Work is the refuge of people who have nothing better to do.
Sunday was Father’s Day and we took a break out of our touring activities. Actually Marsha and Paul wore us out. Or, was it the other way around?? We really aren’t sure who was to blame but we do know we took the day off.
It wasn’t really supposed to be a Father’s Day outing or the actual celebration of it for us. Remember the Texas reunion for Sabrina’s family? Well, Sabrina was still there and we had already decided that this family would celebrate Father’s Day on the following Sunday -- the 24th. When we made that decision we didn’t think all three fathers -- Terry, Lee and Robert – would be around on the 17th. We thought Lee would be in Texas along with Sabrina. After looking at the weekend flights he decided not to go after all. The flights were tight and he didn’t feel like spending a day or two at the airport if he didn’t have to. Who could blame him?
We did get together for breakfast. That’s the one thing we did do together on Father’s Day and before we each went our own way. After that Terry and I hung blinds, watered plants, shoveled gravel and then filled up on watermelon. The good weather was still hanging around in this location but Monday a few clouds were expected to bring a some drops of rain. It’s better to shovel gravel on a nice day than a rainy day. Ask me how I know that?
That’s right there was no touring for us. We had work to do. Finishing up on this little summer home base project is at the top of our priority list. We need to get it done so we have play time. The goal is to spend at least a few nights there this summer. We hope we can make that happen.
We did have time to have a “Last Supper” at the Elks with Marsha and Paul. They are still in touring mode and have so much left to see and do on their whirlwind trip. It was fun. We had a great time. It was so nice to be able to take a little break. However, now I’m wondering if hitch itch is contagious because I’m starting to think we need to get back on the road a bit. However, there still is work to do. I guess that goes with having an RV and also a home base. I'm beginning to think it won't be finished this year. Besides what's the rush?
‘Tis life on the road.
Great photo of the family. You got to get Terry to smile more. Make him walk around the place saying cheese, cheese, cheese.
ReplyDeleteWe had a marvelous time with you two. so glad we got to meet up! Hope you post some of your remodeling photos.
Always nice to have family get togethers and celebrate, any excuse will do right?
ReplyDeleteThe hitch itch is contagious, your home base project will always be there when you return. Have fun and enjoy.
Some day off, that breakfast looked like quite the party. But then, we've come to expect that of you.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever sit down? And on the ATV doesn't count. ;c)
Who's that Paul has his arm around? That's not the Marsha I know. :)
