Hi Sweetie,
Had full day today, first with moving and/or installing eight more posts, two on the teal and six on the white trail, which entailed going all the way south, so it was a long drive in my slow tractor, but was glad to get it almost all done! I used one post in a place that I hadn’t originally planned on, but it was necessary, so now I’m one white post short that I’ll need to make up. It’s near the north end of the white trail, though, so it won’t take me too long to run out there and put the final post in. All I have left now is four posts on the yellow trail and a bunch of painting, so I’ll have to wait for James to get me the paint before I can continue. Got back to camp just before 4:00 and spent the next hour checking in new campers that had arrived while I was gone, mostly women who’ve been coming for years, as part of a group, all very friendly, so we ended up chatting longer than usual, so it was after 5:00 when I got back to the trailer and put the grill on. After dinner I was watching a movie, and was falling asleep in my chair by 7:30! Guess I’ve been sitting around too long! Anyway, I finally made it through the movie, which was kind of fun because one of the characters was actually based on my great, great, great grandfather, the first superintendent of West Point Military Academy, but now I’m more than ready for shower and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
