A STAY-AT-HOME KIND OF DAY.

Day 130 – It rained last night and all of today, and the wind gusts increased. The low temperature last night was 55 degrees. The high today was 59 degrees. The rain and wind continued. We didn’t go anywhere. When you stay home all day like this, you find out just how lazy your kitties are!

We, too, were lazy. We caught up on a few things, cooked up some Salmon & Brown Rice for dinners so that we wouldn’t have to do anything else but add Vegetables, and generally didn’t do much else. We played a few rounds of Sequence before dinner, and that was about it. There aren’t many people camping here anymore. Tomorrow is another day.

CROQUE & GRANDOIS.

Day 124 – The threat of rain remained for this afternoon, so we went out for a drive this morning. It was 61 degrees at 7 a.m., very cloudy with no wind. The girls have settled in here and they are happy with the campground. There are still no other campers here, no barking dogs or ATVs roaring around, so they are maintaining their normal schedules of eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, eating, sleeping, playing, and sleeping.

OUT AND ABOUT.

Day 120 – This morning it was 63 degrees when we got up, the same as yesterday’s high temperature. It was very cloudy – it’s not supposed to rain today, but honestly, they rarely get the weather forecast right. Depending on the weather later, we’ll stay around Port au Choix or go for a drive south.
