Yesterday, Thursday, Donna and I spent most of the day sprucing up for the arrival of our friends from Texas, Roger and Mary. R&M have been at the Winnebago factory in Iowa having a few issues addressed, and have joined us for a bit of travel together. We're looking forward to the experience, since we have never traveled with someone else. R&M will be gracious about our shortcomings, I'm sure, and we should get along just fine.
After the Fall Cleaning, D and I went into town to pick up a few things and to stop at our newest favorite coffee shop: Caribou Coffee. I've probably told you about the extra chocolatey mochas before, but they are wonderful! Just as we returned to Nessie, about 3 pm or so, the skies opened up and it began to rain. And rain. And rain. R&M arrived about 5 pm and set up in a pouring rain. They were both soaked, even with umbrellas. Donna had prepared a comfort food meal for us all to share, so after a bit we calmed down and enjoyed the rain. It sure made for good sleeping last night!
Today we made plans for a day trip, but Roger found that most of the storage bays on one side of his motorhome were soaked with water. Evidently it had come in yesterday while driving in the big storm. The sun was shining, so he elected to remove all his stuff from the bays and let them dry out, so we stayed close to camp and caught up on old times while the water dried. About 6:30 this evening the rain came again and drove us inside for dinner. The girls collaborated on a burger feast, and we were dry inside, so "let it rain, let it rain". R&M have a lovely little pup that doesn't like the rain and thunder, so we had to call the evening short so she could be comforted. Poor little thing. She starts shaking and needs to be held close. Kinda like me at tax time.
No rain predicted for tomorrow, so we'll have a chance to get out.
Til then!
