A Great Day and The Used Car Lot

Apex, NC

Forecast today = high temp. 79 deg. partly cloudy, NW wind @ 5 mph.

Yesterday was a great day! Mike, Gina, Brenna, Savanna, and Dillon all came our here to the campground. They got here around noon, and stayed most of the afternoon. On the grill, Jim cooked steaks for the adults and hot dogs for the girls, while Linda made scalloped potatoes and green beans on my stove and in my convection oven for everyone.

After lunch, Mike and his family walked down to the lake and back, and Jim and Linda cleaned up the lunch stuff. After they got back, Jim, Linda, Mike and Gina talked, and the girls played both outside and inside of me. As for Dillon, he's too little to do much, but he did seem to entertain the adults quite a bit.

This afternoon, Jim and Linda will be going over to Mike's for awhile. This is going to be another one of those "bittersweet" days. It is the last day of our stay here in Apex, so it will be good seeing Mike and his family, but kind of sad when it is time to say good-by.

I expect Jim and Linda to be a little "down", when they come back here later this afternoon.

OK, I wasn't going to say anything, but I can't help it!

You come to this kind of park, (with lots of trees and wildlife), to be close to nature, so what does this guy across the road from me do? He puts out a light display that would rival most Christmas decorations! He has 2 of those fake palm trees that light up, some other kind of decoration on the ground, a couple of strings of lights across his awning and down the sides, and a string of rope lights outlining his patio area. Yes, you guessed it, he left them on all night!! The rest of the CG was completely dark, but jerk decided he wanted to light up his site like a used car lot!!

I don't understand how some people can be so inconsiderate of others. My only hope is that he leaves today, with the rest of the week-enders!

Did you know that Betty Rubble's maiden name was Betty Jean Mcbricker?

Man, my tires are itching!!!
