Saturday, August 13

11:04 a.m. - Just stopping in the house here to check up on some things and do a little computer work.  Amber and I have actually been out at Loud Thunder since Thursday night.  It's been a perfect close camping retreat the weekend before school starts back up.  Jack and Rhonda came for Blackstone supper last night.  Jim and Cathy came for Blackstone supper the night before.  Tucker and Rosie have visited for a bit to have some fun and play on the playground equipment.  I did some fishing; we rode our bikes; we watches some Stranger Things episodes; we've had a campfire each night...there was a supermooon on Thursday night.  And the temps have been very cool for this time of year.  

I thought about mowing the yard today, but it doesn't really need it.  And I thought about possibly hooking the pool heater parts up, but I don't think I want to get into that.  I honestly think I just might get some gas in the truck and head back to the campground.  Jack thought he might want to move a freezer today, but he changed his mind.  The weather may have some storms later today, but those are supposed to stay east of us.  The Bears play at noon, so maybe I'll see if I can catch that on the television.
