We were awaken about 2am with thunder and rain. We both were able to go right back to sleep with the sound of rain pitter pattering on the roof.
We got up and started our day with coffee and walking the boys. Of course they came back all wet and Buddy was just dirty.
I gave him a bath, then I too got a shower and dressed for the day.
Around 11am I went next door to see what the Dray’s were doing. Colby was there and he got all shy and got into Mimi lap. He fell asleep and Marilyn laid him on the bed for his nap.
Ed was masking a pot of goulash on the stove that smelled mighty good.
Jesse came by to see if Ed was ready to go to the Cameron Cave. That is the cave that you need lanterns because there is no electricity in the cave. It is closed to the public now until spring, because the bats are hibernating.
The purpose of the tour was to see if the bats had white nose disease. The disease causes the bats to keep waking up during their hibernation, which cause them to use too much energy and they don’t survive the hibernation period. They had to get up close and personal with the bats and look at them with a flashlight through a magnifying glass. There is no cure for this disease, so I really don’t understand the point! They found no evidence of the disease.
I stayed with Marilyn and Colby while the guys did their investigating. We sat and visited and talked about all kinds of subjects.
After the guys returned we went home to just sit and relax. Ed sent home a container of goulash for Jesse, It had ground beef and sausage in it so I declined. Jesse went to get the truck all fueled up for our departure tomorrow.
When he got back we heard Ed and Colby outside, so I went over to see what was up. The weather had been cloudy and cool, but the sun had come out. Jesse walked the boys and when he got back Ed had him a cocktail waiting. The three of us had already started without him.
We sat for a short while talking and watching Colby play. He is such a good boy and just so darn cute.
I had the left over taco soup for dinner while Jesse ate the goulash - he said it was delicious. Ed also sent us dessert - cake, strawberries and whipped topping……Yum!
We are so very glad we came to Hannibal. We had a wonderful time spending time with friends. The highlight was being able to meet Jennifer and Colby, sorry we weren’t able to meet Steve, maybe next time.
We are heading to our family and are very anxious to see everyone. We are also thinking about our RV Dream friends in Kerrville and hopping everyone traveled safely there and having a GREAT time.
