Rainy Saturday

Well, I should be doing some cleaning but it's raining. Shouldn't clean out cupboards if you have to walk to the trash bin in the rain, right. :) Sharon's working in the office this am. We close the office between noon and 3 now. Been checking out office/host type jobs. One was posted for Dollywood during the winter. Sent a message to see if we may be suited. Who knows, maybe it will be Tennessee instead of Texas. Loved Texas, though.

Love the Fall. Been cooking again. Tomorrow, we're getting together with the owners for lunch. One of our guests left us some pork cutlets. I said I'd fix them. Best with mushroom gravy. Sharon will just have to miss part of the Packer game.

If can't find jobs, then we'll probably go down to Texas. Trying to decide whether to go back to San Antonio or down to the Valley for the winter. Who knows where the road will lead. Of course, if Sharon's house sells, then . . . .

Not much going on. Went to Jester Park and Saylorville yesterday to view the pelicans. Took some great pictures. It was very nice - picked up a little sun. My neck is still a little touchy this morning. They were on the opposite shore.

Went further into the park and managed this shot.

Then went back to the buffalo and elk. They cooperated nicely.


And, we can't forget stopping for the geese and the turtle.


What surprised me the most was the amount of silt in the river due to the spring floods.




Last night Stan and Vicki Hyde showed up at the campground. Stan's family lived next to my family for several years. It was fun catching up on the families last night.

The other work kamper couple left this morning. They're heading to Tennessee. Going to stop off at Memphis first. Graceland is on their agenda. Lucky people.

Sunday Afternoon

What a beautiful day. We have the windows open. No ac. That means there aren't any campfires either right now. Trust me. The windows will be shut when we head to work at 2:30. Campground is very full. Some really nice people and some, well, let's just say, it will be nice when they leave.

Another camper story. Had a family pull in the other night when I was working. He came back in and told us his plug wouldn't fit in the pedestal. He had a travel trailer and it was 30 amp. Both plugs were 30 amp. Couldn't figure it out. Dean, who works with us sometime, went out to check it out. He came back. Everything was fine. Guy was kind of new at this. He had the adapter for the house on his plug. Just needed to remove it. We just smiled. Didn't even laugh. But it does make a good story. Especially, since Sharon and I knew this from the beginning.

Promised some pictures from the fair. Well, here goes.

The first picture is one of the floats in the veterans parade. The second one is of the new exhibition center.

Here's a picture of Sharon getting a body detox. And, it worked. Her legs didn't hurt during the entire fair. The next one is the beginning of the sand sculpture.

Street scene from the first day. Very hot. The next one is the giant pumpkin.

Sand sculpture during the middle of the fair. Street scene just a couple of days later.

Matchstick sculpture from the Lord of the Rings. Another street scene during the middle of the fair.


Have a lot more pictures but should put them on another blog or facebook. Don't know which.
