What's on your agenda for today?

Well,we had great plans for camping tonight-in a cabin,of course. Kids have been here since last night (only 45 minutes from home)One grandson had a game last night,we came but then went home. Tonight we planned to stay. Well,we no sooner cheked in than my grandson came in and said they had been kicked out! Apparently there had been several complaints about the children.chasing bunnies and bumping into RVs,screaming,etc. Well,some of that may have been going on but it was not the children they were accusing. Those kids were all in the cabins asleep at 10pm last night when this supposedly occurred. We know who the culprits were but they were not blamed. So dd and SIL had no choice but to pack up-along with two cabins of friends. All three cabins were kicked out. Two of the cabins had one boy each and the third cabin had only girls. Yet all of the trouble was supposedly was boys. There was no oint arguing with the woman-she is apparently having mental issues,so they just started packing up. Ten minutes into it,the sheriff shows up! She actually called the cops! She told SIL that this is the first time she has ever asked someone to leave-sheriff says he is here at least once a month to escort someone out. He was just rolling his eyes,but nothing he could do. So we may or may not stay-we`ll decide after the football game.
 

Ina, it must be true!

Good grief, Mrs. Robinson. So much for a relaxing weekend. Did your grandson's team win their game at least?

DGD's friend spent the night...while we were at the supper table I asked why we've seen so little of her recently. She's in the marching band, and they practice on Saturdays. All day on Saturdays. 9-5. Thought she looked a little tired. Dang! Band sounds like more than an extra-curricular activity...it sounds like a job. I thought we were put upon when I was in high school because we were required to practice for an hour every morning during the summer, and an hour before school during football season. Even so, band was fun. Where's the "fun" in spending all day Saturday at band practice?

It's so cold here that I took my coffee out to the patio and came right back inside again. 42 is cold. Well, cold compared to the usual 60s or 70s that it's been all summer. Guess it's not summer anymore, darn.

Nothing exciting going on here today. I may dust the TV screen and vacuum up the cat fur. Or not. It's too early to decide.
 
It has gotten really cold here, too. Well, let me qualify that by saying it is really cold here for the South ! Cold for us is 40F degrees, and for some of you living in the northern states, if it only gets to 40F then it is considered a warm night.
So, anyway, in preparing for this "cold snap", I have been out working in the yard this week while it was still nice out there. I dug up the banana plants and the other ones that needed to be inside when the cold weather came, replanted them in pots, and now they are all in the house for the winter.
We are supposed to have nice days for a while yet; so I am hoping to be able to get more of the yard work done that I couldn't do when it was so hot this summer.
I put away the shorts, and got out the sweatshirts and pants, and I think that it is time to get out my knitting and finish up the winter hat that I started last year, and didn't get done with. I usually only knit in the cold weather when it is not so nice to be outside, and that is when we need things like knitted socks, slippers, and hats anyway.
 
Yeah, HFL, get right on that hat because we're supposed to have another polar-vortex winter!

I like your signature line. A lot.
 
It's now 8 AM and at 9:30 I will draw a partner for a 10 AM Petanque Tournament followed by a Pot Luck Lunch. I will get home around 2 PM in time to watch the San Francisco 49er's football game. After the game I will go and see my daughter and a couple of the great grand kids. I think I will have Thai Take Out for dinner tonight, then a bit of TV.
 
Today's the day we say goodbye to our camping friends. most are leaving today for the winter season. Always hard to see it end but for us, it means another trip away for the cold weather. Will,load up car tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday winterizing camper from the winter weather. Wednesday, the Kia heads south for 1310 miles.
 
Hubby and I just got in from our 5 mile walk.. and a stop for a nice breakfast. It was pretty brisk earlier, but it's warmed up a bit...at least it's sunny today. Now I will do some laundry and he is going to mow the lawn. Not many more mows before putting up the mower for the winter.. I'm making pesto crusted roast chicken and couscous stuffing for dinner..
 
I can't do a lot since my oxygen level drops if I turn my head to look out the window, LOL, and I do exaggerate if you didn't figure that out;) But I am comfy here with my sis, we have lots of good eats, both of us eat lots of fruit now, and we have leftover chicken enchiladas for tonight. We had real, cream-puffs for desert lastnight (hadn't had one in years). I am reading a lot lately, posting again on SF (which is way fun, and lifts my spirits). I am researching an area that I think I am in love with, an excellent, small-town I may just get to move to. I have a great, hidden-object game that is keeping my brain exercised (ok, every, little bit helps) and it's a beautiful day on the Oregon Coast, about low 70s again today, a little humid, but we are enjoying it, especially in October;)

Yes,both boys` tems won. High school Friday night 50-0! Last night`s 11 yo won 26-6. Both have excellent teams.

So yes,they were kicked out of the campground. And even the campground`s FB page talks about how she kicks everyone out-with no warning and no discussion. I really think she has mental issues. Anyway,because everyone we were there with either got kicked out or decided to leave in protest,we left too. We all went to our friend`s who live right up the road from us and had a fabulous BBQ there. Kevin has his whole property (2 acres) set up with a Western theme and it`s so much fun. He has a huge bar with a roof over it that seats about 20 people. He even built a "bathhouse." He had stamped concrete pathways put in that look like wooden sidewalks. Pretty neat. Anway,we sat out there til after midnight and laughed til we cried at the recounting of everyone`s encounters with the "wicked witch". Ended up bein a very fun night after all!

Wow, first I saw of this!! Your area sounds way exciting! So if I come down that way, best keep some money in my mattress to use as "bail" yeehaw!! You guys sound like my kinda peeps, LOL!! Just joking, must have been a big pain to have to up and leave the place. Sounds like it came out well, in that later posting I read about you all going to your friends "Western Style" party place!! Does he have a mechanical bull? Always wanted to try one of those, LOL!!
 
I guess today isn't Wednesday yet so it's off to work I go. Today's excitement is that I get to tote my trash to the curb this morning before I leave. Life in the fast lane!
 
Musical day today. This afternoon, I have a rehearsal with the chorale I sing in, then home to watch the Nationals/Giants game (our last chance at the playoffs), and this evening a rehearsal with the recorder society.

That society is fun; we meet twice monthly, though I usually go only once a month. We play all kinds of music on all kinds of recorders, and often sound much better than you'd expect!

Her loss! Does she refund the camping fees when she tosses folks out? I bet not...

She says she refunds "half" but I`m willing to bet they won`t see a credit on their credit cards. We won`t get credited at all because we left voluntarily.

Like Sunny,I`ll be watching the baseball game, but rooting for my homeboys-the San Francisco Giants.

nwlady-No mechanical bull but he does have a couple of real ones.....
 
Good morning. It's Wednesday at last, and I have a much-needed day off. I may putter in the yard. Or maybe dust and vacuum up cat fur.

I caught the tail end of the eclipse of the moon. Anybody watch the whole thing?
 
Good morning/afternoon. I've been to the gym for a good workout. Having my lunch now. Then I'm going to make some carrot and coriander soup and the rest of the day I'll read and watch a bit of tv. DH is away until tomorrow afternoon, so it's very quiet here.
 
Good Morning, Ameriscot, and welcome to the forum, today will be more work in the yard, I've had a ton of cleanup to do since the storm that came through last week.
