Day 10: A GREAT DAY AT THE RALLY!!!!!!

WOW……what a wonderful fun day at the 2nd International Cedar Creek RV Owners Club Rally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The day began a bit late for the 1st Lady and I as we just kind of slept in for a change…….and therefore we missed the Waffle Breakfast. However….that is better for our increasing poundage that becomes sooooo evident at each of these rallies which we attend.

The morning was here and gone by the time we walked around the campground and visited and laughed and talked with all of the other members who were doing the same thing: visiting and laughing and talking with all the other members!! What a great way to begin a fun day……

The 1st Lady and I had lunch and then before long we decided to run into town and doing some window shopping. Here at the Dells, the “downtown” is much like Branson or Osage Beach, MO….or any other tourist area that has been around for many years. The buildings here at the Dells are the old stores that are no longer in business as a “regular” business…..but are now Fudge Shops, T-Shirt Stores, Old-Tyme Photo Shops, etc., etc., etc……..you know the kind of places that I am talking about, don’t you? Nothing much of interest……or of value to those of us who have lived long enough to visit these touristy towns many times in our lives.

We returned and before long we were in “Happy Hour” with the Club members…..and it did begin to get a little loud…..hahaha!!!! It was a GREAT time………and we were enjoying sooooo much being with everyone, which includes our good friends, Jim and Sherry from St Louis, who just arrived this afternoon. WOW……did we have a great time……and it didn’t take long for me to overdose myself on my dark red medicine. And….Jim was on the same medicine….and amazingly he has the same prescription as I do!!!!

After an hour of appetizers and vino, we had dinner of which the main entrée was Wisconsin Brats served with the trimmings and many various salads and other sides. VERY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God…..but did I eat way tooooooooo much!!!!! Sure glad I missed the Waffle Breakfast this morning……whew!

I have many pictures from the Happy Hour and Dinner, but will only post a few this evening. After dinner, we joined many of the others around the campfire for some more memorable times………

Tomorrow morning we are off to a neighboring village to visit and tour a Cheese Factory!!!! YUM…YUM!!!!! Should really be interesting. Then I have a meeting at 1:30pm and in the late afternoon we are all going out to dinner at one of the local restaurants…….egads!!!! MORE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Saturday morning……a carry-in brunch…..MORE FOOD!!!!! What the hell am I going to do?????? My body is sagging and gravity is taking over more each day………I am being pulled downward with each and every meal!!!!!!!

Yep…….are we having a good time???????????? Your DAMN RIGHT!!!!!! These fellow club members are the best!!!!! This is where it is all happening!!!!!!! Those who have missed this Rally have absolutely NO idea of the great times that they have missed….and those who are not members…..well, that is a damn shame!!!!

We are beginning to plan our fall trips: We have a District Rally in Carthage, Missouri in late September….and then the second week of October we are seriously considering going to Albuquerque for the Balloon Race!!! Many members are going out and it will be such great fun to be there at that time…..hmmmmmm, really need to get serious about deciding to go!!!!

You know……..how can it get much better than this?????? Not sure it can……but it doesn’t matter because…..

LIFE IS GREAT!!!!!!! And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
