6:01 am - Saturday - May 9th - LPG&RVR - 41° F, humidity 28%, cloud cover 13%, wind 1 mph out of the east.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies this morning with a forecast high of 83° F. On this date in 2020 TLE and I had just arrived at Goosenecks State Park....
.....we were traveling with Glenn and Laureen (TLE's sister) that summer. They were a few hours behind us, but eventually arrived in the afternoon. The view this morning....
Our final day of our four day weekend began a little after 7 am. We still had a few more things to do to finish our 'lido deck' setup, and we got a little more done adding another camp chair, and the 'smudge pots' (tiki lamps) to ward off the mosquitoes, which have arrived this year earlier than normal. I received my first mosquito bites in over 8 months. I did not miss those irritating little creatures one iota...lol.
Around 9 am I drove over to the Clubhouse to practice my putting, and found the putting green to be a little faster than a week ago. They are almost up to the speed I prefer. I putted for almost an hour (without any mosquito bites) before heading back to site #55, at which time I pulled out our outdoor TV for the first time since last September to watch a little golf while I relaxed in one of our anti gravity chairs. That is when I got my first mosquito bite of the season.
TLE gave Kathie her lunch break Wednesday and Thursday, so I fell to me to give her one on Friday. Considering it was a Friday it was not super busy in the office. There were no phone calls, just two checkins, and one couple playing golf. It appeared we had rented around 10 golf carts Friday, but only one had returned when I left to return home at 2 pm. I returned again at 4:30 pm to help Claude wash and stow the 8 carts which had returned, so I will have two more to wash Saturday morning when TLE and I return to the workaday world for four more days.
TLE arrived at the Clubhouse around 4:40 pm to get the register tray from Kathie, while Claude and I relaxed on the deck enjoying a glass of Sangria. Once TLE was ready we headed home for a late dinner. TLE made her wonderful Chicken Verde Enchilada Casserole for dinner, which we consumed alfresco on the 'dining/gaming deck' with Claude. By 7 pm it was beginning to get cool outside, so we bid our adieus to Claude, and headed inside for the evening as our outdoor lighting was coming to life....
....thanks for stopping by!
