Saturday, May 28 - Keeping up and Ice Cream Social (CS,CO)

 

 

Trying to keep-up with the blog is hard sometimes, especially while working.

Wednesday we both worked and the weather was gray.

Thursday was a beautiful day…bright and sunny, we both worked. We are enjoying the mountain air and our time here at Mountaindale, weather permitting we like sitting out after work in the evening and having a beverage.

Jesse is quite sure he found our leak. He drained the fresh water tank and the dripping/leak has stopped. Not sure yet what he is going to do to fix the leak, but I will keep you informed.

Friday was the unofficial start to the summer. The campground was booked full for the weekend. I came to work at 3:00pm and was busy the whole shift closing at 9PM. Jackie said they were busy all day also.

It’s nice to see the campground full of people having fun, campfires going and people walking around.

Today I opened the office at 7am and for the 1^st hour I was all alone. Then people started to wake up, out about, walking dogs, children riding bikes and coming in the office for a look around.

I had forgotten to bring my yogurt so my husband was so kind as to bring it down to me. Of course the commute to the office is about a 2 minute walk, so it wasn’t taxing on him…still very sweet!

It was another beautiful warm sunny day!!!

When he got back to the rig he put in the new insulation and reinstalled the underbelly. He also put up our sun screen in our back window. We had it made for the Montana so it’s a little too wide for the Alpine window but he made it work.

He ordered a vent cover for the bathroom vent. It came the other day so he install it today. We are still awaiting the delivery of the covers for the two Fantastic Fan covers.

When I got home I made us a sandwich for lunch and we drove into the Springs so I could get my nails done. While was busy Jesse ran over to Home Depot for a few items. He bought some solar outdoor lights to put out around our site..can’t wait for it to get dark so I can see how they look.

We grilled chicken and sat outside to eat ….. I really enjoy eating outside.

Tonight was the 1st Ice Cream Social of the year. They have one every Saturday night.

After we had our ice cream and visited with other campers we came home and Jesse built a fire.

We sat outside until it was just too chilly to sit outside.

It was a good day and look forward to many more.

Tuesday, May 24 - Dentist & Shopping (CS,CO)

 

Today was my scheduled day off. This became a day off for Jesse also. He dressed and went to work, but after about 2 hours was told that they didn’t have material so no work today. Yesterday he only worked 4 hours, so he had a light week.

I left the campground around 9am and headed to the dentist in Pueblo which is a round trip of 80 miles. When I left the temperature was 50 degrees and cloudy, when I arrived in Pueblo it was 63 degrees and sunny.

I only had to wait about 10 minutes before being called into a stall. The technician looked at the three hot spots on my gums and took the partial away to make the adjustments. She brought it back for me to see if she needed to make additional adjustments 3 times. When I left it felt pretty good.

I then rode over to Kohl’s and found a few things I wanted. By this time I was hungry, so I stopped at Del Taco and had a chicken bacon ranch taco that was served on a pita. It was pretty good.

I stopped for fuel @ 3.99 per gallon, then headed to Canon City Walmart for groceries. I enjoyed time alone shopping.

Jesse helped me in with the groceries, it was a good thing he was home because the girl bagged them heavy.

After I put everything away I sat and relaxed.

We have been having a good time watching the birds.

As we were just sitting and relaxing the wind kicked up and we had to rush outside to take the screen down so we could roll-up the awning. We folded up all the chairs and tables.

Within 15 minutes after we were finished the wind stopped…Go figure!

Just finished watching the 2 hour Oprah special, wonderful tribute to a GREAT LADY. Just one more show, I know I will miss her!!

I made pork taco for dinner use the leftover grilled pork from yesterday. I made Spanish rice and refried beans to go with it. While I was cutting the vegetables, Jesse made us a margarita on the rocks, nice dinner.

We clean up the kitchen and watched TV.

It was a good day!
