We awoke to another bright, sunny and probably hot summers day just like yesterday and the past couple of months previously. This has been one of the hottest and longest summers on record and most of the people, even those born and raised in the Texas heat, are ready for it to be over. Of course, however the weather turns in the future, we will complain about it. Us Hoomans are never satisfied.
After the usual matutinal ablutions (cold water on the face), which woke me up and throwing on shorts and Tee shirt, I was ready to take Mikey walking around the park. We passed a couple of people with dogs all going in the opposite direction and hollered out the usual morning greeting to them and they responded in kind.
The park was quiet with not much activity as it usually is as we wandered around. Right now, it is half empty or depending on your point of view, half full as the travelling season comes to an end. Now, the ones still on the road are probably full timers.
Back in the RV, I fixed myself breakfast after bringing out the bird feeders and the all important coffee and sat down in front of the computer to play catch up with the blog. I was only one day behind but even that required a lot of brain wracking to remember what happened yesterday. It’s hell growing old but considering the alternative…
When I made breakfast, I discovered that I was down to my last coffee pod so without further ado, I drove to Tractor Supply, my nearest store and purchased some and then drove straight back to the park. Can’t be without coffee!
The rest of the day was spent in the usual way listening to an Audiobook and walking Mikey. I did spend a lot of time on the computer looking for another small dog and found a couple that I might be interested in.

I slept very well as did Mikey and the couple of times I got up for the call of Nature, he didn’t even move. I guess he is used to the routine by now. Eventually, I crawled out of bed and went through the cold water on my face to finish waking up.
First thing after throwing on clean clothes was to empty the washing machine as it had done a load yesterday with a little help from me. I spread it out on the bed to finish drying as it felt a little damp and then I can fold it and put it away.
I harnessed up Mikey and he was ready and raring to go so I hastily put on my shoes and out the door we went. We wandered around and didn’t see anybody which is no surprise as usually, I am the last person out dog walking and all of the others are out and about much earlier than we are. I use age as an excuse for not getting out early and the truth is that I enjoy laying around in bed when I don’t have to get up. Kinda makes up for a lifetime of getting up early to be at work on time.
Back in the RV, after a breakfast shared with Mikey, I sat down in front of the computer and worked on the blog bringing us up to date. As far as I know, I have no plans for today but that can change in an instant.
As it turned out, it was a slow quiet day and we did a lot of sitting around listening to an Audiobook and taking Mikey out walking.
