   This is the the rest of Saturday. the afternoon surprise party for Rob and Pat. Rob's 70th Birthday and their 50th anniversary. Organized by their Daughter Sandra at Rob and Pats house while they camped with us up here in the Ridge with our RV friends.
   All of us here at the Ridge made excuses to head out for a different party and left at various times to arrive before they did.

we got there early enough to sit out in the back yard
chat with a few people
we met before

      We were told they were on the way so we all  went out in the driveway and awaited their arrival.

soon they arrived

   Then they all gathered around for some family photos and I took a few, nice to see them all together.

     After the party Dance and picture taking people began heading home, we arrived back at the Ridge and Bill started a campfire, our last one here for this visit. We sat out for a while and chatted but were all done in by about 8:30 so in side for a bit relax and called it and early night.

 about to call it a night

        Up this morning at 5:30 only 48F outside, got the coffee perk going for a fresh pot to share with Rob again something we try to do in the early morning when camping together. Quiet times just the 2 of us solving all the worlds problems.

        A bit later Bill got his drone out another of his flying hobbies. It is a real cool machine. He even let me fly in Arizona last winter.

        We all hung around this morning getting more chatting here and there, a few ran some errands etc, then we enjoyed a light tasty lunch.

      Later this afternoon about 2:30 we headed into town to Rob and Pat's house, their daughter Sandra and Bill was having a surprise party for them and we are all invited, It was up to Bill and Patsy to get Rob and Pat there about 3:20 pm  This is to celebrate Rob's 70 birthday as well as their 50th Wedding anniversary. This will be my Saturday posting and will update some more probably on Sundays' posting if we have time. 

      Because in the morning we are headed out to  visit with more friends. about a 3 hour drive from here. Between this week and next we will be busy, busy so many get togethers and fun times with friends, I am sure these will be wearing us out.
     Thanks for stopping on by hope you are enjoying more of this summer weather as well, though it has been cooling down here a bit but more heat on the way again.

    After last nights supper, I took a nice walkabout around the Ridge and down the laneway to the road, it was such beautiful evening. Spotted Patsy walking back from her walk and back up the laneway we strolled. Then time to enjoy another campfires with good friends, Big git the fire going again.
    So more stories, laughs and good times until it began cooling down a bit and time for us the head inside and call it a night at 9 pm. Having all this fun wears us out.

Bill got a nice fire going for us to enjoy

     This morning was up at 5:30 kinda chilly again, 52F outside. I put on a fresh pot of coffee so that Rob could join me at 6 am. Gotta be fresh coffee for Rob so we enjoyed his visit and chatting. At 6:30 he made sure Pat was up and ready to head out at 7 am they have more things to do today.
      Than at 8 am I took a drive into and around Durham for a few groceries , fuel the car and fill up our 5 gallon jug of RO water.  It was warming up but then a bit overcast, no rain predicted today, but a cool breeze.
       Below is the Conservation area day use beach on the river.

quiet in the early morning

     Just up the road a bit on the  river is McGowan Falls.

         Back home, chatted with few of these guys for a bit and a light tasty lunch. Then I set up to restore our headlights  again on the car and the coach. They were due , usually 2 times a year.

this does nice job cheap and easy 

       Bill wanted to fire up a couple of his planes ,  good to give them some exercise, to make sure  they are still running good. He got one done , then a few sprinkles of rain so he put his stuff away again.

this one runs like new 

     I took nice walkabout down the lane and the road for a bit and back home again.

           At 1:30 Ron and Loree from Rock Glen resort arrived with their new truck and trailer.  Now we have all 5 of us together again, The last time was when were at Pilot Knob resort in California last  February. All together once again for more memories.
