More Wind, The Doctor and The Park's Filling Up

Rantoul, IL.
52 deg. clear, W. wind @ 7 mph.
Forecast today = high temp. 70 deg. sunny, NW wind @ 10 to 15 mph with 20 mph gusts.

It was another windy day here in Rantoul yesterday, so again Jim didn't do much outside. In fact about the only thing that happened of note was that about 1:30, CLT (Cute Little Truck), took Linda and Jim over to the doctor's office in Fisher, so Linda could get the results of her tests and get her prescriptions renewed.

All the test results were good except one of the blood tests, so now in a month, Linda will have to have another blood test as a follow up. :-(

The way I've got it figured, we should be at Joe and Nancy's in Virginia Beach by that time. :-)

For dinner, Jim cooked some burgers out on the grill while Linda cooked some sweet corn on my stove and got out all the fixins for the burgers. Jim said that he thought the sweet corn they have now was much better than what they had when the Illinois Bunch was here.

About 8:00 last night, both Jim and Linda were wanting a snack and couldn't find anything that sounded good, so they took CLT and headed over to the Dairy Queen for some ice cream. I personally thought it was pretty chilly by that time to be having ice cream, but they both seemed to enjoy it.

A lot of RVs came into the park yesterday. Everything from pop-up trailers to 45' motor homes. I would guess that the park is over 1/2 full, and I expect quite a few more arrivals today.

This morning, Jim and Linda will take CLT and head over to Walgreen's to pick up her meds. Then, everyone should be able to just sit back and enjoy the holiday.

I hope all of you readers have a great, safe Labor Day weekend. ;-)

Did you know that in the late 1800s, at the height of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, the average American worked 12-hour days and seven-day weeks in order to eke out a basic living?
