We've Been Relaxing

It has been a nice 2 1/2 weeks here at Cloud 9 Ranch in Caulfield, MO.  Usually we move from campground to campground, but this time we have stayed at Wilder Springs.  Gene set up my screen room, put out the awning and we have stayed put.  My view has been of the little meadow, the section of the creek where the ATVs cross over, birds, butterflies, a deer sighting and even the groundhog showed himself a couple times.  The weather has been hot and only on Monday night did we get rain.  Hopefully enough so the burn ban can be lifted and we can have a campfire.
Our new friends, Ron and Carolyn, enjoy the fishing here.  On Monday, 18th, we joined them for a grilled fish dinner.  It was great getting to know them and we've spent time visiting back and forth.  
Our friend Rose invited us to her home on Sunday, 24th, with other friends, for a delicious meal and fellowship.  She homeschools her teenage children, Maggie and Noah, and they are all a blessing to be around.
On Wednesday, 27th, RVs started pulling in for the Labor Day weekend.  By Thursday evening, the ATVs were out in good number and the rest of the weekend was pretty noisy from before dawn to after midnight.  The bright spot of the weekend was the Elmores concert at the chapel Sunday morning.  They sing a variety of Southern gospel and inspirational songs and it was most enjoyable.
Today we drove into Caulfield, about 6 miles, ate lunch at The Hitchin Post, and bought some groceries  at Dollar General.  Since we were out and about, we stopped at the Clubhouse so I could check my emails and post my blog.  Gene has walked up to the Clubhouse several times to watch the US Open and has been able to get wifi at the bathhouse at the other end of the Wilder campground.  I have not been that ambitious.  I have enjoyed sitting in my screen room, reading and generally taking it easy.
We plan to leave Cloud 9 Ranch on Monday, 8th and take our time traveling home.  My Mommy, Grammy, Great-Grammy heartstrings are being pulled upon and it's time to go home to see everyone. 
So, until my next post, God's blessings to all our friends and family.
