Sunday - I started my morning by doing laundry, then Joe wanted to run in to McDonalds while my clothes were in the dryer. After we got the laundry put away, we went back out and he washed the car while I went to the thrift store, but we got all done and moved over to the county park close to Joy's today, checking out of our campground at 12:05, and into the other one at 1:00, driving 30 miles (but it took almost an hour). We have reservations here through the 21st so we don't have to move until after the eclipse. It rained off and on all night, the first rain this part of Oregon has seen in 57 days, and the got between 1/10 and 2/10s, so not exactly the drenching they are needing. It even rained (or misted) off and on all morning, but by 1:00 it was done. Closer to the coast they got a little more, but I think it's over for the time being.
We missed out on joining the Croxton group for lunch, so we just hung out until about 4:00, then headed over. I forgot to take a picture of Dixie's handiwork on Friday, so here's the flower garden she has made for Joy. Just can't keep her out of the dirt.
We got to meet Spencer, Rich's son, for the first time today, and Rachel drove back in from Salem, so we all had a good visit.
The meal plan became chicken from Fred Meyers Grocery, so we had a picnic on the patio.
Marilyn brought her decks of cards, so we got some new blood for our 6-handed game of Hand and Foot. We got one hand in before dinner, and had just started the second, when we had to break to eat. But we got back to it and finished the game, with the girls soundly beating the guys.
We discussed some ideas for the week, and came up with a game plan for tomorrow -- Washington Park, which includes the zoo, the Japanese Garden, a mansion, and Mitch (Joe Myers' son). Rachel has requested some 6-handed euchre this week, so we will probably play that the next opportunity. Rich is working this week, but Joy and Rachel are both on vacation.
We have a 10:00 curfew at the campground (they lock the gate and you have to leave your car outside the gate and walk in if you aren't back in time), so we headed back about 9:00, not knowing how long it would take us to go the 6 miles from Joy and Rich's place. But we made it back without incident, and called it a day.
