Because we wanted to improve our view, we moved from site 75 to site 5: a matter of about 500 feet. The difference is spectacular.
Here's the new view from our back door.
After the move, we settled in and enjoyed the view until it got too hot to sit out! The temp here got to 92 degrees. Thank goodness Jill insisted on adding AC to our camper.
Following an informal lunch of crackers and cheese, we made a trip to Walmart. While Jill got her hair cut, I did the grocery shopping. I was able to find everything on the list, except Jill's face creme/sunblock. After her haircut, she found it and we checked out. Back at the camper, we enjoyed the AC for a while, and then the four of us, went down to the river. Between the breeze and the water, we got cooled off quite nicely, thank you. The dogs love running on the beach, and Lulu loves to bite the little ripples that break at the water's edge.
Some neighbors came by with their dogs, and we had a lovely chat. Then it was time to cook up some vittles. I lit the BBQ and put on the pork ribs. Unfortunately, between a gusty wind and not enough gas in the little canister, the meat just got slightly browned on the outside. I finished it in the microwave, and Jill sauteed some veggies from our garden. We added fresh corn on the cob for a scrumptious feast.
Today's ship traffic:
Remember the movie The Wackiest Ship in the Army? Well, here's another Army ship for you.
When this stern wheeler went by, Jill said, "We should find out where they came from and book a trip." I'll turn her into a mariner yet.
The old blogger putting an extension on the sewer hose, so we could get Topper closer to the water.
