Well, it is not raining yet this morning but the skies sure do not look too promising. The kids are all heading home today and John and I will be going over to Clear Water to pick up Jace's travel trailer and park it here in the yard. Jace had to go back to work on Monday so left Kim at the lake for the rest of the week with Scott and Jill and Kellen.
We headed over to the lake after texting the kids and when we got there, Scott and Jill had already left. Apparently they are starting the process of selling their house and the Real Estate agent was to meet them later today so, they left early.
Kim and Kellen were not ready yet so we helped them finish loading up then hooked up, stopped to dump the tanks then headed back to Leoville where Kim would empty the fridge. We took the Big River Grid home as the Clear Water Grid has lots of curves in it, many of which are considered "blind" curves. It is a rather dangerous 20 kms and I much prefer to travel the Big River Grid even though it is about 15 kms longer.
We saw three deer on the way home and I am sure we saved two of their lives.. We came around a curve and there were two standing directly on the road. They did not seem to be in any particular hurry to get off the road either. There was a white truck stopped further up the road and I am sure they had their rifles out the window ready to shoot!! Not this time guys as we continued along our way scaring them off the road.
Once back in Leoville, Kim cleared their fridge then her and Kellen were on their way home. They still had a good 2 hour drive in front of them.
It was looking a bit like rain but John decided to start a fire. The football game was not on till 8 p.m. so we had a couple of hours to kill.
Dave came over for a bit and eventually the rain did start and we had to get the umbrellas out. No use in wasting a good fire!! It has been a long time since John and I sat around the campfire under an umbrella. Gary and Arleen stopped by for a while and sat under the umbrellas as well. We totally looked like a bunch of Rednecks!!
Eventually, it was time to head into the bus and finish watching the football game and have supper. Kim had left us some deer sausage and John cooked it on the BBQ. It was awesome.
The rain eventually stopped but it remained chilly.
With supper over and the dishes done, it was time for me to head to bed and watch some TV while in the prone position - a good position to be in!! A great way to end a day.
