WOW……did we ever sleep last night!!! We had turned on the a/c to get rid of the humidity, even though the temps did not warrant the use of it to cool down TheHowserHouse………and losing the humidity kept us sleeping soundly until almost 8am!!
As I looked out across the rv park, it appeared that there weren’t many, if any, others who were out and about very early. I had my Fr. Roast coffee….(where were you Doug?) and the 1st Lady had her tea….and then we began to wander around the park visiting with others who were enjoying the morning.
We have such a wonderful compatible group!!!! It has always been said that RV’ers are the friendliest people that you can find……and I certainly believe this is true! We knew if from our winter journey when we met sooooo many other rver’s …..and now, well this Cedar Creek RV Owners Club is really, really something special!!!! We have become friends soooo quickly with this group, of which most of them we have not known for more than a year at the most, and yet with each passing hour, these friendships become closer and tighter!!
By the end of the day tomorrow, we will have 27 units here from as far away as California and Nevada to South Carolina, and a couple of rigs from Ontario in Canada. What a cool sight it is to look across the park and see all of these various Cedar Creek 5’ers sitting there connected with their umbilical cords to their power posts…….the posts that can give them soooo much life and energy to furnish their needs for luxurious living while “camping”……..it is REALLY camping?????? I think not…….at least not as we used to know and understand as “going campin’”.
There are many different styles and floor plans, as well as different years/models of Cedar Creek 5er’s. All of them have different amenities……..mine has a fireplace, surround sound, central heat/cooling, microwave/convection oven, a desk, king sized bed, great shower, etc., etc., and some even have a washing machine and dryer on board. Not like the original tent camping, is it?
I still find myself amazed at how many people, not only Cedar Creek owners, but other rv’ers who are reading my blog…..daily! And because of these many, many readers……I feel sooooo damn guilty when I have difficulty getting online as I did last week while camped at the Corps of Engineers cg at Mark Twain Lake. I want to thank many of you who wrote to me concerned about me and the lack of my blog posts!!! Nice to be wanted and needed……hahaha!!
Today…….after the morning passed by in visiting and endless chattering with many of our fellow Creekers…….a “Duck” drove into the park to pick us up and take us on a ride through town and then into Lake Delton. By “Duck”….I mean the kind of vehicle that drives on land and also can drive right into the lake and operate as a boat. We had a great time…..even though the “tour” and sights were not overwhelming! The 1st Lady and I had been on a “cruise” on the upper end of the Dells by boat three years ago…..and quite frankly, the scenery and the cruise on that trip was much more interesting and prettier than today’s. However, that being said…….the trip on the “duck” was fun, even though a wee bit cramped for many of us who have a few problems with “Uncle Arthur” in the joints.
Returning back to the park, the 1st Lady and I went over to WalMart Supercenter to pick up some food items for the next few days. This was a nice one……clean, wide aisles, and not crowded AT ALL!!!! GREAT!!!!
Many of the Creeker family went out to a restaurant for the evening meal, however, the 1st Lady and I fixed ourselves a ham sandwich and some corn on the cob……a Corona with a lime slice….and just sat back and enjoyed the early evening outside as we dined and wined. A very pleasant way to begin the evening!!!!
I had called a committee meeting for 8pm at TheHowserHouse…….the nominating committee to select the candidates for the national Club secretary, treasurer, and asst. treasurer. As of tonight, I can’t discuss the nominees because they have not all been contacted for their “ok”…..and some of them are avid readers of this blog.
Anyway…..our meeting was over rather quickly, but the guys remained and we chatted about our individual lives and occupations and travels for over an hour. It was a GREAT way to get to know each other better…….as small groups are always the best way to learn about each other!!!!
As I write this, the raindrops are beginning to patter on the rooftop……as predicted! And…..they are supposed to hang around for tomorrow, also…….UGH!!!!! Oh well……we have a shelter are where we can hang out and discuss our rv’s and our travel’s if the rain continues. The rest of the week there are activities scheduled if we want to join the various little jaunts around the area. The 1st Lady and I will be going on the tour of a cheese factory close by here…….and we also want to get down to the “city center” to do some shop looking……of course!
Ahhhhh……..a relaxing day……a day of enjoying our friendships…..a day of just visiting and, of course….riding the “duck”. What more could we ask for?!!!
Life is GREAT….and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
