Another great day greeted me today. My, how many time have you read that phrase? How many more will I continue to enjoy? Is it because I am here in an RV? The location? Time of year? People I am with? I knew it was going to be good: the heat didn't run hardly at all last night but maintained the coach's temp at 70 degrees. The high today reached the mid 70's and, we agreed, it's just another beautiful day,
As I sat at my picnic table enjoying a hot cup of coffee, friend, Ray walked by on his way to dispose of his trash and ready for his daily walk. I decided to join him and an hour later, accomplished another 3 miles trek.

Our full schedule of visitors continued this afternoon with a visit from Vicki's cousin, Lisa, and husband, Mauricio (Moe).

| Moe & Lisa |
The highlight of their visit, beside getting tours of the small, medium, and large size RVs that we are fortunate enough to own, was Moe's contribution of TWO Stromboli for which he is world famous; well, at least in our world he is the master---a master of the perfect dough (he doesn't use sugar), the perfect sauce and ragu, pizza, you name it; if it's Italian, he'll make it for you. He is always eager to provide you with the pleasure of authentic Italian cuisine. For tonight, he made a sweet sausage/mozzarella Stromboli and a pepperoni/mozzarella Stromboli. And with my humblest apologies to him, I confess I do not have any photos of these pieces of culinary art. As a food-picture-taking junkie I feel terrible that I've robbed my readers of the golden crusted, perfectly baked delicacies and robbed Moe of the opportunity to show off his masterpieces. However, with bottles of wine, beer, and/or water disappearing, so too did the food. Vicki's tortellini with a bolognese sauce was most delicious and it too disappeared and was most appreciated. Thank you, Moe & Vicki.

For dessert, we thank Barbara for baking and providing me her gift to us RV'ers. An apple, raisin, walnut loaf. And as per admonishment, I was a good boy and did not "sample" prior to tonight's dinner.
The unveiling proved to be breathtakingly beautiful.
The texture of the loaf was very moist. With a smear of whipped cream cheese, the flavor was enhanced. There was no mistaking that this was an apple, raisin, walnut loaf and worthy of awards. Thank you, Barbara; who, by the way, is currently in Puerto Rico visiting her son and family and boasts of a new addition. Grandparents once again. Congratulations B&B 6D
Did you notice that beautiful fire in the background? This was the next and last attraction for the evening....Enter, center stage, the Fire Starter:
 |
| "G", "Jorge", "Pyro", "Fire Starter" (there's more)..... |
 |
| .......has raised his skills to an art form. |
 |
| Logs must be arranged in their OCD order by size. |
 |
| "OCD"; = Opposite, Contrasting Directions.... |
 |
| ....with proper amounts of tinder and kindling..... |
 |
| ....for the perfect fire. |
More great news and congratulatory messages on tap for tomorrow. I could continue and share it all now but, alas, it's time to close. I must consider the reader. My coffee with dessert was not decaf tonight and I may pay the price with difficulties sleeping. Not a problem. Tomorrow is Sunday, a day of rest. More special visitors due and the weather once again will be perfect. I've always begrudgingly ended my days having to retire. I eagerly await the dawn, the new day, and all it has to offer. What I've experienced in the past gives testament to my enjoyment and fortunate life. Till next time, good night.
