Awake: 6:54am Temp 57 Cloudy Overnight @ Chimacum, WA
Mid morning e-mail check for both Kathy & me @ different times + Kathy
pays a bill using the internet.
Early afternoon, we walk 40 min around the campground for exercise.
@ 2:00pm we join the campground crowd @ the clubhouse for the Memorial Day
dinner. Pay our $4.00 each, look around the huge dining room for a seat &
realize…there are no 2 seats together to be had. Lesson learned….arrive
early to get seating. These events are obviously very popular. Shortly
after we arrive, another couple who we just met yesterday is in the same
predicament as we are, on time for dinner but late for seating. We are
told that more seating is available outside in the pavilion…so we join up
with Ann & Dick on the outdoor pavilion seating. It was fine + Dick & Ann
entertained us for nearly 2 hrs with their interesting & amusing stories +
quick wit.
Lunch serving: Grilled hamburger, potato salad, baked beans, carrot salad
+ all the condiments for our burger + apple pie or chocolate cake for
desert. This good meal was set up, prepared & cleaned up by volunteers of
the campground....impressive!
@ 4:00pm we get our long handle telescoping brush, Windex cleaner, soft
cloths, 20 ft water hose, sprayer nozzle & continue our house cleaning on
the driver’s side of the coach. Kathy, being the shorter one, cleans and
dries the lower sections. Then I get the window cleaning duty…removing dry
water spots from our 32 individually framed windows is the highlight of
the whole process….it signifies we’re nearly finished. Kathy cleaned the
inside of those same windows. During my glass cleaning time, Katrina calls
from Anchorage & talks with Kathy….when I finish the window job, it’s my
turn to talk. With Katrina’s planned move to Denver, and all that entails,
incl. finding a place to live; a wedding party to attend in Minneapolis;
being a bridesmaid in her friend’s wedding in Santa Rosa & attending her
brother’s wedding in Nagoya, this girl is going to be really busy for the
next 3 months.
We finish our house cleaning @ 7:30pm & now the process begins all over
again. How to travel & keep our home from getting too dirty too soon?
9:00pm Snacks: Popcorn, a variety of different cheeses & Triscuits while
we watch a movie from the video library: “Ever After” with Drew Barrymore;
an interesting re-telling of the Cinderella story.
