Another Day of Doing Nothing

I am not sure what woke me up but my eyes came open and I was trying to see if there was any light coming in around the shades. This is how I know if it is morning. Out here in the woods we have no street lights and when the sun goes down it is D A R K. If there is any light at all coming in around the shades then it is almost sun up. I did not seen any signs of light so I knew it was early. I got up anyway and stumbled into the kitchen to make our coffee. Got the coffee going and by the time I got the cups out and all the fixens to go with it I noticed a hint of light coming through the pines. It was time to get up. Sherri must have heard me banging around so she too got out of bed and came in to have  coffee.

We sat outside for about an hour sipping coffee and making plans for our trip to Kansas next August. The two grand boys in Kansas City have birthdays…same day…no they are not twins. I guess my son has a knack for planning? Anyway we will be traveling to Kansas City for their birthday celebration. We will be taking their cousins…Kris Sarah and Franki along with us to help celebrate.

Planning a trip up there is not hard but finding a campground in that area is impossible! They live South of Bonner Springs and the only campground in that area is Cottonwood RV Park. It is a campground that the NASCAR group uses when the races are going on in Kansas City. Not much to look at but it is only 6 miles from the kids house and we wont have to drive far. There are campgrounds in that area but they are 30 to 40 miles away and we do not want to drive that far everyday to see the kids.

Oh well we planned our route up there and found some places to stop and stay on the way up and some different ones for the return trip. We are excited about getting to see the family and spend some time with them in their beautiful home. We don’t get to see the boys but maybe once a year and then it is only for a day or two. Having to work keeps us from spending more time up there and planning more than one trip a year. We both know that this work thing will soon be coming to an end and things will change.

We spent the rest of the morning inside looking at campgrounds and reading journals. We did get out for lunch and found a great Mexican Restaurant called La Jurita… spelling may not be right but close…food was excellent. We then made a trip to Wally World and bought nothing!!! Now that is something. Back to the lake and back into the AC. It was so hot out today…you could not enjoy the outside at all. I laid down and took a nap and before I knew…it was time to get up and meet some friends of ours for dinner. No that is not all that I do. I do other things beside eat and sleep…when I am not eating and sleeping.

By the way I did not get the boat out yesterday. It was so hot for so long and I just could not muster the strength to pull it out and put it in the water. I might get it together next week end…we will see…
