08/01/07 August Already

The first day of August and the last full month of summer begins today. This summer is going fast isn't it?



The countdown for getting on the road really begins now. NEXT MONTH we hit the road again. Not that we are so anxious to leave Dan and Barb, that isn't the case at all. We just want to travel and see more sights. So we have 28 more work days to go. It doesn't seem nearly so long when you don't count the days you are off.



We've got some new campground residents though I don't think they'll hang around long.



These are three baby swallows that we took notice of last week. Every time I go to look at them they have their mouths open, they sure are hungry little things.

Things were quiet in the campground today, not many people here at all, but then again it is the middle of the week. I'm sure it will be very busy this weekend once again. Dan and Barb say that the next two weekends will be big then the season is pretty much over. Even though it will be only mid-August at that point, the season will "end" because school will be back in session. That's right, the schools here start on August 15th. Barb told me there was a study done here several years ago that says Missouri loses an astronomical amount of tourism dollars due to the early start of the school year. I guess that fell on deaf ears because school starts in two weeks.

Once again, another short entry, just not that much to tell.
