Hi everyone!
It's been a busy month here. I hope this new posting finds everyone well. We are doing great here. Sue has lost 67 lbs thus far and looking and doing really good. I corrected her loss on the last Blog as I was a little off ....... kilter :-)

We have had over 3 inches of rain past week, so it's been pretty easy to keep the grass green. Tuesday morning we watered the lawn and garden in front of the Gate House. That same morning the neighbors washed both of their vehicles so I figured I better wash ours too. The old adage goes, "If you want it to rain, wash your car". Well then it rained Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.

We started a new job in addition to our regular Gate Attendant Position at Cedron Creek Park. There is another Camp Ground across the lake from Cedron called McCown Valley Park. Part of it is a Day-Use Park, where people come to swim, picnic, play horse shoes or use the Equestrian Trails. It is a separate area from the Camp Ground and has it's own Gate House. The people that had the contract for that Gate had some medical problems and had to quit, so We figured we weren't doing anything else on the weekends anyway, so we bid on it and they put us to work right away. We worked there Friday, Saturday and Sunday over Memorial weekend so we had 11 days in a row, on duty. That was a good way to get our feet wet on a new job, but we won't have to keep up that pace all the time. Now we work Monday through Thursday at Cedron, Take Friday off and work Sat and Sunday at McCown. It only gives us 1 day a week off but it pays pretty well, we set our own hours and besides, we can't spend any money while working. The Day-Use has a lot more traffic, so we enjoy the faster pace for 2 days and then go back to our regular job to rest up for 4 days.

We have a new batch of Fawns at our regular park. We came home last Saturday night and noticed one of our pregnant Does lying in the grass in a meadow just out from our Gate House at Cedron Park. When our headlights swept across her, she slowly got up, and ambled towards the woods. I told Sue that "I bet She has her Fawn tonight. Well she didn't show up for her morning breakfast clutch of Corn in front of our motor home the next morning nor on Monday. Well Tuesday I got a glimpse of her fawn as Momma Doe briefly brought the fawn by the Gate House that morning as if to say "Look What I Have". Then as quickly as they appeared, they vanished into the woods again.

Thursday afternoon while I was staring out the Gate House window, there appeared 4 Does (the mother does with their respective yearling does) along with their new-Born's. The yearlings have been sort of acting as nurse maids for the past 2 weeks, following their mothers everywhere, cleaning them all over, warding off insects and chasing off the bucks while the Pregnant Does ate our corn. Well as the 4 older ones were grazing, the two Little fawns were frolicking in the field and all of a sudden the fawns tore off in opposite directions, one across the road and the other into the woods. At first the adults were running in circles trying to determine which scent they should chase after. I just sat there laughing while they circled around and finally 2 went each direction to round up the younguns. I have yet to capture the little darlings with the camera.

We heard via the Internet Grapevine that our friends Dick and Judy Mott had some roof damage on their motor home while Workamping up in Colorado, and had to have their whole roof replaced. I really feel sorry for those guys as it has been one problem after another with their motor home ever since we met them. I sure hope their luck changes soon!

We had an unfortunate incident happen last weekend. One of our guest was hosting a get-together for his daughters Wedding at our Park. They got Married at another Camp Ground just across the lake to the north of us Saturday night. Instead of taking cars across the bridge and a mile down the road, they evidently took some boats up there. After the wedding, evidently they were partying on the boats and diving off the back of the Brides' Dad's boat. One of the young girls (20) dived off and never resurfaced. They found her body about 6:30am in 80 feet of water. What a horrible way to remember your wedding!

On the lighter side.... (Heard on the Waco 100, Radio Station) Why do Chicken Coops only have 2 doors??????? If they had 4 doors, they'd be called Sedans!

I have no pictures to post today as My adapter card is at the Motor Home, but I will try to edit them in tomorrow.

I hope everyone enjoys my rendition of our little adventures..............
Thanks for stopping by!.................
