We were just starting to get ready for the day on Saturday. I had my clothes on and was just brushing my hair and the doorbell rang. Ted was still not dressed and headed to the bedroom and closed the door. I opened the front door to our neighbors from Cincinnati before we left in 1981! Steve and Marge were really good friends and thanks to Facebook, Steve and I exchange travel and Texas comments. It was great to see them and we are going to attend the Creation Museum with them next week.
We had to eventually excuse ourselves to get ready to pick up Dan for church. We didn’t know what “rules” were in place and hoped for the best. There was one door to enter. Seating was every other pew, seating on opposite ends and when they were full, the door would be locked. Afterwards we went to see Dan’s new house since we had never seen the inside. Then we moved on to Kath and Mike’s for pizza and to play Horse Race. Kevin and Barb joined us. It was a fun night and Ted won the most money.
Sunday was the baby shower that was postponed until we could be here. We got to see so many in the family and the two newest babies, both younger than CeCe but bigger! It was at Twisted G Farm, my niece’s property. The group of kids and their parents had fun visiting the horses, goats, pig, ducks, etc.
Right across from them was the campground we kept our second travel trailer in the late 70s before moving from OH to MI. So when we left we rode through and it isn’t near as nice as it used to be.
Monday was Peg’s 71st birthday so we invited her and Dave to breakfast. They are leaving for Florida this week so we had to move quickly. Both Dan and Tom from Phoenix called her while we were still at the campground so we invited Dan to join us, which he did. We had a nice meal and talked about their Hawaii trip scheduled for Christmas.
After coming home Ted put the wheel covers on since we will be here for two more weeks and then we went to Sam’s. We wanted to stock up on our Cincinnati foods. Frozen Skyline Chile, canned Skyline Chile, goetta and turtle soup!
Tuesday we invited Karen and Ron to lunch and to see our new toy! We had a nice visit and they left for home with two servings of peach cobbler.
Wednesday we went shopping to find a Keurig coffee caddy. We have one at home and I wanted one for the RV. BB&B was closed permanently. We checked a few other places but gave up. We stopped at Humbert’s meats for brats, steaks for down the lake and pickle loaf for me! We will go back Friday for ham, turkey and cheese for the lake too. I came home, found a caddy on Amazon on sale for half price so it is on its way.
Kevin called and he and Barb came to visit in the evening. They are leaving for California soon so we were glad they came to visit. It was so nice sitting outside, just talking and sharing family news. We appreciated them taking time to come.
Thursday evening our friends who were our Maid of Honor and Best Man, now married, picked us up to go to Hidden Valley Lake across the street for dinner. The company was superb, the food not so much. Judy had her knee replacement postponed because of the virus and it is now scheduled for August. She is in a lot of pain and having trouble getting around. But she was a trouper and made her way into the RV, not an easy feat for her.
Friday was really busy! Donna picked me up and we met Cookie at a restaurant right on the Ohio River. We sat outdoors under a canopy and it was so pleasant that we spent three hours together. When we all arrived back at the campground, Tal and Cindy had arrived from Texas, passing through on their way to Maine. Tal and Ted are shooting buddies. We visited for awhile and once Donna and Cookie left we turned right around and went back to the same restaurant for dinner. I had grilled chicken for lunch and grilled mahi for dinner! Traveling, visiting and eating can be tough on the old waistline. I brought my scale and so far so good in staying in the 4# spread I am allowed to stay at for free Lifetime status.
We head to Owenton, KY tomorrow for two days at the lake.
