            Heading home after last nights campfire we crawled in to bed and was out like a light.
what a great campfire John Made
John, Wendy and the puppies
around the campfire we gathered
      John had some of the Chocolate Kahlua with hot chilies kinda tasty it was. I do like hot and spicy.
an interesting drink
     After supper Tuesday night they are finishing the concrete sidewalk around the block house across from us.
looking good
very nice improvement here
    I headed out about 7:30 thing morning for my first walkabout around the campground , first mile in and chatted with a few people along the way.
    Then I headed to Juicy Fruit Farms for some fresh corn that they have and we love especially the white corn.
beautiful clear blue skies, on an awesome day
they sell what they grow
fresh picked corn, Bi colour, or white corn we love
they even have yellow corn as well
no tomatoes right now later today
    After a light lunch I headed into Forest for a few more items and the Food Land had a nice basket of local field tomatoes that I picked up too many but a very good price and we wanted some anyway. Shared some with our friends.
we still have half a basket
     Now to relax in the shade for a while enjoying our page turners and over to visit with more friends that are here this week. Always nice to see these guys again and catch up for a while. We were invited for a meal with them but had already thawed out some salmon for us tonight so had to pass this time.
Always nice to meet up with these guys again
pretty well every year
once or twice
         Soon was time to put new batteries for my hearing aides, and check out the concrete sidewalks that they poured yesterday . They had been power washing all day so checked it out and was really impressed with the finished product. Instead of smooth concrete they made a rough surface so that it would not be slippery.
love the texture of it
 a very nice improvement 
think this os wonderful
      Now shortly after 3 pm over to visit with more friends and Happy Hour. All of us here again as well as Ken and Kim who arrived this afternoon. More catching up and more fun conversation and laughs. Always fun times with these guys.
      As the sun got warmer we moved to beside John and Wendy's trailer for some cooler shade.
Barb hobbling over with her broken foot
more comfortable here in the shade
    I took a few minutes to walk down 2 sites to check how our other friends were making out with their feast that we could not make today.
corn on the open fire
they getting ready soon
Dave picked up some firewood from Oli
for tonights campfire
       Home to whip up supper tonight a salmon fillet and 2 cobs of fresh picked white corn all done on our Weber Q , no pots to wash. This corn is so sweet and tender.
not long this was done to perfection
Salmon , corn and fresh field tomato
really did the trick tonight
    A bit later we will join this guys  for a campfire once again, just because we can. So I will wrap up this posting and get back to you tomorrow. Don't see these guys very often at all.
     Thanks for joining us today and hope you enjoyed a good day as will.     Below is a picture on Me and my baby brother Don would have been 57 years old today, but was taken from us at 38 years old , way too young. Him and I had a lot of fun together over the years.
Don, Me and my '56 ford I was restoring.

         Some how my formatting went kinda funky tonight, not sure if it was me or blogger. Not matter  not the first time and probably not the last time, But this was our day if you can make your way through it.
         Another hot night again 79F at 10 pm so our front a/c on lowest at 72F and was perfect for sleeping all night until 5 am was 69F outside, supposed to be another hot day, but we do have a nice  s/w breeze. I got a 2 miles walkabout in by shortly after 8 am felt good. Puttered around a bit then a drive to Juicy Fruit Farms on HWY 21 for some of their first picking of bi-color (peaches and Cream) corn this year, the white corn is not ready yet which we prefer.
lots of good stuff here, plus the produce in season
 They have fresh local beef and pork ,
 tasty bakery items as well. Plus other items etc..

love their check out a 1963 Chevy way too cool
       We enjoyed a light tasty lunch another short walkabout but really getting hot for that. Perfect solution relax outside in the shade with a nice breeze making it bearable.  But too hot inside already before noon at 90F so set our a/c on low just to keep it cooled down inside.
     After today it should be cooling down a bit.
at least we have a wonderful
breeze cooling this down
and a shady spot behind us to!
humidity at 75% makes it feel
much warmer
the winds are wild but our awning secure for now
looks nice for a while  
nice here for a while then got too hot
so we moved behind the coach
more shade and a nice breeze
        Enjoying our page turners, and shortly after 3 pm Gerry and Tucker joined us for Happy Hour, Of course Tucker headed right for Suzie so they both had a good doggie fix.
Tucker loves Suzie
Tucker Brought Gerry 
then Melinda done work got to join us
what a fun time we had
telling lies and sharing stories
        Soon was time for supper so they headed on home and time for me to whip up a tasty meal.
For supper I cooked a Tuna Steak for me and a Sword fish steak for Suzie , she prefers the Swordfish over Tuna and we happened to have one of each, You can click the links Swordfish  or Tuna both cooked very similar or my recipe blog top right sidebar, quick easy and so good if not overlooked. To that we added a small salad and some fresh corn on the cob I pickup us this morning. I like to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes in the husks and grill for 15-20 minutes or so, using the Weber Q anyway so why not ? Oh so tasty cooked this way.
        Just as the fish was about to be done a major wind picked up, so we quickly stored our awning, wow what a wind it was too. Don't need to loose another awning. So our fish was slightly over cooked by about 30 seconds , with these really makes a huge difference
.
quick easy and tasty
Suzie's Sword fish
this fresh local corn is awesome
my tuna so very tasty
slightly over cooked but
 still tasty and very tender
the storm is almost here right in time for supper
inside looking outside looking out we had
some major wind an rain for
maybe 10 minutes
     Now not much more outside with the rain off and on again . so a quiet evening inside  reading and  just enjoying some rare inside time together. The pics below were taken last night right across from us , Kds in the playground  just before another interesting sunset we got to enjoy.
a nice sunset thorough the trees
       That was it for our very hot day keeping cooler and relaxing in the shade. Thanks for joining us today and hope y'all enjoyed your day as well.
