August 26 2020

seriously, its the end of august! where has summer gone....Been busy all month getting the annual maintence stuff done. I believe we are DONE!. so all that will be left to do is last minute stuff that cant be done till we go. plan on leaving sept 30th for Erics in MT. for a week before heading south to Yuma Az. Covid 19 is still going on. People are required to wear masks when inside  buildings. it seems to be slowing a bit in spreading but still canceling most events in the area. 

July was busy and HOT! with a lot of humidity. garden did well. lots of beans and potaoes in particular. tomatoes are now ripening and I have canned chili sauce, pizza sauce and salsa. freezer corn is done along with a couple of  qts of refrigerator pickles. just need to do a few more qts of stewed tomatoes and juice and I will be set for the winter. I may not be able to have a garden next year as the campground owner brett may be taking it out and putting in a volley ball court. bummer! we had friends Jo and Dave  visit for a few days in august. fun time. we met them in los fresnos texas our first yr there. High school friends Debbie and Denise also visited this month. great to catch up with them. Our campground friends Mary and Bob whom are no longer in the campground where here last week for a grill out. great to catch up with them also. Done a bit of kayaking with SIL karen and friend pat but not as much as I would have liked. Done lots of bike riding. Toms back has been giving him issues so he has started PT and is improving. thank goodness. we hope to fly to brads on sept 10th using a portion of the vouchers we received last feb in Dallas. So far tho we have not received confirmation of the tickets or another voucher for the remainder of monies left over.  stay tuned for the rest of that story.
