Rainy day, getting things done a real nice change of pace.

Where are we today ? 
clic a pic to enlarge it
        Lotsa heavy rain overnight and still going pretty steady this morning. Large puddles everywhere no long walkabouts in the rain today. The pool is full to the top, lake level is up and the ponds that were almost dry filling up again.
         When we are in this area and having storms we like to set up our tv antenna to keep and eye on local weather, they have amazing storm coverage. Now the bonus while taking in the local channels here is we get some tv we don't normally get and some of the old TV shows that we used to watch so many years ago.  Mostly westerns, (mostly black and white) with their settings that look mostly like the southwest desert and old western towns, no wonder we feel so at home there and love the desert. Shows like Paladan (Have gun will Travel), Gunsmoke, Maverick, Wanted : Dead or Alive, Bonanza, Raw Hide, The High Chaparral, Grizzly Adams, and more, we remember all theses shows,  guess we are older than dirt.
      After a few groceries and a light lunch I took a drive around the campground just because I could too wet and rainy to walk and only 52F (11C)
our patio, nice to have a cement one
the pool is right full
right to the rim
lotsa water around
glad we are parked on cement
lots of water here today

Patsy took this pic yesterday
hope you don't mind.
this dock is really high
noticed the bird on the dock
not sure what it is but nice to see
this pond pretty full
nice to see it runs out to the lake
      Down by the far end a few birds trying to keep dry on this log in the water.
fishing hut up a bit higher and more water for the boat ramp

     There is a great place to visit when in this area and we have been a few times, just not this time.

lots of neat buildings here
       5 years ago we went to visit  Har-Ber Village here in Grove, with good friends Emil and Monique.
        We have been there now 3 times over the years, such a wonderful place to visit when in the area. You can check out that posting HERE if you wish lots of real nice pictures.
      I did get a nice walkabout  this afternoon between rain drops to have a game of pool with Me, and guess what I am not a great pool player at all but heck I beat me! No matter I had fun for a while trying to hit that white ball around the table.  Sure glad nobody there to laugh at me.!
balls racked and I ready to go
     Ok I had enough  fun here and back home to spend time with my honey. We do enjoy our time together just the 2 of us.
    Then at 3 pm we headed on over to Bill and Patys's for our last Happy hour together here. We will see them on down the road in  a few days again.
        In their house today, not a great day for sitting outside with the cool temps and rain.
Suzie got her doggie fix with Clemson before
they leave in the morning
      And while here flapped our gums sharing stories and tips like we do during these social times.

       We did not want to overstay our welcome (they our heading out in the morning) so we headed on home to whip up supper.
       For supper tonight Suzie had a craving for some Garlic Shrimp Pasta I have made before. And today is  great for cooking a meal inside. For that recipe you can click HERE or my recipe blog top right sidebar.And after the prep was so quick, easy and tasty.
yum , garlic shrimp pasta, salad and a fresh kaiser bun
to share sure did the trick.
     Supper done, dishes done and again no visible sunset to share, but I am sure we will get more in the near future, at least we can hope!
tonights non sunset
       We actually had a nice productive day , getting some things taken care of  even if the weather was not perfect. We need this kind of days to get stuff done. Plus we enjoyed a nice social time with Bill and Patsy before they get back on the road a few days ahead of us.
      Really glad that you stopped by to join us today and hope your weather was a bit better than ours.
