Rain, Rain, All The Day. We're Gonna Picnic Anyway!

It rained most of last week, and all of this weekend, but we got things done in spite of the rain. We focused on indoor work this weekend. John and Dana came down from St. Joe again, and as usual attacked with great vigor the task list.

The kitchen flooring was completed, kitchen cabinets were pulled from the rock house, cleaned, and sanded for installation in the grey house. Other kitchen cabinets were pulled from unoccupied apartments for use in the grey house... The new hot water heater was installed in the house after only 2 trips to Lowes. I think that is a record. Kitchen plumbing leaks were repaired, doors were tweeked so they shut better. The wallboard was pulled off the bathroom walls around the bathtub and a thorough deep cleaning was given to the bathroom. Ahhhh.

Saturday we set out to have a nice picnic during a brief show of sunshine. Rick grilled hotdogs, and Dana set up a lovely picnic table for us with sides and desert. Just as we were ready to sit down and eat, the rain broke out again. We scooped everything up and hurried inside John and Dana's camper for a cozy meal.

We are truly an international attraction. We have enjoyed having guests from Canada several times. This weekend, we had campers from Europe! They are on a 5-week long tour across America. We were quite honored to have them stay with us at Beagle Bay RV Haven & Campground.


Wildlife update:
Gus and Gertie were spotted by Dana, but alas, she did not have a camera available for a photo. We are still trying to get their picture. Gus even stood on his hind legs to get a better look at Dana before scurrying off to his den. (In case you don't know, Gus and Gertie are the resident Groundhogs who live near the houses on the property.)

Bella also had an adventure this weekend. With all the construction work going on at they grey house, doors opening frequently for materials coming in and scrap going out, she slipped out and got on the scent of some critter. She was heard Baying in the woods down by the pond. A search party did not find her, but instead, she came back to the house when the fun was over. I guess she knows where her meals are served.
