A Fun Time At Hershey Preserve!

What a beautiful day with plenty of sunshine, a mild breeze, and temperatures in the mid to upper 80's.  Ken was up early and went to the LR to read, but did fall back to sleep.  I crawled our around 7:45.  We headed outside to have chai and tea enjoying the great view and the mild, low humidity morning.  Doloris stopped by to visit (Fred had left for work at 5) and by 9:30 Ken and I were having a great breakfast outside.

Sitting in front of Waldo enjoying my chai and looking at the lake!
Nice view, huh??????

We left around 10 to go to Hummelstown to check out the new apartment complex Ken's former co-worker in Real Estate, Kevin, is a partner in developing and managing.  There will be 6 apartment buildings when completed and the 1st building was just finished and the 1st tenants moved in the end of June.  We went through the furnished 2 bedroom, 2 bath and it was so nice.  A great housing opportunity for new doctors who are training or working at the Hershey Medical Center which is only about a mile away.

Back to the CG to have lunch and then we drove to the Rails Trail parking at Colebrook and walking about 4 miles round trip.  It was hotter than we had anticipated as a lot of the walk was out in the open and it was very sunny.  But, it was a beautiful walk and we were able to get almost 10,000 steps.

Some of the trail is walking through the woods.......

.....some is open and you walk by horse farms.

We returned to the CG around 3:30 and I spent about an hour reading under the shade of a huge tree behind our campsite.  Also talked to my mother, Lanie, and my sister.  We are still struggling to understand what is needed medically for my father.  We haven't been able to talk to his Dr. and we keep getting conflicting reports from the urology office.  They want us to schedule an appointment for him, but no one seems to know what will be done at that time.It is so frustrating! Ken showered and spent time on his I-Pad downloading some books.  I showered while Ken rested and then we went to Martin's campsite to cook over a campfire including roasting corn on the cob, but we ate at Waldo because of having more shade at our picnic table.

Then up to their site to play 4 games of ladder golf and the men won 3.  Fun time.  Played til dark and then into their 5th wheel to play Skip-Bo (women victorious) and then Up the River which the men won.  A great evening of fun and special treats - delicious cheese and apple pie moonshine!  Back to Waldo at 11:45 but we all took time to enjoy the full moon which is actually a Blue Moon since it is the 2nd full moon this month!

What a beautiful full moon!

This has been a special day with special friends!
