I was awake early again this morning and I wonder why.  It sure couldn't have been the beautiful sun shiney weather as it was dull and overcast and it wasn't long before the rain started falling.  There apparently is snow in the forecast for today as well.
The only good thing about all this wet is that the grass will be greener and the trees will "bud out" even quicker.  Actually, the huge big cottonwood trees here in the park are already budding out and, it won't be too long before the leaves will have fully formed and be swinging in the gentle breezes.
Even Booko is happy to lay beside the heater and have a morning snooze!!
We headed out today bound for The Home Depot.  We needed to purchase some elastomeric for the repair on the truck camper.  When John took the satellite dish off the camper it left holes in the roof and of course, those will have to be repaired before we put it up for sale.   The elastomeric will certainly do the trick.
We also had to find Sam's Club as the price of gas was certainly a lot lower there than in any of the gas stations.  Thank heavens for google and maps as the phone took us to both places without any trouble.  They were actually pretty close together so that was a good thing.
Once we were done with all this nonsense, it was time to find the highway that would take us home!!  With that being done, we stopped at Roundup, Montana to see if their sweet little campground was open.  Four years ago, the Musselshell River flooded its banks and basically destroyed the campground and fairground.  We have checked on the campground every year since then and it is only NOW that the area is open and usable.
It is such a sweet little campground and all the town asks is that we give a donation towards the upkeep of the park.  Well, we enjoy this spot so much that a donation will certainly not be an issue.
 Of course the weather is not cooperating  today and is was quite rainy when we got here so that is another day that the BBQ will not be used!!  What the hell....... who said that I had to be doing all the cooking lately!!
 

Our spot for the night

A gloomy day

It is oven roast chicken, potatoes and cabbage for supper tonight.  the chicken is currently in the oven and is smelling delicious.
John and I played the best out of three games of rummy and I was the victor today.   Woo hoo....the rummy Gods were looking after me today.   Tomorrow, well that may be another story!!
Oh Well.....Life is Good!!
