Monday, September 1 - Happy Labor Day!

5:54 a.m. - Yesterday was a quiet day.  Amber left a bit early and then worked at Shivers for a few hours, so I had the entire day to myself.  I did make a nice breakfast on the Blackstone, and then I tagged along with the Bakers to go for a hike.  We went on the trail that goes from the horse corral area up to the ranger's station and then back.  After that, I reclined outside on the chair and read my book.  A couple of gentlemen stopped by for a brief conversation, but I was able to just get lost in the story of the book - I didn't even nap!  Amber got back from Shivers around 3 p.m., and then I decided to start the campfire to burn up the rest of the firewood.  Greg visited around 6 p.m., and we chit chatted for a bit around the fire before heading inside to watch the rest of the Notre Dame game.  The Irish lost but it was a good game.  Greg headed out just after 10 p.m., and I watched an episode of the Dick VanDyke show on meTV before heading to bed.  

And now it's a Labor Day Monday!  I need to get the camper back home and settled in, and then I need to mow the yard.  The weather is forecast to cooperate, so that's good.
