Catch Up Day

First I caught up on my sleep then I caught up with other stuff—bill paying, banking, grocery shopping, etc.  Michael was up and down a lot last night but is feeling better this evening.  He was fed more chicken noodle soup for dinner so maybe that helped too.

I loaded Shirley’s quilt on the frame and started quilting it this afternoon.  Mom came over and did some sewing—Gina stopped by to visit too.

It was mighty hot and humid today—our motorhome has a very strange awning operated by air and electricity.  The awning has its own compressor.  I usually hesitate to use the silly thing unless Michael is around but the sun was beating in the passenger side windows this morning so I rolled out the awning.  To make the awning a little more immune to any sudden wind gusts I only unrolled it enough to shade the windows not using the full width.  The stupid thing wouldn’t retract this afternoon—the compressor was working, the awning would extend all the way out and retract part way but not all the way.  About the time I was ready to scream with frustration, the yellow jeep rolled in.  Seems the problem might be with the remote control—Michael discovered a manual switch in the compressor bay and all is well now with the awning retracted up tight! 

One last sand fest photo—John Lennon.  The office manager here at the park told me there is another sand fest in August on the Corpus Christi end of the island.
