8/22/2012 So Long Dianne

(Rehoboth Beach, DE)

Morning chores and a load of wash done it was time to finish our game of Mexican Train from yesterday.

By mid this afternoon it was time for Dianne to take off to catch the ferry to Cape May. She didn’t want to get caught up in afternoon work traffic so she opted for a three o’clock sailing.

This wasn’t an emotional goodbye because we’ll see Dianne again. Either at her place in Jersey or at my parent’s house in Wilmington. So it was just a c’ya in a couple of weeks kind of so long.

Dave, a fellow workamper, (Sue’s husband_ went clamming today. He doesn’t like clams so offered the tender small ones to Bob. Bob loves them so he is one happy camper. Dave just likes digging for them and is happy to share them.

Back to work tomorrow.

8/21/2012 Mexican Train Day!

After breakfast, Dianne and I were sitting outside under the awning when she asked if I had played Mexican Train this summer. I hadn’t, but knew that Sue, a fellow workamper, was home so I went to ask her if she wanted to learn to play. She jumped right on it and the game was on!

Sue picked it up right away and it all came back to Dianne after just a few plays. It was a pleasant day to be outside, sunshine and a gentle breeze. it doesn’t get any better than this.

We played the afternoon away and had to cut the game short because Sue had to go to work. We’ll finish the game in the early afternoon tomorrow.

I had decided to make a dish that I have only made once before for dinner. Bacon wrapped chicken.

The brown sugar, chili powder and garlic powder mixture the bacon wrapped chicken get rolled in just brings such a special flavor to this dish. Mix that with a squash/zucchini/tomato dish I make and a garden salad with butter head lettuce just made the perfect meal. If nothing else, we’ve eaten exceptionally well this visit.

Evening came and Dianne took a long walk to the top of the bridge to try to work off some of our dinner.

TV and more talking and it was another day down.
