Humid warm day

Got up around 7.30 am and played lazy. It's a humid warm day outside. I have been enjoying the outdoors. I'm in shorts & t-shirt! They have been posting storm watches and tornado warnings around the area but so far lucked out. Plans to go to the beach has been put on hold. Decided it was best to stick around here with all the storms going on around the Gulf.

So instead took the dogs for a walk and talked to the neighbor who had a couple of boys get into his truck yesterday morning early and his dog woke him up and he chased them off. The sheriff stopped by today and apparently not to far from here they stole a truck. Not sure if the sheriff was just kidding or serious but he told the neighbor and hubby next time to just shoot em and then he'd come toe tag em, they don't put up with thieving around here!! Hmmmm .....

The host says this is the first in about 8 years for anything like this to happen in this park. It is patrolled pretty good. It's 79!!! Had some weird neighbors today. Here is a picture of Jerry working. He works very hard & keeps the park beautiful! Jerry & his wife are from Nebraska. They spend their winters here volunteering. He said they are on their 5th year.

This elder couple pulled in and parked a few sites over from me and she sure was throwing some fits. It's a probably a good thing she wasn't speaking English as I'm not sure i want to know what she was saying. Got quite a eye full today from her as well. was sitting on the couch and looked out the window and all could see was bare butt! She had went to the bathroom on the blacktop instead of walking a few feet and going to the restroom. They setup and cooked out and then they left. She sure did make a lot of noise the entire time she was here. She screamed non stop. I didn't dare take their picture as I'm not sure how she would of reacted. It seemed it took very little to set her off, from what i observed.

Earlier it was very warm outside, but this evening has been wonderful. I have my windows and door open and it feels great to be able to open things up and let some fresh air in! There is a nice gently cool breeze coming in the windows. The dogs are enjoying laying on the steps and looking outside. I took them outside earlier and they enjoyed it so much, they refused to come back indoors. They just looked at me like i was crazy. This evening before dark, took the dogs on a nice long walk and stopped and visited with a few of our neighbors. Chloe (pug dog) & her dad are from New Hampshire and on his way to Texas. Here is a picture i took of Chloe & her dad (John) sitting outside.

Ken is from the local area in Mississippi. He is pretty interesting to chat with. There is another couple here is from Tennessee. Several others pulled out today. I have had a great time visiting and getting to know the others here.


Haven't decided for sure how long am staying. Just playing it day by day. Still want to do some more site seeing, so it's looking like will stay through the weekend.

Here are some pictures of campsite. Ms. Southwind is on very nice site. It's large and on an end next to the woods. It's so beautiful here!



Dinner tonight was mac & cheese.
I talked to my oldest son and grand daughter tonight. They said it's cold and muddy there. Sure makes me glad I'm in the south where it's nice and warm. It's a beautiful night tonight. Planning to head to the beach tomorrow and spend the day relaxing along the Gulf of Mexico.

Until tomorrow ..............
