Too Much Happening to Post

Hot Springs, Arkansas
Lake Catherine State Park

It's been so busy, there just hasn't been time to blog.  Anyone that knows us, knows we enjoy attending RV rallies.  It's great to see our friends, but also nice to meet new ones.

Saturday night Camping World had a wonderful catered dinner supplied by Bubba's Catfish.  The meal was unlimited fried catfish, french fries, and coleslaw.  It was cooked here, so it was hot and fresh.  Lots of folks had second helping.  

The weather forecast was for rain Saturday and Sunday and the pavilion was prepared for it.  Tarps were hung on all three sides in case the weather got bad.  We were going to walk over, but Harry suggested we take his truck in case it did rain.  

Camping World gave out a lot of gift certificates for the prize drawings.  They also had a new Montana parked by the water for anyone to view.  




Here's a photo of Bonnie, the number one story teller for campfires.

Here's a photo of John and Shirley Kohl.  Shirley took a tumble today and John will be nursing for awhile.








Vicki made an announcement that Larry Sessoms was unable to attend and he said "hi" to everyone.

Gail and Bob Speer were newbie full timers.  They have decided to go to the Escapade so we will see them again next month. 

Scott Luciano presented Kathy Adams with a certificate, thank you card and a gift bag for hosting the rally.



It started to sprinkle right as we were ready to leave.  

We didn't go to the campfire as we thought the rain would continue.  We are up on the hill from most of the other sites and can not see anyone near the water.  

Bill and I were having coffee with the Allen's, Schoolcraft's, and Morey's  when we found out about the fun we missed the night before.  It seems that everyone by the fire went into Camping World's brand new  Montana when the rain came down.  I hear there was a lot of fireball consumed and fun past the quiet hours.  

We relaxed and talked with folks most of the day.  Bo insisted we take her for a walk.  Before you knew it, it was time for the campfire.

Bill and I usually do not do campfires as the smoke bothers our lungs.  

This rally knows how to do it right.  They have three propane fires.  

It is much cooler down by the water than up on the hill.

It turned out to be a dry day even though it rained during the night.






Early this morning we took the truck back to the shop to have the AC looked at again.  It was leaking freon and they replaced a tube.  Hopefully, this will do the trick.  I know I've said that before, but sooner or later we have to find someone who knows how to repair it.  At least it wasn't the compressor and dryer again.  

Harry and Carlena wasn't out when we were ready to leave but we said our "see ya's" to them last night.  

By the time we arrived back at Lake Catherine I was starved.  I received a text from George asking if we had eaten.  This was one more chance to avoid cooking.  

They were going out for barbecue with Bud and Susie.  Our first choice was closed but the second choice was great.  We went to Stubby's and it was perfect.  Of course, we stayed so long it was almost dinner time when we left.

George helped us put in a bracket for our GPS after we returned.  It will clear off some of the junk on the dash.  We sat outside for awhile and chatted with George and Linda.  They are leaving the fifth wheel here in storage and traveling back to Casa Grande.  It is a surprise so I'll let you know soon what's up or maybe they will comment with the reason.

We were tired and decided to watch a little TV and skip the campfire tonight.
