A Not So Good Weather Day!

Ken and I only got up around 8:30 - last night was a late one for us!  No one else in our group arose very early either!!

Cloudy with a forecast of heavy showers throughout the day!  We thought we could beat the rain and go for a bike ride in Avalon and Stone Harbor, but not to be!!!  A light rain started around 9:30, so we altered our plans and decided to have a relaxing breakfast and hopefully do the bike ride tomorrow morning!  We shall see!!!  It really started to rain while we were eating breakfast under the awning at Martins, so we headed indoors to clean up.

The 6 of us met inside Willie to play Cue Me, a board game we all really enjoy.  By 1:30 the sun had come out so we quickly changed and headed to the beach.  We were there from 2:15 to 4 when it got very dark.  Just when we got to our rvehicles, it started to rain.  Had some heavy rain on the way back to the CG.  By the time we had all showered, the sun was out again and it was clear and warm the remainder of the evening.  We continued our Cue Me game outdoors and the men won this time.  Men built a fire and we cooked our dinners outside.  It was lovely outside, but the "no seeums" were miserable.   The women minded them a lot more than the men.  Seems they like to get in your hair so obviously they prefer the women over the men.  They don't have enough hair to get caught in!!!!

I went into Willie around 9:30 - I had enough of the bugs and wanted to post on this blog.  Doloris had stayed in following dinner because of the biting bugs.  Sam, Fred, Ken and Kathy decided to take a walk to the lake to star gaze.  They reclined on the chairs at the lake and saw 5 shooting stars.  It was a clear evening with just a slight breeze so the bugs were not a problem.  They loved their time under the stars!

Hopefully we will get to ride bike in Stone Harbor and Avalon tomorrow morning.  Time will tell, but the weather looks promising!
