RV Trip--Short but fun

Well, our time "back on the road" was short but fun. We continued through this past weekend with our RV Club the Birds of a Feather at the Cedar Valley RV Park in Guthrie, OK. We awoke Saturday morning to a fine meal of biscuits and gravy provided by our camp hostess for the weekend, Judy Burks. (Each time the group has a scheduled weekend meet one of the member couples is assigned duty as Host/Hostess. Their job is to coordinate with the RV Park prior to the group arriving, see that there are donuts and coffee on Friday and Saturday mornings, and insure clean up of the party room that is usually provided by the RV Park.)

Our weather had been very good on Thursday and Friday with temps in the 70's and plenty of sunshine. Friday evening a weather front moved in and dumped some rain on us but also lowered the temps by 20 degrees. It was cool and damp on Saturday morning but it warmed up some during the day. That evening we all got together for our usual pot luck dinner. It always amazes me that, although no one specifies a menu nor asks anyone to bring any specific dish, we always have plenty of food and a great variety. As the first pictures shows we had plenty of food to feed our 16 campers.

After dinner we were entertained with some trivia games brought by our hostess. One was a list of advertising slogans and we had to figure out the product. Another was a list of TV/movie characters descriptions and we had to come up with who they were. The last was a list of names of U. S. cities with the letters scrambled and we had to unscramble the letters to determine the cities name. Some of these were harder than others but Joanne and I were able to win all three games. It helps that we are the two youngest in this group and that I have spent a lot of time in front of the television over the years. George, the past president of this group of merry wanderers, had an accident recently and is off his feet. He had to play the games in a reclining position.
Sunday morning brought cool temps but clear skies. The group started breaking up and slowly the motor homes started to pull out of the park. We were next to last to leave and made the 30 mile trip back to the house. By noon we had the coach unloaded and back in the storage lot. It was fun while it lasted but now we are back to our routine of not doing much while Joanne oversees her mother's cancer treatment.

Glad that you were able to get out, even if only for a short while! We know the feeling well and are looking forward (sort of) to getting the wheels on this thing turning once again! **I have mixed feelings of leaving the new house so quickly** <-- well, once we get in it that is! :-)
