Doing the dirty work

How's this for a honey-wagon!!??!!

Yep, the RV isn't the only place where we have to have tanks pumped out!  Back at home, it was time for this maintenance item -- at least we can go 4 or 5 years between pump-outs!

Lucky for us, Brad noticed that our house is for sale, so while he was pumping out the tanks he also did the tank inspection that is required when you sell a house.  So, we killed two birds with one stone today -- got our tanks all flushed out, and got a certificate stating that our tanks are in good working condition.

Music in the Barn

Saturday was a beautiful day, with blue skies and warm temperatures, so after the boys did a little fishing in the morning (still with no luck!), we headed back to Clear Lake State Park in Atlanta to spend some time at the beach.  We swam for awhile, took Casey swimming, and I read my book for awhile, too.  After a couple hours, we got dressed and went to 4:30 mass at Jesus the Good Shepherd, in Atlanta on the way back to the RV Resort. 

After a quick dinner, we cleaned up and met the rest of the RV-Dreamers in the barn for free music night.

The band was "Chet's Habit", and they were pretty good. 

They played a wide variety of music, and even had Linda join them on stage for quite a while.

The "Barn" is pretty much a multi-purpose facility where they have these music gatherings, as well as quilting retreats.  I'd love to come up for one of those!  They have quilts hanging on all the walls.

On Sunday we go home, and back to work.  It's been a fun week here at Thunder Bay Resort, and we've really enjoyed re-connecting with Howard and Linda (RV-Dreams)

and meeting several other RV-Dreamers.  Everytime we get a small taste of the fulltime RV lifestyle, it just makes us even more anxious to hit the road.  We're still hoping that this will be the year for us!!

Golf (if you can call it that!)

Friday was a beautiful day . . . warm and sunny, with the humidity gone!  Since we drove around so much on Thursday, nobody was interested in going anywhere, so we just hung out at the resort all day.  Tom and the boys went fishing in the morning, and they had a few nibbles and a sighting of the giant catfish, but weren't catching much.  They wanted to golf, so after fishing they spent some time warming up on the practice green.

Twilight rates started at 3:30pm, so that was when we planned to hit the course.  The first hole was pretty much a disaster, and had us wondering if they gave refunds . . . LOL!  We improved (slightly) from there, and even managed to keep the balls on the correct fairway most of the time!  Nicolas showed the most promise,

and finished in the leader position after our 9 holes.  Tom did OK once he was on the fairway, but was having some trouble with his tee shots.

Bryce did OK too, and managed to come in ahead of me!

He even found a few new golf balls!

9 holes was all we could take, and we went back to the RV for a nap and dinner after that!  What REALLY would have felt good would have been a dip in a pool . . . but there isn't one here!  After dinner, before we even had time to wash the dishes, Linda announced that the polar bears we being processed!  We all gathered at Roger & Joyce's Mobile Suites and enjoyed our ice cream drinks.  Joyce even made non-alcoholic drinks for Nick and Bryce -- she's so nice to them!!  We chatted and drank until the mosquitos chased us inside at 10pm, as usual!  We were still tired from golf, so we hit the sack early . . . no computer or reading tonight!
