Red Green would be so proud! 😀
It looked like it might rain this morning, so I decided I’d better get my emergency refrigerator vent cover up. I had planned to tape two bags together, and tape in a couple of pleats so I would have plenty of air volume going in.
But I only had one bag left, so the above is the result. I figured the hot air escaping through the top vent would draw enough cool air in the bottom. It seems to be working, as the refrigerator is maintaining its temperature setting.
BTW, my Red Green book storage is working out great, too. 😀
One of the areas that is level enough to fish from the bank.
Ron didn’t feel like fishing today, so I climbed down to the bottom of our hill, perched precariously on a tree root, and fished by myself. It was kind of nice having the time to myself without hubby or dogs.
My mouth was all primed for fried fish, cheese grits and homemade cole slaw tonight. I was really anticipating dinner! But as time passed, without the first nibble, I started thinking of a Plan B.
Looking toward our site from the boat launch area
We had grilled chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans instead.
Our campfire 🙂

/ August 3, 2013It’s wise to have a plan b. I haven’t gone fishing yet this year. Hope I didn’t buy that permit for nothing.

/ August 3, 2013Oh my! You must get out at least once while the permit is good, Jo! Even if you don’t catch anything, just being out there is so peaceful.

Don’t understand how that vent came off…..never heard of it happening to anyone.
Have fun.

I think I must not have had the right plastic clip secured. I can’t see any other way it could have happened. I’ll be a lot more careful about checking it in the future.

The campground has almost emptied out tonight. It’s just heavenly. Everything you could want in a campground!

/ August 4, 2013I think you either grow up eating grits, or they are a lost cause. I don’t know many converts.
I remember the first time I left the south and stopped for breakfast. I couldn’t believe people served potatoes with eggs! This was back in ’67. We finally found some stone ground grits at Knott’s Berry Farm in California. I was in heaven!
Yeah… the boulders are a nice touch, aren’t they? 😀
