Saturday was a lovely day, and we spent several hours on the front porch just enjoying the weather. It was probably the nicest day we have had all summer.
Joe spent some time trying to convince Dixie that she needed to become somewhat computer literate, but I'm not sure how much progress he made. Jim is in the market for a new laptop, so maybe that will be the trigger, but he probably won't buy that until after we leave.
Joe has been bringing his Notebook over to show his mother the pictures of Andrew that we have downloaded, so John and Bridgette -- keep those pictures coming.
Rick and Lori graciously invited us all over to their house for dinner, and she made her famous turkey burgers (delicious). We sat out on their screened-in back porch for a while until it got too cool. They have a beautiful back yard, but it doesn't get much sunshine.
Dan and Zach happened to be home, and Zach played a song he had recorded at music camp. Both boys work as lifeguards at the Y and are in college now, so their summer is about over.
Sunday morning we met Jim at church, but Lucille wasn't feeling up to attending so Dixie stayed home with her. We had lunch with some of their church friends (their normal weekly outing), then spent the afternoon at their house. Joe got to watch the race. Angie and Tim stopped by with Olivia, Xavier, and Sonia, so we had a nice visit with them. The kids were playing ball out in the front yard, and it brought back memories of when John and Angie were playing out there and he broke his arm (his second arm, his other arm was already in a cast from a break 3 weeks early). That would have been November 1987, if anyone wonders. Fortunately, no bones were broken today.
Rick and Lori wanted to stop by the RV and get a tour -- they (especially Rick) hope to do some RVing in a few years. We met them at our campground and spent some time educating them on the things to look for. Our campground is located on H.W. Baals Drive (pronounced "balls"). Jim told us that Harry Baals was mayor when he was growing up, and was jokingly referred to as "fuzzy nuts."
That was a cruel set of parents who named that kid!
We had intended to go back over to the house but it got late so we decided to call it a night. We are hoping everyone gets a good night's sleep tonight. It was cool all day, we got the jeans back out. It was 66 degrees when we went to bed, and we had to kick the furnace on. It got down in the 50s Sunday night and I did hear the furnace run a few times. Nice. Very nice.
