A REAL Cold front - Good-bye to Bevingtons

What a difference one day makes. For the last month we've been having temp's in the 90's & 100's with a cold front (lowered to high 80's) once in awhile. For the last two days we've pretty much stayed inside with heat index's well over 100 and humidity in the 60-70% range. So when they talked about another cold front moving through this morning I didn't get too excited. Well about 9:00 the wind shifted out of the N/W and the temperature started dropping. It's currently 64 degrees which is about 40 degrees colder than yesterday. Needless to say the shorts went back in the drawer and long pants were brought out. Larry's still a die hard and refuses to go with the big boy pants but with low's tonight in the mid 50's he might change his mind tomorrow. The first thing I did was open windows and the door to let some fresh air in here after being closed up with the air conditioner on the last month. The second thing I did was close the windows back up but at least left the door open - way to cold.

Wednesday
This seemed to be our ice cream day. David/Linda Cypcar had to take their trailer in for some work before they leave at the end of the month for up north. When they got back we jumped in the car and headed over to DQ for a lunch of a Blizzard. Can't ask for more. Than that night Baskin Robbins was having a 31 cent scoop so we couldn't pass that up and went over with Donna/Grant Zinneckerg's.

Thursday
This was suppose to be the coolest day of the week so we decided to make a quick trip down to Mexico with the Zinneckerg's. I always like going down there but than I always ask myself why. It's pretty much the same things in the stores/booths and this time of year the street vendors have closed. I picked up some vanilla and that was the big purchase for the day. We stopped at a awning place to pick up new awnings that Donna/Grant ordered for the trailer. Than over to Gonzales for one of those huge hamburgs. Larry and I always split one and I still wasn't able to finish my half.

Friday
Got a call early that morning from the guy that washed/waxed the trailer. He wanted to come that day instead of next week to do the other trailer which was fine with us. Again they did a good job on cleaning it plus we had him put this roof guard on since it's down here year round.

Happy hour was at Dave/Sue McCarrons under their just completed Pergula on their patio.
Even tho it was quiet warm that day it was nice sitting under this and enjoying being outside.

This was also our "see you later" time with Bill/Kathie Bevington who were leaving early the next day. They are working their way up to IN for a rally there before going home to Windsor Ontario to see the family. Safe travels to you and hopefully we can meet up this summer.

Saturday
Not much happening that day. I was on the computer in the afternoon working out our route to South Dakota and trying to find campgrounds we would fit in. Sometimes this can be a challenge as we don't like having to unhook everything for one night so need a nice long pull thru. With the help of our friends Doug/Jutta Franks that drove a lot of this route last fall I have several suggestions.

Sunday
No happy hour today as this would have been Quinns night and they are up in KS. Normally we sit outside around 4pm and if someone wants a happy hour they come over. But it was just too darn hot to sit outside. So Zinneckerg's suggested a trip to Excalibur's for dinner. Sounded good to us, wanted to get my bake potato with all the fixings one more time. Plus the frozen margarita wasn't bad either.

Monday
As I mentioned above the cold front came and is suppose to be with us a couple of days. Larry pulled the batteries out of the truck and checked those. He's pretty much got everything in the truck/trailer he want's to take home as far as tools etc for doing the house. I have a few things to finish inside than we'll be ready to go. When we leave depends a lot on what the weather does but looking at around the 13th or 14th. Received our mail for the last time today from SD. I only order this once a month and this envelope cost me $3.81. Only because there was a flier from this truck place that Larry ordered something from. We normally get 3-4 pieces a mail a month. How many people can say that.

So guess that's it for now. A big Welcome to new hits this pass week goes out too:

Annona TX, Washington DC, Mountain WI, Allen Park MI, Nashville TN, Tecumseh MI, Federal Way WA, Morrison CO, Rochester MI, Antioch CA, Bay Shore NY, Merelbeke Belgium, St Paul MN, Canmore Canada, Willmar MN.

Till next time.......................................
