Today, we opted for a much needed day of rest. We stayed close to the camper and the campground. The campground is surrounded by horse pastures, with the requisite horses. Pooh Bear got stressed out by that fact and walked with his rear end facing away from the pasture during the entire walk. He wasn't taking any chances on getting his rear end nipped again. His bowels kind of locked on him too. Stress is a terrible thing!

After our customary muffins and tea and coffee, we headed for the swimming pool and talked with several of our fellow campers. We encountered a couple and their two boys from Rochester, New York. Like us, they are taking a month for this western trip and are staying in KOA Kabins at each stop. Their intent is to visit more places than we will, but our schedule seems to be working out well for the two of us.
I think one of the A/C’s in the unit is not cooling. It is running fine, but the output of cool air seems much too low. I am going to need to have that serviced soon. In an effort to shade our Silver Lady, I put out the large awning on the passenger's side as well as the awning over the door. This was the first time we had used these, this trip and I had to make some minor adjustments. I then worked on the lights on the tow dolly. For reasons that escape me, the plugs for the lights continue to come out of the lights. I have repaired these twice already. I can’t do this without taking the entire light assembly off and then reinserting the plugs and then putting the units back onto the fenders. This time I tried to cover them with duct tape in hopes that will hold them in place. Thank God for duct tape!
While I was doing all of this, Sue was busy cleaning the inside of the coach... dusting, mopping, vacuuming, etc. Pooh, of course, helped her out with this. He ran back and forth over the mopped floor and zoomed around while she was running "JAWS" (the vacuum). He is scared to death of it. He must have been a housewife in a former life.
We watched the new National Treasure 2 movie (what fun!) and then took a decadently long nap. The book, Everything I Need to Know, I Learned in Kindergarten, had it right. The world would be a better place if we could all take naps each afternoon.
We’re off to the swimming pool again for some exercise and refreshment before dinner. Life is tough!

After dinner, we watched a new Gaither Homecoming video that Sue had bought me for Father's Day. It was called Campfire Homecoming and featured mostly old hymns and choruses from the 50's and 60's. Most brought back sweet memories. We are both so inspired by this music and the love of God and for our God that we see and experience with each video.
Sleep in the coach is so sweet. last night I turned off all of the A/c's and we slept under a blanket all night. What a refreshing change!

Man, poor Pooh Bear! First he gets bit on the butt by a pony. Now he's so frightened that he can't even crap around them. And then he can't even sit around the camper without Jaws the vacuum chasing him around. Ha!
