Very mild again last night but overcast most of the day temps to 74f. Got a couple walkabouts the park just over 1 mile around this large place for one lap, very quiet here in the off season, just the way we like it. Got a few laps done just over 3 miles enjoying the nice weather.

Then a quick trip to town to pick up a few supplies, And actually got some quality reading done outside this afternoon on our e-readers.
Things we have enjoyed in this area in the past.
We have been to this area many times over the years and visited 2 very worthwhile attractions more than once, so did not feel the need to go back again so soon, but thanks to our Blog we can relive the experience and share with you if you did not see them before.

Happy hour in 2013 with Lady Girl, Pat, Rob, me, Suzie,
Emile and Monique |
Back on Nov 9 2013 we toured Har-Ber Village in Grove, with good friends Emile and Monique, If you missed it you can read the posting HERE. It is a worthwhile attraction to check out.

Then on Nov. 12th 2013 Another good friend Rob and I (Pat and Suzie did not care to go) toured the Darryl Starbird's Hot Rod and Custom Car museum and actually met Darryl Starbird himself, what a great bonus this was! The posting is HERE with so many wonderful cars to enjoy !

Seeing as we are in Tornado Alley we always keep a close eye on the weather as we pass through the area, local tv station keeps us informed as the weather happens extremely well, and we have been doing this for a long time so are familiar with how things go. Severe weather coming through but appears to have passed by us north west of here about 4:30pm. Maybe hail later. County maps out and so on, tornado shelters available all is good here, severe weather. Just add a little excitement to the day. And is amazing how they can predict the county, city and neighborhood where a tornado will touch down ! Sure wish we had this type of coverage in Canada!
Now later today gonna whip up a tasty meal inside, cause it's overcast and supposed to rain. The weather God's were off a bit, thunderstorms supposed to start at noon but held off until 3:30, so was a pretty good afternoon, and chatted with our neighbor for a while too, fulltimer for 8 years from Wyoming.

| looks scary |
 |
| heavy rain for a bit |
Storm has passed us and the Canada geese came back to bother us!
 |
| Skies cleared and much nicer out now |
Supper was another craving for Suzie. Garlic shrimp with Fettuccine Alfredo and a salad. Not a problem pretty quick and easy. Thawed the shrimp, then sauteed with mushrooms, onions and garlic paste, throw in 1/2 a jar of sauce to heat it up and serve over the pasta.
I have made Alfredo sauce in the past but not worth it just for the 2 of us , this works just fine.

That was a very tasty
supper and so easy too |
No major weather today until later and still very warm, we are enjoying this area like we always do.
BUT at 9 pm firetrucks came through the park warning of a tornado ! So we packed up our computers, passports and over to the storm shelter, only a few yards away. It was secure and a very cozy cement building.
 |
we heading on in
to the storm shelter |
 |
even lights if the power goes out
they are prepared here |
But all was good, the tornado passed by within 30 minutes and we chatted with other people here in the park, Kind of an unplanned social hour at 9 o'clock at night.
Bottom line all went well we had a late happy hour, then we all headed home to bed. Hoping the rest of the night is trouble free.
Hope you had a great day and no tornadoes, thanks for stopping by.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Fall and Winter..
The pics below, looks like the vine is going to take over this tree.
They also have quite a few nice cabins here to rent and a few are occupied.
Afternoon walkabout at the Gazebo down by the lake, wonderful views here.
