Happy Saturday a wonderful day !

Where are we today ?

        Last night I tried to post the blog but for some reason our internet was too slow. And its not even the campgrounds internet. I think because of the long weekend and all the people in this area using all their data devices everything slows down , just like it did when we were in Quartzsite during the RV show.
         Yesterday was a wonderful day for the most part. Bright sunshine almost all day and when we were out of the wind it was very warm. We got quite a few walkabouts and chatted with lots of people we had not seen for a while.
the entrance to our Park
          Up by the pond we spotted the two families with all the baby geese  (technically a gaggle of goslings). Two different families the closest group about 5 weeks old.
        All four of the outdoor playgrounds were busy as was the indoor pool and playground, (stayed away from there this weekend) let the kids have fun, it will be quiet again on tuesday
this is the area behind us in the square
our coach is at the right side
        After our walkabouts we are ready to enjoy our books in the warm  sun protected by the wind beside the cabin.
what a beautiful day!
because we had the sun and no wind
Happy hour at our house
even Haley joined us too
      After the Happy hour and solving all the world problems, I fired up our Weber Q and grilled a nice turkey breast and some acorn squash with Maple syrup.
added that to a tossed salad, sure hit the spot
        Then at 7 o'clock the wagon ride was full taking people around the resort and was done just in time before the rain started.
        After a short rain shower with the sun shining we had a very really interesting sunset.

        Well the weather guesser was wrong again, no rain all day long until about 7:30 and temps got up to a sunny 15 c (60f), much nicer than the predicted 11c (52f) and overcast.
        So far this long weekend is turning out pretty good (not beach weather) , but really can't complain.
        Thanks for dropping in and hope you are enjoying some decent weather too.

  2. That is a neat mystical looking sunset. Do you really think that the number of users affects the internet? I really would like to know as the same thing happened to us in Mexico from time to time. I bet Rick wold know.

    1. Yes mystical was the word I was looking for thanks.
      With out Mifi in the States and Rogers Hub here there is certain ties when it is slower and I am pretty sure teh number of users effects the speed in some areas.

  3. I've had to put the heat on each of the past two mornings. Just a wee bit too cool with temps down in the single (C) digits. You watch, it'll be stinkin' hot in no time. Never fails.
    And yes, the number of users definitely effects your internet.

    1. Stinkin' hot I don't mind at all can always find a shade tree, cool, breeze, nice pool and a cold beer.
      Our internet is blazing fast at 4- 5am and as people wake up and get on lone it slows down considerably.

  7. The weather guessers weren't wrong. They just predicted it in the wrong place. We got it on the right coast instead of the left coast. We've been in places before with our internet where we had great signal but poor upload --- too many people and not enough bandwidth to service them all.

    1. As you know we take what we can get, and just live with it. The weather though is wonderful!

  11. George.. enjoy your blog so much.. I even bought a Webber Q100. I try to follow your recipes to learn but I wish you would say... low, medium, high etc. and aprox time. I completely burnt the pork chops and so undercooked the potatoes in foil, and squash in foil, but burnt the slices. I even turned down the heat. I'm so lost. I maybe a gramma but I was not the one to do BBQ, my hubby and then our son. Now I'm left to my own devices and failing miserably. I love your meals.. only choice I see is follow you guys around and slip you my food.. LOL... regards grammady...

    1. Cook everything low and slow, but preheat 15 minutes first on high. The chops only take a few minutes, taters 30 to 60 minutes depending on the size. Sugar makes things burn and stick, a little practice and you will be a pro.
