5/22/07 A Day to RELAX!

One week down. We just completed our first of seventeen weeks that we'll be working here in Missouri.

Bob has completed about 20 picnic tables now and I've learned a new computer program, learned to drive a golf cart and use a power washer.

Today and tomorrow we're off to do as we please and we are pleased to relax! We made a trip to none other than the Hundred Dollar Store and once again Walmart got us for about a buck twenty. If only we didn't have this habit of eating!

We woke this morning to cloudy skies and thought, "Doesn't it figure, beautiful blue skies all week and now its our day off and its cloudy and overcast." There is a state park close by that has some overlooks where I wanted to take some pictures but I want them on nice sunny days. Oh well, maybe tomorrow will be better.

We sat outside for a good part of the day to enjoy the breeze we had. Just like clockwork the RV'ers started coming in around three o'clock. This happens everyday, you could set your watch by it. A lot of RV'ers have a self imposed rule that they travel between nine and three so as to miss "rush hour traffic". We also try to travel during these times, much less stress. So we sat and watched the rigs roll in. By six o'clock the incoming traffic is pretty much in for the night and as a rule the campground is pretty full. We don't get tent campers during the week, just RV's. There is a lot "snowbird" traffic right now, those who are going home, north from Florida, Texas and Arizona. This should die down soon and the vacationers will replace them.

After dinner we settled in to watch American Idol. We're rooting for Blake but wouldn't be surprised, or sorry, if Jordan wins. They are both great singers.

That was it, our first day off.
