I Lied

My last post began with a quote: It is said that you never know how great a day is until it's over.  As it turns out, that's not quite true.  That day wasn't the greatest, today was.  How can you keep topping the day before with beautiful weather?  Have I timed this week perfectly with the weatherman?  Will it always be this way?  I hope my travels take me to other campsites as nice as I have enjoyed thus far.  Today, Sunday, at Croton Point Park was just as perfect as anyone would want: low humidity, a slight breeze, clouds enough to give alternating periods of shade and sun....but that's what I wrote the other day.  Add to all that good stuff the fact that it's quiet here.  Someone's AC running is about as noisy as it gets.  Kids yelling and screaming?  Sure; the playground is a couple of roads west of me but isn't that what family camping is all about?  Mom and pop relaxing back at the camper with the little ones whooping it up with others at a playground.

Enough about weather.  If you've ever experienced a "great day", you know what I'm talking about.  My day was punctuated with a visit from my mother and sister, Judy.  They've seen Winnie before but today's visit was for some cookies and coffee.  Mom loved the peaceful serenity of the campsite;  Interestingly, she wondered why she's never heard of or saw the popularity there seems to be in RVing and motor homes in general.  Was it because I now have one that it's all coming together?  Judy liked it also but has difficulty understanding the mentality of the true RVer; some of whom live year round in a motor home.  They actually came at a perfect time.  The surrounding campsites (7) are vacant.  Only the long term folks like Trish and Craig and Joe and Linda are here.  Because of work schedules many campers spend their weekend here and are gone by Sunday.  Maybe tomorrow will see new arrivals.  One family pulled in this evening behind me.  Mom, dad, and three kids (who love lacrosse) and camping in a fifth wheel.

Clouds are thickening but the sun continues to shine.  There's no mention of rain.  Sorry, but I don't have new photos to post and right now.   I'm in the mood for a bowl of soup.  I'm keeping it light these days and will pause to enjoy a light dinner.  Maybe more later.  

Then again, maybe not.  Instead I retired about 11:30 and finished a few more chapters of The Silkworm by J.K. Rowling.  Coming up on the last chapters of this whodunit novel with multiple suspects and motives.  I think she does an excellent job in developing her characters.  I enjoy getting to know each and every character complete with their idiosyncrasies and why they could be the #1 suspect or not but, in the end, you are incorrect.

Tomorrow I prepare for a visit with and dinner for Ed & Diane.  It will be the first time they get to see Winnie.  Ed & Diane live in my builging--on my flooor--and is my backup fella for airport trips that I am not available for or have a conflict with other jobs.  More about that tomorrow.  Good night.
