I was up around 4:30 this morning, made the coffee and set down to read my Bible for awhile. I started reading earlier this year with the intent of reading the entire Bible in 1 year. I did great until we went to Kentucky/Ohio, and then when we returned home we've been so busy with the house I have had a hard time getting back to reading everyday so now I'm trying to catch up for all the times I've missed. I feel certain before the year is over I will be back on track and finish out okay, and I really enjoyed reading it this morning.
After Dean got up and had his two cups of coffee he asked me if we were going to walk. We both agreed we should. It rained in the night and it was definitely damp this morning but we enjoyed a nice walk here in the park and out near the main entrance that leads to the camping store that Coachlight owns next door. We walked 2.29 miles at an average of 16:40 min/per mile.
After breakfast Dean walked down to Keith & Drena's rig to have coffee and I showered, washed dishes and made the bed. I am driving the ladies to the Carthage Walmart to pick up a few things we need for our Instapot Meal tonight at 9:30.
I wanted to get some hand lotion because I have two fingers where the skin is cracked around the nails. Drena suggested I try O'Keefe's Working Hands hand cream that guarantees relief for extremely dry, cracked hands. They are so sore I am willing to give it a try. I guess I'm going to have to get the rubber gloves out to wash dishes. I do have to admit my fingers aren't nearly as sore tonight as they were this morning so I hope that means it is working.
After returning from Walmart we gathered at the clubhouse where Drena and I tired to download a ringtone for Dean's phone but no matter what we tried we could not make it work. We took a break for lunch to each of our respective rigs and then we gathered back at the clubhouse to play a game that Donna brought. We selected a card with a topic and then we had to try and guess the answers provided on the card. We had some great laughs.
About 4 everyone headed to their rigs to gather up what was needed for our part of the meal tonight. We are using our Instapots to make most of our evening meal. Drena made quartered potatoes cooked in butter and deviled eggs. Linda made glazed carrots. I made smothered pork chops and used both mine and Donna's Instapots. Donna made a pasta salad. For dessert Linda brought pecan pie and ice cream. What a wonderful meal we had and we enjoyed using our Instapots.
Enjoying our meal.

It cooled off quite a bit since we walked this morning . I hope it warms back up in the morning in time for our walk tomorrow.
Good night!

Cheri,
ReplyDeleteI had done a lot or research on the net trying to find a park near Mt. Vernon suitable for longer stays. Seems like Carthage is the best bet. I looked at Coachlight and Camp Mi Casa on the Route RV Park. Here is a link https://www.campmicasa.com/
