A Day with the Croxtons

 6-21-2021 - Monday

After last night's thunderstorm, which did some damage around the city but not at the campground or at Dixie and Jim's house, the weather was much more tolerable. It was cloudy all day, with the temperature and humidity dropping.  I think it stayed in the 70s all day,

We had a late breakfast with Cathy and Joe before they headed back to Bloomington.  Jim says he didn't know when he married Dixie that breakfast on their honeymoon would be the last breakfast he ever ate with her.  They just celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary last week, so that's a lot of single breakfasts!  But she got up and went with us this morning, so that makes the second time, according to Jim.

They had their backyard landscaped a couple weeks ago, and Dixie has lots of flowers blooming in the front yard too, so she's back in her element.  We loved the split rail fence, what a great idea.

I took two loads of laundry over, so I got that done,  Joe had accidentally deleted his contacts in his cell phone last week, so we made a trip to the Verizon store to get that fixed.  (That's not the first time he has done that.)  Then Angie brought her 8-month-old grandson, Bryson, over to meet us.

What a cutie!  And such a happy baby.  He's just about ready to take off walking.  Dixie warmed up fricassee for dinner, then after Angie and the baby left, we played Mexican Train, all 13 hands!

Dixie had DQ ice cream cupcakes left over from last week's anniversary celebrations, so we had a little treat with our dominoes.  Jim was ready to quit about round 7, but he hung on until the end (and he lost).  It was fun, we hadn't played that in a long, long time, and I am pretty sure the last time we played it, Lucille was sitting right there with us.

It was 11:30 when we finished, so we were out driving Ft. Wayne streets just about midnight.  Luckily, we are only about 6 miles to the campground, so it didn't take long, and we managed not to get lost.
