The overnight low was 61 degrees. We had the windows open and enjoyed the cool up until close to bedtime. We did shut the windows and turn the AC on then because of the high humidity. Today's high was a mostly sunny 77 degrees. Right now, 10PM the temperature had dropped to 68. The overnight low is forecast to be 63.
We just sat around and enjoyed the place this morning. Kathy did do a little walk about. In the afternoon we drove in to Lebanon (12 miles, 20 minutes with the traffic/construction near Lebanon). We went to Walmart, for a replacement sewer hose (The CAMCO Rhino FLEX that was leaking was a disappointment. My previous Rhino FLEX lasted several years. I purchased the current one in the spring and was surprised that it was already leaking. I purchased another Rhino FLEX because I think the are a good product. Hopefully the leaky one was just a lemon.). We also made a grocery buying stop at Aldi's.
I did have an interesting experience at Walmart. I knew their RV accessories were in the automotive section but couldn't find them. I saw a Walmart employee who looked like she was stocking a shelf so I walked up to ask for information. She was playing with a flashlight that was still in its packaging. It looked like she had turned it on and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. She ignored me while I stood there waiting to be acknowledged. Finally she looked up at me and I said, "Where are the RV accessories located." Her mind boggling response was, "I don't speak English well.", and she went back to ignoring me and playing with the flashlight. She was not Hispanic, maybe Haitian or from some middle Eastern hellhole. A couple of aisles over I found another employee who walked me to the aisle with the RV stuff. I was so shocked by the "I don't speak English well." comment that I didn't think to mention the situation to the store manager.
Back at the campground Kathy put the groceries away and then took a nap. I visited a little with the lady next door. I learned that they are full timers with a home base between Gainesville and Orlando Florida. We talked about some of the places we enjoyed. She mentioned how much she likes South Dakota, which brought back memories of our stay at the Cedar Pass campground in the Badlands National Park in May of 2012. If you are interested check out:

When they leave here they will head back to Florida for awhile. They plan on a weeks stay at a campground right on the Gulf (near Gulf Shores) on their way back. They considering going heading west on their next trip, though Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. I suggested that if they stop in Phoenix be sure to visit Biosphere 2. I sure enjoyed visits there in 2012 and 2022.

Then I took a nap. We didn't eat supper until nearly 8PM. It's now 11:30PM and Kathy is sitting outside reading while I finish up this post.
Another good day. God is good. I pray His blessings on you and yours. He had blessed me. Last Sunday we sang a song with lyrics that includes "I don't know what He is doing but I know what He has done." PTL for what He has done, especially in my life.
