Hello there Adventurous Friends, greetings from South Dakoka. How you doing? We did a lot of camping, enjoyed a couple campfires & did some fishing. This is Sentence a Day where I join others & write a little something about each of my days, wrote in one long drawn out sentence or 2.

* Thurs 2nd - Got groceries & gas, my name was drawn for a $10 in store grocery coupon, got a few things for Grand's visit, M&Ms to go in popcorn & mozzarella cheese sticks, Kevin got the sweet tator plants that he ordered, we planted them after supper.
* Fri 3rd - Kevin reseeded some seeds in the garden, mowed the yard & changed the oil in my car, I folded laundry & put it away, paid a couple bills & balanced the books, we cooked shrimp for supper then rode out to the lake to check out a camping spot.
Week 23* Weekend 4th & 5th - Went to Friends moving sale, got toys, books & movies for the Grands, several blankets for picnics, a camo shirt for Kevin, spent almost all of the $20 bill I took to shop with, went camping out at the lake, built a campfire on the lakebed, roasted cheddar dogs & made smores, did a lot of fishing between the rains.

spot in the Gulch for our camper & the slippers weren't blooming. |
* Fri 10th - Went fishing out at the lake, Kevin caught 3 fish, I caught one, Kevin turned the gas heat off for the summer, I had turned off the baseboards last week.
Week 24
* Weekend 11th & 12th - Went camping up at the pond, did some cooking, reading, riding & walking, not as much walking now that it's snake season, Coworker had almost stepped on a rattlesnake during the week that was at the bottom of her steps, had a couple thunderstorms that produced hail, there was a tornado watch.
 |
Found several areas to walk with
thinner shorter grass. |
 |
Seems one of our favorite camping
activities is eating. |
 |
Rose seems to enjoying camping & exploring just
as much as we do, she often sniffs the flowers. |
 |
| Happy Birthday to Grand Gracie. |
* Mon 13th - Prepared for tornado weather, Kevin unhooked from the camper, we put all vehicles in the garage, I brought in the deck chairs, glad the storm missed us, halleluiah.
