Sunday, May 15

6:41 p.m. - This weekend went very, very well.  I'm feeling very blessed to have been granted the time and circumstances.  The rain avoided us at the campground at Scott County Park, and the temperatures weren't as hot.  We had a lot of time with little Luke Jason, and Rhonda and Jack came out and visited Saturday afternoon for awhile.  I read my book; I had a chance to use the Blackstone griddle again twice.  I like the organization scheme I have right now for storage.  I'm feeling better and better about pulling the fifth wheel trailer, even though backing up into a specific area is still a struggle.  I'm sure I'll get better with more experience.  I had a chance just to be with Amber, and that's something we need.  I slept very well too.  Weekends like that just make retirement all the more enticing.

Today we returned home a little earlier than a normal pull out day because there was a chance of rain in the afternoon, and it did rain.  I got a bunch of little things done around the house, plus I went a got a haircut.  If I don't have a softball game tomorrow, I may run and get some chlorine.

Today, I also assembled the little bike trailer that we got for Christmas.  Luke Jason was the first participant to take a ride.  Now I just have to figure out how to get bicycles and the trailer with us when we go camping.  I'd like to purchase a bike rake for the RV, but they are a bit pricey.
