It was cool overnight but warmed up to the lower 70s. When we took our morning walk, the sky was a cloudless blue dome. We walked out the entrance road and along County Road 4134 to where it joins Hwy 64. That made just about the right distance. We saw some scissor tail flickers flying about.
We headed over to Dick and Carol's this afternoon, taking our laundry along and fixings for salad for dinner. Carol had fix your own pizzas, using prepared whole wheat crusts, making dinner pretty easy and delicious. Carol drove me to Super One to stock up on some groceries before our stay in the relative isolation of Brushy Creek. I remembered that Super One has some nice frozen wild caught salmon. The fridge will be completely full.
Robert and Debbie and the kids stopped by on their way home from church. They couldn't stay too long because Robert is working tonight. Sam is walking everywhere, very busy and inquisitive. Christine asked Carol to put on a CD titled Hooked on Classics 3: Journey Through the Classics, which started out with the piece that opens 2001 A Space Oddysey. She danced around to it. Sam got excited, and Carol joined in the dancing. I capered about a bit too. We all had fun.
Carol found a Hot Wheels puzzle at the garage sales yesterday and has been assembling it on her puzzle table. She figured that Andy's boys would enjoy it. When Christine and Robbie saw it, both of them were also attracted to it. Hot Wheels have entranced kids for many decades. When Ed was a toddler and had surgery, the nurses gave him a Hot Wheels track to keep him entertained. They first came out in 1968, the year he was born.
Dick has allergy symptoms and likely is developing a cold too. He had been asleep for some time when we arrived--long enough to worry Carol a bit. Probably he just needed some extra rest to fight off the infection.
This evening we walked around the campground and along an old road into the woods which apparently goes nowhere. Our neighbors were sitting outside visiting and drinking beer (they had evidently grilled out for supper). Their dog started to bark at us a couple of times, but they shushed it.
