Wednesday, June 2, 2021 – Third Full Day at Loretta Lynn Summer Ride

Hi Babe!
Hard rain for much of the night, so sleep was fitful for everyone. It had already been decided that no one would be riding today, so we slept in a little bit, then decided to do spend the morning doing the tour through the Butcher Holler cabin, the mansion, and the museum, though I also did laundry off and on all day. We headed over after breakfast, managed to get the first two guided tours done, went back for lunch, then came back to the museum and main street for a couple of hours. Came back for dinner, then stuck around for the horseless rodeo for a bit before another hard storm came in, then we all (including Callie) retired back to the trailer, then eventually INTO the trailer because the rain got so heavy and the wind was pushing the screen room in. I had just pinned down the screen room the other day, and bought new and better clamps to attach the screen room to the awning, and despite the strong winds, everything seemed to hold just fine, thank goodness! Then we lost electricity for a little while, then when the lights came back on, spent the rest of the evening chatting and playing Euchre, after teaching it to Maggie and Callie, who had never played. By about 10:00, the rain seemed to have stopped, Callie and I won the game 11-2, and we all broke up for the evening. We all took out showers and headed off the bed. With all the rain, Maggie decided to sleep inside in one of the recliners, but Sandy was still dry enough to sleep in her cot-tent, which we had put under the awning before the rain. Now I’m off to bed, at last! Good night, sweetie! Love you!
