Today I worked the reservation cards and in between rounds hung out here and there at a site just a couple up from ours. Today, our family will go home. Back to work for Ronnie and Patty, back to enjoy the last weeks of summer for Melissa and back to enjoy one last week visiting before returning to Florida for Evalou. And I’ll stay here and enjoy spectacular sunsets every night now they’ve hit the road. See ya Ronnie!
Bob spent his morning with the lawn mower and gathering things left behind in his trash bucket.
Its been a zoo here in the park today. The tent sites borders had somehow gotten all discombobulated. Site twelve was half on thirteen, thirteen was on fourteen, fourteen was on fifteen and sites 16 through 18 were out in no man’s land.
Then we had a group of forty come in that just wanted to rewrite all the rules to suit them so that was a battle in itself. What a crazy, crazy day.
This afternoon we sat out with our new friends Steve and Kerri.
We met Steve in the beginning of the season shortly after we got here. Each time he’s been here he has been sure to look us up and spend some time talkin’ fishin’ with Bob. During the 4th of July weekend he introduced us to his longtime girlfriend Kerri. Bob and I enjoy this couple. They are great fun to sit around and talk with and we are so glad we got to meet them this year. They are very outdoorsy and share a lot of activities together. Kerri told us how one Valentine’s Day she got hip waders from her sweetie. And then there was the Christmas she got throwing knives! I’m still trying to figure that one out! At one point Kerri’s mom said, “He does realize you’re a GIRL doesn’t he?” She said he has given her jewelry here and there but she’s never surprised if a fly rod is wrapped up in holiday paper. We will make it a point to stay in touch with these two and can see ourselves catching up with them again down the road. Steve and Kerri, we’re glad we got the chance to meet you this summer!
