Well, it took me a while but here I am catching up from vacation. Thursday we spent some time putting decals on the truck. We had ordered them last year from Heartland so they match the camper. We got four of them put on the truck and then Beth looked on the internet to fnd out how you are supposed to do it and found out we did it wrong. Turns out you are supposed to take the backing off and spray the decal with a soap and water solution. Also spray the area of the truck where the decal goes. This allows you to move it around and also makes it easier to get the bubbles out. Oh well, it looks pretty good. I’ll send a link to some pictures. We have one more on each side to put on and then I will take a picture of the truck and camper both.
I don’t remember what we did on Friday but I do know we went over to another camper for a campfire. Saturday afternoon they had a band called the Creole Jazz Band. www.creolejazz.com. They were really good. If you go out to the web site and click on the musicians link and then click on the picturs you can see their background. Some of these guys have played with some well known people. At 7:00 pm on Saturday they had a group called Smash Band. They played at the new bandstand in the resort. I was concerned because with a name like Smash Band I figured they would be a rock band but they played a wide variety of music. www.smashband.com. They played for 3 hours until 10:00 pm when the fireworks started. The fireworks were really good. They lasted for 35 minutes. They had a lot of ground effects fireworks. Kinda like roman candles only they shot off faster then roman candles and went back and forth. Hard to describe in words.
Sunday we went to another concert by a guy named Carl Rose. He played the fiddle and guitar and sang. He also had a woman guitar player with him and her daughter also played the fiddle and sang. They did a mixture of gospel music and patriotic music. Sunday night we had a fire again and said goodbye because we planned on coming home earlier then normal since we had been gone for two weeks. The trip home was uneventful. And then, of course, the dreaded Tuesday when we had to go back to work after two weeks of vacation. It really did not go too bad though and now we are staying home this weekend to try to catch on work around the house. I mowed the grass and trimmed this morning and also cut some stuff growing along the fence. It was warm but not so hot that I had to quite every five minutes. Beth spent much of the morning cleaning stuff that she got from the farm when she was there on Memorial Day weekend. Then, I unpacked the prehung door that we got for the spare bedroom and took it into the garaged. Beth is painting it. As soon as it dries I will take the frame out for paint and then get it installed. I think we are going over to a picnic that a church is having close to us. It is a three day affair with carnavel rides, etc. Some camping friends of our go to this church. Anyway, I guess that about catches us up. I’ll try to get some pictures posted soon.
Sounds like you had a pretty full week. I’m sure it was hard to go back to work. Imagine going back after 2 1/2 months. I know I am really going to dread it.
