Back again!

Sorry, All, for the silent treatment, but we didn't have cell or aircard service in the campground UNTIL TODAY. Happily we had a visit from our friends, Dave and Marie Dengate last week and they have the same cell phones, aircards and antenna as we do. (Dave and Marie are camp hosting at The Great Sand Dunes National Park near Alamosa, CO, and spent their two days off with us here in Big Meadows-what fun). Dave let me use his antenna adapters for the phone and aircard and I was able to use our Verizon phone and get on the internet....YIPPE-E-E-E-E!!!

So we went to the campground our friends, Rich and Terri, are managing and used their wifi and ordered the needed adapters online and in five days we received the adapters and are in business again. I only get one bar on the aircard, but it is working and it isn't too slow...no, not really.

While the Dengates were visiting we all went to The Shaft Restaurant for dinner.

That's Rich and Terri, Jim and I, Dave and Marie

Unfortunately, it has been raining every day for two weeks; then yesterday the wind started kicking up and we still can't go outside to enjoy the beautiful setting of the mountains. I want so bad to sit outside under the awning and knit or read.....maybe next week.

Happily, all our camp hosts are trained and doing a good job with their jobs. Every Sunday they all come over here and we have a pot luck and visit. It has been very enjoyable. We have a great team this year. The last three weeks have been understandably slow, but that all changes June 13 when everything picks up. I like it when it is busy.

Tomorrow I drive to Colorado City (about 2 1/2 hours from here) to work with Bill and Lesle on putting on Escapees Colorado Chapter Rally. We have 14 rigs signed up, which is pretty good for our first rally. The chapter has been inactive for a number of years so we are trying to get some interest in getting it going again. Lesle has done all the planning and contact with the Colorado Escapee members, I will do the afternoon activities and help cook. We're doing many of the same things we did at our Class of 2007 reunion in San Antonio this year...hobo stew, baked potato bar, brown bag auction. It should be great fun! I'll be back Friday morning so I can help with the weekend campers arriving.

That's it for today....remember, you are loved!
