We went down to the campground again this weekend. Got down there and went to the Creekside Cafe but they had quite a few people in line so we put our name on the list. They said it would be about 25 minutes so we went to the camper to set it up. Our friends had already turned on the refrigerator and air conditioner so all we had to due was put in the wheel chocks run out the slides and put the food in the refrigerator. Took about 10 minutes and then we went back to Creekside and they were ready to seat us.
Just about the time we were ready to sit down some other friends and their granddaughter came in so they sat with us. Kept them from putting their name on the list and waiting. Had the salad again. We just ell the waitress “the usual” and she knows what we want. Had an enjoyable meal. When we finished we sat with other friends under their awning for a while until we decided it was too hot and went into the camper.
Saturday morning we went down to the farmer’s market at Creekside and bought some Georgia peaches and a cucumber. We ordered 25 lbs of peaches to be delivered next weekend. The guy goes down every week and picks them up.
At 3:00 we went to the antique tractor pull. Only tractors 1959 and older are allowed to enter. The first tractor to pull was driven by an 87 year old lady. We stayed for about three weight classes and then left. 
The problem was that the tractors would add weight and then pull in the next class again. After we had seen the same tractors about three times we decided to get out of the heat. We went back to the camper for awhile and cooled off and then Beth went up to the duck pull. The first one hundred members could pull a duck and get a prize dependent on the number on the bottom of the duck. We have two memberships so she got to pull twice. She got an LVL mug and a $25 gift certificate to Olive Garden. One of our friends got an electronic picture frame and another one got an AM/FM/CD player. The rest of the friends didn’t fare quite so well. When they got back we went for a pitch-in at friends camper. Inside this time since it was so hot.
Had storms this morning but it did cool it off for a while. We sat around and shot the bull for a while and then went down to Creekside and had another salad for dinner. We came back, closed up the camper and came home. A really good weekend even though it was hot.
So how did the 87 year old do? She ought to win something just for participating.
She really did not do very well. She popped the clutch at the start and the chain came off but she didn’t realize it and kept on going. They hollared but she did not hear them. They actually had to flag her down. She had to back it up to the sled, rehook and pull a second time. She did not do very well that time either. We did not stay until the awards but she probably won since she was the only one in that class.
Sounds like you had a good weekend. We had some storms here on Saturday evening with a lot of rain and a light show in the sky. The lightning was really something to see. What are you going to do with 25 lbs. of peaches?
Well, at least the lady probably had a good time and could tell all her friends she was in a tractor pull. I was wondering, too about the 25lbs. of peaches. Freeze, can, jam, or just eat and make peach pie or cobbler? Yum!
We are going to split it with another couple. Not sure yet what we will do with the rest. We bought a few last weekend and they are really good.
