Happy Fire Cracker day to everyone!!


Cheri left early with Nikki as they have a project at Nikki’s painting the half bath in the basement. I worked on the rear camera project on the 5th wheel. I finished the installation around 4:00 pm. All I have left to do is readjust the camera which I will do tomorrow as I was too tired to get it done today. By the time I got all the tools put away it was after 4:30 pm. I was hot and sweaty and needed a shower. It was 88 degree today with a lot of sun and no shade to work in. Nikki and Cheri got back around 5:00 pm. Coz came about 5:30 pm and we had left over Italian Sausage Rigatoni for supper. I think it was better today than it was yesterday. Coz left for work at 6:15 pm and Cheri, Nikki and I played a game of Hand and Food that Cheri won. Nikki left at 8:30 pm as she has to work tomorrow and want to get to bed early. Cheri and I watched a little TV and went to bed as we were both tired from our busy day. There sure were a lot of fireworks going off all around us.

We went to the 9:00 am church service this morning and then on the way home we stopped at Wal-Mart. Cheri want to get her hair cut and when we walked in she didn’t have to wait so I started looking around in Wal-Mart. It wasn’t long and she called me and said she was done. Cheri had a long list of groceries she needed. Can’t believe how big the shopping carts are getting. I can remember when it cost us $40 to fill a grocery cart and today we spent $198 and the cart wasn’t full. We are finding out it is tough living on a fixed income and everything keeps going up, I remember Dad and Mom saying the same thing twenty years ago, some things never change. After lunch Nikki came over and we played Hand and Foot. Nikki is really getting into the game. Later Coz stopped in on his way to work and we had time to play one game with him before he had to leave. Cheri fixed a new dish for supper called Italian Sausage Rigatoni. It was very good; hope she makes it again sometime. After supper we played another game of Hand and Foot. Here is a picture of the sunset we watched while playing cards.

Not much to write about today. It was a nice day with the temp in the high 80’s and breezy. Cheri spent the day going through her quilt books and reading. I also saw here looking at recipes. Nikki is coming over for supper tonight maybe we are having something new for supper. Coz is working nights now from 7:00 pm until 7:00 am, so they don’t get to spend much time together because Nikki works days. I spent the day running the cable for the new rear camera I got for the 5th wheel. Yep you’re right it is another camera project for the 5th wheel. In fact it is the third one. The first one was a wireless camera and that never had a steady pictures so this spring I removed it and put on a cheap hard wired one that I bought at Harbor Freight. It worked one time after I got it installed and it didn’t have a good enough view of the back. So here I go again. This time I bought a hard wired camera system with all the wiring and monitor for the truck. Well it took me all day to run the cable from the front of the 5th wheel to the back and top location for the camera. I did get the camera mounted and all that left to do on the 5th wheel is secure the cable to the underside. While I was under the 5th wheel I see a place where the factory put in a new rail for one of the slide outs has already broke away from the frame, a very poor welding job. They also didn’t reattach the cables that run along the frame in that area. So tomorrow I am going to take pictures and send them to the factory to see what they are going to do for me. By the time I got everything put away it was 5:30 pm. Yep Cheri made something new for supper called pineapple casserole, doesn’t sound very good but I am here to tell you it was very good. She also baked some berry muffins along with a special glaze on the ham. All were excellent. After supper the three of us played a game of Hand and Foot. It is a lot harder to play with three people than it is with four and partners. After Nikki left I settled in and watched the NASCAR Race that I had recorded earlier, Cheri read and also watched with me.

Wow! Can’t believe that June is gone already, how time flies by when we are having fun. Today the wind was so strong that we could be outside to do anything, so with that we settled in for a down day. Cheri gave me a hair cut this morning, good job to have done. Cheri also did some laundry and cleaning. I cleaned the air conditioning filters and dump the black water tank. I had planned on doing some work outside but with the wind it wasn’t possible to do the work I wanted to get done. Coz and Nikki came over around 11:30 am and Cheri fixed lunch for us. They had to leave at 1:30 pm as they had a date with friends to help bottle wine. This afternoon I tried to watch some TV but fell asleep and when I woke up Cheri had been sleeping also. We played a game of Hand and Foot and then back to watching TV. Nikki called us around 4:30 pm and said they were on their way to pick us up to go out for a Friday night fish fry. We went to a place called Country Side that was about 25 miles out in the county that we haven’t been to before. We had heard that the fish was really good. Well they were right as it was the best fish we have had in a long time. We did have a long wait as the place was packed with people waiting, but well worth the wait. When we got back home we taught Coz and Nikki how to play Hand and Foot. The girls beat us guys pretty bad. Of course Nikki really liked the game and I am not sure about Coz, maybe it was because we lost. It was 11:00 pm before we got to bed; I knew there was a good reason why we took a nap this afternoon. Yep the wind was still blowing hard when we went to bed.

Today is the last time we get to spend some time with Darren and Jodi as they have a wedding to attend tomorrow and then they are heading back home to Atlanta. The time we spent together was short but lots of fun. It also is the last day we will get to spend with Cece for a week as she has to go back to her mothers. We were supposed to get rain today but it bypassed us and was sunny most of the day and really too windy to enjoy our motorcycle ride. Jodi came this morning to pick up the motorcycle trailer and Coz, Darren and I rode our motorcycle over to Jodi’s parents place. We visited with them for a while and then it was time for Coz and I to head back to Fond du Lac as Coz wanted to spend the afternoon with Cece before she has to leave in the morning. We had a late lunch of leftover brats and hamburgers. We played one game of SOB which I was lucky to win, first time I have won since we have been here. Then it was movie time. Cece found a movie that she wanted to watch. So we settled in to watch it or I should say I only watched about five minutes of it before I fell asleep. I woke up just as it was getting over. Cheri said it was time for us to go home. Cheri had a nice visit on the phone this afternoon with Pam. She updated us on what has been going on in Florida while we are gone. Thanks Pam as we miss all our Florida friends. This evening Cheri and I got caught up on some of the TV shows that we had recorded. Thanks to God for letting having another day with our family.
