Sat. July 16th. Satellite Saturday

Join us as we travel North America in our

 Holiday Rambler Vacationer, since August 2006

        Another sun-drenched day on the forecast, with temperatures about 32c (88f) just loving it. A light breeze and large shade trees its another perfect summer day. On my morning walkabout I chatted with Larry and went back to check out the work he has done on the garden walkway by his seasonal site. Last summer he spent the summer moving the huge boulders to create a walkway near the fence past their campsite. Then he planted some wild flowers and a bit more landscaping.

       Then I ran a few errands before puttering around.  Mary next door had a new trailer delivered on friday and her daughter and son in law Mike were helping her move her stuff in from her other rv. Then Mike was attempting to set up her satellite dish so she could watch tv. He had never done this before so I volunteered to help him. I was on my way to help John set up his dish anyway. A little fiddling with Mary's set up, checking cables and finding out the trailer was not wired for satellite tv, so we bypassed the connection and all is now good, Mary is happy. After this we continued to John and Barbs trailer to help them set it up their dish and very quickly got them a good signal, just had to put their dish on another site because of trees. I use this fantastic website for finding the co-ordinates on all satellite dishes "Dishpointer".

       The satellite dish set-ups done, we returned home to relax and read for a bit, before returning to John and Barbs for "happy hour", we haven't had one for quite a while. Its nice to just sit, relax and chat for a bit, do some catching up then back home to cook supper. Suzie even got to play with their dogs for a while as well.

Hi my name is Pepper

Suzie and Hank

        Now back home to fire up the barbie for a baked potato, mouthwatering prime rib steak with mushrooms and onions and fresh broccoli for a satisfying supper. 

a delicious supper

        Once again after supper we can relax outside and read on a lovely warm evening in the good old summertime.
