After a very good night sleep last night, best in a long time, the day quickly because like a day of holding court! First Elaine stopped by to see how we were doing when she saw me out doing my horse chores, and chatted for a while, then the couple I met yesterday, Lisa and Rick came by and chatted for another 45 minutes or so, borrowing my ladder to fix a cover over their air conditioner, then Patty came by and visited for a while, until finally I had to go make Hubby breakfast, and after she left I managed to finish my chores. I had put the horses out in the area in front of the trailer that I wanted trimmed, because I was afraid the ground wasn’t getting dry enough for us to be able to get out, and they did a fine job with that today! Then, shortly thereafter, my old high school buddy Donna from Cleveland arrived and we spent almost all afternoon catching up, chatting and snacking. Another trailer came in with a couple of day riders, and a big Kiefer livestock trailer showed up with another couple, and I went a chatted with them for a few minutes because they looked like they might be parking in an area that I knew was too soft for them (which they suspected as well), and they did managed to find a good spot across the road from us. Eventually Donna had to head out, and the day riders left, leaving us and our new neighbors the place to ourselves. Evidently they’re staying until Wednesday. The woman came and asked me about the trails, and I showed her my Google earth map that had an overlay of the local trail map, as well as the GPS of the trails I actually took (which matched in very few places!!), and so they know now to take their GPS with them when they ride this week. I’m hoping to get a ride in as well, but there’s rain forecast for Tuesday, so it may have to be just a short ride tomorrow, but we’ll see. The weather was perfect today, we had a wonderful breeze so that even the screen room didn’t get too warm for a change. I had pulled the barbecue grill out and we had a grilled dinner tonight, me with steak and Hubby with a Beer bratwurst, along with a baked potato. What a wonderful, relaxing day! Now I’m beginning to remember why we love it on the road so much, I actually have time to just sit and relax! Whoo-hoo!
