Lake Bastrop North
 
The very last day of the year and we will never, ever see this day again. The same is true of every day but being the very last one of the year does make it special. To us, it is just another day as we say goodbye to 2023 and welcome in 2024 although, I do not plan on staying up to welcome in the New Year. 

We got up at a reasonable hour and, as we normally do, went out for that very first walk of the day. It was a beautiful sunny day which is a good way to say goodbye to 2023. We wandered around saying good morning to any others we saw out and about before returning to the RV for breakfast. I heated up a couple of Enchiladas in tomato sauce which really hit the spot for me. That is more breakfast than I normally eat and hopefully, it will do me all day except the girls are putting on a party later today. Still, that doesn’t mean I have to eat or drink a lot. 
 
With the walk and breakfast out of the way, I turned my attention to the blog on which I was a couple of days behind. With my terrible memory, I knew that I would be struggling with those days as recall is definitely not one of my strong points anymore. After a couple of hours, I managed to catch up with the blog and then looked around for other things to do. 

We went out for another walk and just wandered around before returning to The Caboose. I got a text from Peggy reminding me about the party they were setting up for the afternoon. I really was not very hungry, and the food was being served at 1:30 pm. I wandered over to the commons and sat there as the others all ate and despite the girls’ efforts to get me to eat, I declined. No sense eating for the sake of it. 

I left that party and walked back to my RV to try to figure out the problem I was having with posting the latest blog. There was a knock on the door and Peggy was standing there with a couple of bowls of food for me. I thanked her and she went back to her party, and I continued to work on my Facebook problem. 

After much effort on my part, I figured out what was wrong and managed to post the latest episodes of, “Life in an RV”. Cheered up by my success, I wandered back over to the outside party as it had now moved from the Commons to the lawn outside and the girls, Donna and Gary were busy playing a form of bowls. 

I accepted a beer and sat and watched and declined the offer to play, not feeling very confident of my ability to toss the bags in the right places. We sat by the Commons just chatting and, in the end, I started to get cold and walked back to The Caboose to be greeted by my little dogs. That was the end of our outside evening’s entertainment as we prepared to eat, both the dogs and me, and to watch the usual evening’s entertainment on the television.
