Richard's RV Park, St. Bernard, LA
It was a
treat to wake up on Saturday, Nov. 9th to see clear sky out the
window. Funny how we get spoiled with sun and then one day of dull clouds has
us craving it immediately! It was a cool day for us travelers, only 44F upon rising
at 6 am but it would soon be a balmy 63F. We had only the fireplace on last
night and that was adequate for a comfortable sleep. We’re all in bed so early
that rising early is getting to be a habit.

| Good morning, sunshine! |
I wasn’t
up to a walk yet; it was still dark so I made a tea with Bill’s coffee and we
sat and caught up on our friends’ adventures from the previous day. Being it
was only 61F inside, I turned the heat pump on but forgot to turn the fireplace
off. Oops! I tripped a breaker as we are only on 30 amp. Bill got us set up
again and we took advantage of being connected to electric power while we
could. I searched the area of and around St. Bernard to see what we could go
see on the weekend.

We walked
over to the neighbours and told them about Home Depot nearby for Bob to fill
his propane tanks. They ran out overnight so had a chilly wakeup this morning.
After spending some time chatting and me rubbing Higgin’s belly, we sauntered
back for breakfast. It was 9:00 and the sun was sure warming things up. I
opened all blinds to warm the Suite up on free heat. Bob gave me a tip on
cooking bacon so I tried that this morning and it was good. Less mess, I think.
I’ll do it once more and give you a report. 😊
 |
| And later on a walk, I saw this one on a front lawn |
With the
dishes done up, I changed into a cooler top since it would be warm outside and
we didn’t need the heat on inside anymore either. Bob and Jo-Anne left Higgins
with us, our request, and went to fill their propane tanks. We sat outside, me
with my book, which I finished, and Bill with his laptop. That sun was hot,
certainly feeling hotter than the 61F that it was supposed to be and I’m not
complaining one bit.

| Dog-sitting Higgins |
 |
| He sat in his bed on Clemson's blanket for a while always watchful for his parents |
 |
| And for a while, he settled down near me |
It was an
hour and a half or so when they returned and Higgins got all excited. We
actually didn’t notice what time they left. Bill and I had talked about going
into St. Bernard for some ‘touristy’ stuff but wanted to go as a foursome so
decided it would be Sunday instead of today. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere
just sitting. After they returned, Bill went inside for a snooze and when I went
in a while later, he was sound asleep up on the bed with the tv on.

| I opened one of my Pecan treats and had a couple Sugar Free Chocolate Pecans Yummy! |
The temperature
inside the Suite was 79F and I could hardly breathe so opened the windows all
around to let some air flow. I don’t how he could sleep in that but maybe that
helped! I needed to lay down too so stretched out on the couch with a window
open at each end and closed my eyes for a few minutes. At shortly after 3, we
took our chairs next door, inviting ourselves for Happy Hour while the sun was
on their site.
 |
| I walked out and along the road but it is too narrow to be comfortable so turned back and entered the park here |
 |
| Happy Hour, right on time!! |
 |
| Cheers! |

| Jo-Anne and I took pictures of this stately bird across the lane |

| He was so interested in these leaves that cars didn't deter him at all |
At 4:30
we parted ways and Bill set the Weber Q up for barbecuing but it felt too early
so we waited until 5 before he started grilling sausages. We hadn’t done fries
at home for a while so I got the Air Fryer out and heated it up to 400F. We
were eating by 5:30 and both the sausage and fries were wonderful! Come to
think of it, it has been a while since we’ve bbq’d too. After dishes, I
finished my post and turned on the pvr to watch a recorded program or two.
 |
| And the barbecue was ready to go |
Bill went
upstairs where he’d got a better satellite signal (we’re having issues with
Shaw, Bob and Jo-Anne as well) and watched a movie. This has been a nice quiet
day, just hanging around the park. We’ll be energized for more activity
tomorrow.

| And a delicious supper to finish the day Good night! |
