        Another great sleep windows open and at 6 am it  was 68F (20C) gonna be one more wonderfully hot day we are sure ready for. Started out at 7:30 for my first walkabout shorts and t shirt enjoying this sunny quiet morning. 1.5 miles in, walking the campground perfect !
      Such a beautiful day rather than running errands we are just going to putter around here a few more walkabouts, a light tasty lunch, chat with a few people around, (not many here) . Downloaded a few more free books from Book Bub, to add to our reading enjoyment.

the pond looks so peaceful this morning with a nice sunrise

no campers here in the Valley

     Relaxing out side right after lunch Paul was mowing the lawn here so moved our car and he did a great job on our site,

Paul does a great job mowing the lawns here

          Enjoyed some relaxing time in the shade on this very warm fall day 84F (feels like 99F) , but thunderstorms predicted for this afternoon.
          A bit later new friends joined us for an early happy hour outside to pick our brains again for more full time tips. They came over and shortly after 3 pm the rains began so we headed inside our coach and the conversation just flowed non stop.  Giving them some tips and ideas and what we like to do. None of this is gospel, take this information  and do what you want to do with it. With the rains and storm coming in we secured our awnings and Mark brought their dog Shilo to be with us, she was much better here than alone in their trailer.

Shilo is a real cute puppy

she got a treat from Suzie and they are now friends ,
doggie fix for Suzie too.

   The conversation flowed until after 5 pm, wow where did the time go?  They headed home and I preheated our Weber Q to grill a pork loin roast for tonight supper, about 45 minutes was done to perfection 145 F internal temp to go with our usual salad.

done nicely on our Weber Q

pork loin, salad and of course apple sauce to go with the pork
sure did the trick tonight

    Still raining and more storms predicted tonight we will leave out awning secured  until the storm passes, hopefully tomorrow. After the rain the temp dropped from 84 F to 68 F really quick, looks like the heat wave is over with for now at least.
    That was actually a very wonderful warm day mostly until the rains began , but it was predicted and we were ready for it.
    Inside now after supper much cooler and still drizzling, Not a problem for us the weather is whats it is and always part of this amazing lifestyle we enjoy.
   Glad that y; all dropped on by and hope you had a great day as well.

    Another mild night and was 70f at 6 am , gonna be another hot day, sounds perfect to me. Got a few nice early walkabouts hope to visit some friends here but not many people outside on this wonderful summer morning.
     So I hopped in the car for a nice country drive around the area grabbed some more white corn,and enjoyed the scenery and even a few more walk abouts. Still nobody outside? Hmm..  Love this rural countryside . When I got home I realized I forgot to take any pictures oh pooh....  nothing too excitng anyway.
     Then we fiddled around for a while with some old cassette tapes and dove into our e-readers. Then we ended up having a few friends one at a time stop by to catch up with us. Always nice to see these guys when we are in the area.
     Before we knew it was 3 pm , Happy Hour with Bill, Barb, John and Wendy. They are waiting for their daughter, Kimberly, Scott and Sadie to arrive from New York with their trailer. We went to Kim and Scotts wedding this past June in New York.

chatted with these guys for a bit then Kim and Scott arrived
so nice to see them again

Then Gramma Barb got to hold her grand daughter Sadie Anne,
 what a cutie just over a year old

Scott and Kim relax for a bit
then went to the store.

     About 5 pm we headed home to whip up supper. Tonight a couple of Turkey burgers and some more off this wonderful white corn , its is so very tender, sweet and tasty, like I said yesterday. Can't beat this white corn if you can find it.

all done, English muffins in foil for a few minutes
to warm up nicely and so soft

       Supper and dishes now done we can enjoy some of this wonderful warm evening temperature out side, Still 84F in the with a nice light breeze, yup we will take this weather any day. No need for AC because by the time we will be inside after dark from a campfire it will be quite comfortable.
       We got time read outside for a while then our friends came back from the pool and splash pad with Sadie. Time to head down to join their campfire, late for us about 8 Pm buy heck this does not happy very  often wth these guys, its been a few years to actually camp here with them.
