It was windy during most of the night. Just about sunrise, it was to cloudy for an actual sunrise, we received a nice 15-20 minute shower. I was sitting in the front, people watching, as the rain started. I saw a lady in shorts and a tee shirt out walking her dog as the rain started. She looked like she probably had her hair done. No doubt she was seriously soaked by the time she got home.
I also watched the campground workers heading out with their golf carts and trailers. Most of the carts have roofs but I doubt that they provide all that much protection. Most of the people wore some type of rain protection, but I bet most were wet during the first half hour of their day. Not a great way to start the day.
After breakfast we went to the 10:00 Cowboy Church Bible Study. It is in one of the rooms at the campground Activity Center. There were 15 people there, its sad that so few take advantage of such a great learning opportunity. On the other hand that is about the right number to allow for discussion. Chris, the Pastor of the Cowboy Church of the Valley, is doing a great job making us think about the Gifts of the Spirit. He welcomes comments and discussions, even though it seems that we sometimes don't make much forward progress during the hour.
I received a phone call/message, during the Bible Study, From a couple we haven't seen since we moved from Indiana in 2011. Chuck and I texted back and forth a couple of times. We need to get a call going on speakerphone tomorrow so his wife Rhonda and Kathy can also be involved in catching up.
After the class Kathy and I hung around for a while so that we could access the WiFi and do some necessary phone/tablet updating. We had lunch at the restaurant there. Kathy's chicken tenders were edible. My Cuban sandwich was good. We also poked around in the library. There must be a sizeable contingent here from Quebec, the library has a decent size bookcase full of books in French.
After lunch we attended a function in the Ballroom. It was for couples who have been married a minimum of 50 years. There were over 30 couples in attendance. Two of the couples had been married 67 years. Kathy and I have been married 55 years. The campground served everyone cake and drinks. We shared a table with two couples from Minnesota. Both couples have been spending the winters down here for several years.
There were five couple who were celebrating there 50th during this year. The had them sit up front. One of the couples was from Columbia, Missouri, about 40 miles from our home base in Centertown.
In the afternoon we sat outside enjoying the mostly sunny day, with temperatures in the low 70's. With the sun, shorts and a tee shirt felt great. We both did manage a siesta.
In the evening Kathy saw the UPS truck. She chased it down. She finally got her tea. It was originally supposed to have been delivered February 1st.
We didn't hear anything about repairs to our AC unit today. Tomorrow I need to check in with the guy. I emailed Tiffin and found out the right part number to order one, but I wasn't able to get confirmation that they actually had one in stock. I did learn that you can't buy one directly from the manufacturer.
God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
