continue reading.

The campground owners were out cutting more reeds this afternoon. They may have only cut one or two boatloads today. They don't have an actual office. There is a maintenance building on one side of the property but I've seldom seen anyone spending time at it. I hope to track one of them down before we leave tomorrow, to inquire about weekly or monthly rates. I know Kathy and I would be content to spend a week here, and maybe even a month, next summer, if the rates were reasonable. They have full hookups and pretty good WiFi for a campground, and an awesome view, but not much else. If they have bathrooms, a shower house or a laundromat I've not found them.

Tomorrow we are scheduled to head off to the Soo Locks Campground in Sault Ste Marie.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
