Good morning from God's Country, perfectly clear sky to the East this morning.  It appears to be a bit breezy outside with the branches waving about.  Two of our group of campers finished winterizing yesterday morning, said their goodbyes and are now gone until next spring.  Things yet to do In the big city were calling them back south, so they closed up early.  Now there are only eight of us left, in our area.

  Our friends phoned us yesterday, and they will arrive around 10 am this morning.  Not sure if it is for the day, or if they plan on staying for night!  We will have to see how things unfold, so to speak.

  Susan and I managed to get more things organized, some cleaning done, and now have some things ready to be loaded in the car, for the return trip home.  I managed to get the awning into its traveling and stored position, barbecue covered, and the patio furniture umbrella stored!  Then the heavens opened up and a few rolling thunder storms passed threw!  When I was storing the awning to my amazement, I discovered one of my awning arm sliding supports was broken!  This was done when we had had a bad wind storm threw earlier in the season.  Other people throughout the park replaced their awnings through insurance.  I was not going to bother, as I only had a slight tear, and made a quick repair with some awning tape!  I have the broken part, and shall take it home.  If it cost's to much to replace, then I suppose we shall replace the whole awning, though I cannot see this small part costing that much.

  Susan and I were out for a bit last night to sit at a camp fire, first one in quite a while.  We got to meet some new friends from the village, permanent residents.  We did not stay out late because of my headache, but it was nice to be out to meet new people, just the same.

  Today is supposed to be the big day, for breaking of the ground, for the new cabins across the way.  I believe they are to be called, "Knotty Pine Resorts", to be opening Spring/ Summer of next year, 2013.  We wish them well.

  With this breeze blowing, I think I will dress warmly, and just sneak off and try a few holes of golf.  This I could get done before our guests arrive for the day.  I am sure after they arrive, there will be many discussions how we are making out, especially on our goals and plans at Building the Simple life.......................
