The
RV park has become very busy for the long weekend and I heard boats on the
river when I woke up just after 6 – but I didn’t get up right then! I worked on my “crafty” project and decided
that it was not going to work out as I thought so I scrapped that idea.
Later
in the morning we went to town for propane and groceries as Terry thought
steaks on the BBQ sounded good for dinner.
It probably goes without saying that we detoured through the casino
first. It is amazing how different 2
days can be – not so lucky today.
We
had a late, light lunch before stopping at Safeway and getting some great
steaks in their markdown area. We took a
drink and a chair to the river bank and watched all the traffic on the
river. We started to recognize water
craft of all sorts that went past us numerous times as they cruised up &
down the river. Drivers are quite
courteous and drive on the right side of the river as if it is a road so there
are not a lot of times when boats are heading towards each other. The sheriff just cruised down the middle.
The
steaks turned out as good as they looked.
We hibernated and watched TV for the rest of the evening.
Sept 1st – Sun
It
took us just a little longer to play our 9 holes of golf this morning as there
was a 3-some in front of us. After breakfast,
I worked on entering recipes for my new recipe box. We went to town for lunch and the usual visit
to the casino which was again not so good.
It
was very hot today so we headed for the river when we got back. There was a lot of traffic on the water so it
was fun to watch – and lovely to cool off.
There is a couple down the way with 3 golden retrievers. They have a bucket of empty water bottles
that they throw into the river for the dogs to retrieve and get some exercise –
also fun to watch but you know old people are easily entertained! There was a gorgeous sunset “reflection” to
the east.
Sept 2nd – Mon
I
printed the recipes that I entered yesterday and then entered & printed
some more. At the same time we were also
watching a golf tournament on TV and took a break for breakfast. We discussed playing 18 holes of golf this
afternoon and decided it was going to be waaaaay toooo hot so we settled for
lunch & the casino instead.
Terry
found me as I was about to run out of money and said that he had 17 cents left
when a coupon printed out for a chance to win $100 free slot play. I had received one also and of course got
nothing. But Terry got $100 slot play. He played several machines and eventually
cashed out $100 and we wisely went home!
We
walked to get water when we got back and realized how hot 109 really is so we
“hibernated” after that. Most of the
weekend campers have left so the river is very quiet.
We
got a phone call tonight from Ron & Terri, Duane & Sue and Bev. It was nice to chat with VVV friends and
makes us want to see them all soon.
