What A Beautiful Day!

Ken and I were up by 7 and after getting ready and eating breakfast, we headed to the Pickleball Courts!  There were about 12 of us there to play and we had such a good time.  Actually met a couple who are seasonal campers at this CG and they live in the Brickyard in Ephrata only several miles from where we live - amazing!!!  We are the "new kids on the block" and everyone was so friendly and eager to help us learn to play better.  We were able to hold our own, but have lots of room for improvement!  We played for 2 hours and our bodies felt very stiff when we walked back to Waldo.  

Pickleball is so much fun.  These courts were built over
Memorial Day and are even lighted!



Since we arrived in the rain yesterday and it continued a lot of the day, we hadn't unpacked the car or any of our things for outside!  We spent the next hour making the outside of Waldo look like we belonged here.  After lunch we made some necessary phone calls to Lazydays in Florida and also made our 1st reservation for our trip to Florida in January - how exciting!  Fred and Doloris arrived at 1:40 - so good to see them.  Tom and Laura who were camping next to us were leaving today and because they knew our friends would be arriving, they said they would be happy to "hang around" for alittle so Fred and Doloris could have their campsite.  Tom and Laura had an appt. at noon to discuss upgrading their TT Membership.  We thought that would be about an hour meeting, but boy were we wrong.  Martins and us sat around talking waiting for them to return, but they never got back until 4.  We enjoyed meeting Tom and Laura who live in NJ and we hope to meet up with them at Sea Pines in Sept. After they left, Fred and Doloris set-up on their site, a very nice one beside us looking out to the river!

We only ate dinner around 7:45 - hamburgers and Ken's salmon burger made over the open fire, baked beans and salad.  We enjoyed sitting around the campfire and then took a walk to the end of the boating dock here at the CG.  So many stars and we even saw the Milky Way!  Martins made s'mores (Ken and I had unusual restraint!) and then we called it a day around 10:15. 

We have a huge campsite with the fire ring being far from
our RV's and providing us with a great view of the
Piankatank River.

We even got this great photo of a heron!

This is another  shot from the back of our campsite - wow!!!

A relatively new dock right here at the CG!
