     Today is actually the anniversary of the day we moved out of our house and officially went fulltime. 13 years ago. I will post about that tomorrow.

     Wow really  did it  this morning all  these fun times campfires and visiting are wearing us out I actually slept until 7:15 this morning!!! Almost 3 hours later than normal.
      Last night after supper about 7:00 pm the band started playing on the outdoor stage by the club House  . The Bon Jovi Tribute band We went down to check them out for a while listened to a few songs, not songs we knew though. They were good, and Rock N Roll is not our favorite, and too loud for us, we had options, so we decided to head down to last campfire our friends were having. 3 couples leaving in the  morning. John, Wendy, Ken Kim and Larry and Diane.
they were right into it
nicely set up on the covered stage here.
they were selling Hamburgs and hot dogs there as well.
lots of people came down,
lawn chairs and enjoyed the music
Joe, Nelly, Gerry, his grand daughter and Melinda
enjoying the music
so heading the fire I grabbed a couple of soft ice cream cones
just because
we enjoying the campfire and other  family showed up
Nicole. Keith and their son
nice to see them again
a good lively group
enjoying the campfire and
always lotsa laughs
another great campfire.
    We enjoyed great campfire and could still hear the band as well. and we ,managed to stay there until 9:36 pm , the latest for us everyone was surprised.
     Now Sunday morning after a great nights sleep we headed into the Pinery Flea market just because it was a beautiful warm summer day always enjoy it there. And always new stuff to see or things we want.

not too busy yet 
     Then we ran into Bill, Barb, Larry, Diaane as well as Nicole, Kieth, their son and daughter.
love it here under the trees
       We picked up a few things, freestone peaches, extra hot pepperettes, and one of these pizzas' we have seen before, Nice thin crust and can do on our Weber Q
lots of pizza varieties here.
       Back home we enjoyed a nice tasty light lunch and very tasty juicy peaches.
we do enjoy these Freestone peaches when in season
      Now to relax in the afternoon shade with a nice breeze. temperature is 89 F feels like 104 F. yup it is warm for sure. Sunday most of the weekend campers are heading home so the campground is getting much quieter now, just the way we like.
pretty peaceful now after the busy weekend
     A bit later the cat lady here walked by and gave us a few fresh veggies right from her garden like she does pretty well every year, thank you so much again!
fresh tomatoes and cucumber from her garden
Ron and Joe stopped by for a short chat
nice to see them again stop by
Gerry and Alyia, plus Tucker stopped by7 today  day as well
Tucker in the shade under our coach
too hot for him
     No happy hour today with Bill and Barb winds picked up and major storm predicted, But eventually the storms went north and south of us, we were saved!
    Then at 4:45 time to whip up a salad and grill a couple of bone in pork chops, 2 minutes a side and they turned out real tasty, Got a  deal on these 6 chops for 5 bucks , I could not turn that down. 3 tasty meals for us.
Nice chops seasoned with our Grub Rub from Texas we like
not long on our Weber Q
tasty and tender
added to our salad and shared a peach
did the trick tonight
    We actually enjoyed a very relaxing day and with the storm gone by will probably join Bill and Barb for a final campfire with them before they head out in the morning.
    Glad that you took the time to check us out and just know y'all had a great day as well.

Nice to be here and visit with friends , get laundry done, enjoying the decorations and a campfire with friends.

Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
   It was a nice mild night good for sleeping with some windows open. At 5am 52F and some sun today but windy. We are enjoying the sun outside. This campground is part of our ROD (Resorts Of distinction Membership system, free camping for members) About 7:30 this morning got a nice walkabout the campground by the Ponds (lakes) still a few nice fall colors around and lots of Canada Geese using the lakes for a stop over on their winter migration.
      Then about 9 am Suzie has sorted the laundry and I took it to let the machines do their magic. 3 large loads after 3 weeks since the last time. Nice machines here in the park and only $1.50 each to wash and the same to dry. That was all done by 10:30 then we enjoyed a light tasty lunch. I made a short trip to the store  for some Tortillas and cheese for tonights supper Chicken Enchiladas . These I will do inside in the oven so I stowed our Weber Q, not needed tomorrow either and we pull out of here Sunday..
      Now wander  about taking a few  pics here and there of some daytime halloween decorations that are set up. There will be lots more tonight and on Saturday. 
love this scary spider
lots of piles of leaves, but the wind
is blowing them around
        Fixed another compartment strut, I just switched it out with another old one but now that door stays open, this is the one for our water and sewage hook ups that I use all the time, I got tired of it hitting me in the head,
much better now 
    Now to enjoy some quiet reading outside with bits of sunshine here it is pretty nice out here. 64 F for a while but  cool wind gusts to 30 mph.
     Shortly after 3 pm  we  went to visit friends Al and Sandra Dickson at the front campground. We met many years ago. I worked with their son, back in the day, they were full-time for 15 years, now part time. So nice to see them again and catch up for a while.
        Now home to whip up supper the chicken Enchiladas are a nice treat we have not had for a long time , use up some of our chicken and of course a salad to go with it.
used this easy mix
this sure was tasty,
a real treat
the red spots are
ghost peppers from my son.
    So far our day has been pretty good, relaxing and getting things taken care of. Now to take it easy and get ready for the big, busy day tomorrow.
took the garbage out and spotted this
interesting display 
cool scary stuff on their tent
    Then we went to Bill and Barbs to enjoy a nice campfire, our friend Betty was their as well, It was wonderful for about 40 minutes then the rain started about 7:40 pm.That kinda puts a damper on our nice campfire so we ended up just heading back home and inside for the evening.
this campfire sure was awesome until the rain started 
    So many more decorations that are cropping up in no time at all as people arrive for the weekend.
    That was our fun day and looking forward to even more fun tomorrow.
    Thanks for dropping in for a peak and hope you had a wonderful day as well
