It's been warm here. Daytime highs are running in the mid 80's, mid 70's is the norm for this time of year. The temperatures are fine, but the winds have been blowing like a banshee, well maybe not like a banshee. One entire day the "average" wind speed was 20 mph with gusts of 40-45. The norm for the past couple of days has been average speeds of 15 mph with gusts of 25-30 mph. Right now it is "calm" with an average wind of 7 mph and gusts of only 10 mph.
The highlight of the past three days has been Monday AM when Kathy saw that the police were in the campground. At last nights potluck dinner we found out that someone from the campground had reported a naked man walking around in the campground. So far we haven't learned who reported it, nor has anyone else claimed to have seen a naked man walking around.
We both went to Monday AM's Information Meeting - nothing exciting. I did talk to a guy about helping me replace the awning fabric. He thought is was something he could do with no problems. Most of the old farts down here (maybe me included) have no business up on a ladder.
I went to my Spanish class Monday PM, we didn't have one today. My brain definitely needs something to decalcify it. I can't remember words I've know all my life and I can't seem to find space to store new words. 😀
Tuesday AM was Kathy's Ladies Bible Study. This morning we went to the Coed Bible Study.
Yesterday we did some grocery shopping (Sam's & Walmart), filled the car up with gas at Sam's ($3.20/gal) and had lunch at Taco Bell.
Yesterday afternoon I did 50 minutes on the treadmill at Planet Fitness and then 20 minutes on the resistance machines, I had to get back to the campground in time for the potluck dinner. Late this afternoon I did 30 minutes on the campground treadmill. It has been to windy to ride my bicycle. Going with the wind is fun, going against it is painful.
At yesterday's potluck dinner we sat at a table our neighbors (next campsite), a couple from the Rolla, MO area. We were discussing things we like to eat and the subject of seafood came up. I mentioned that I could eat seafood but it was nothing I cared that much about. I said that a panful of fried bluegills was better than any "seafood" I'd ever eaten. Pat agreed with me and talked about catching bluegills in MO. This afternoon he knocked on the door and gave us a plastic bag full of frozen bluegill filets. Kathy already had a meatloaf cooking but the bluegills will be in the frying pan tomorrow.
Paul, a guy from the campground who is close to 90, regularly bakes bread. Kathy had taken he and his wife some pie a couple of days ago. Today he brought us over a loaf of fresh baked bread.
God is good. I pray that He bless you and yours. He has blessed me.
