We had a nice stretch of great weather for the Memorial Day weekend. The days were nice and sunny with very little wind, making the lake very still. We started the long weekend on Thursday after work and we had Memorial Day (Monday) off as well. We arrived to find that Mary had mowed our lawn, which made my job a lot easier. Early in the weekend we had a cookout with several neighbors ... Shannon really knows how to grill a steak!
Sales were everywhere when we went Jeeping around the countryside. I found a nice old wing-back chair for $25 but I had no way to haul it, so we had to pass on that deal. I want to get a small trailer so when we find these buys, we can haul them home. We try to avoid wasting gas by only taking one Jeep to the lake unless we know we're going to need the pickup truck.
There were campground-wide yard sales on Saturday. The campground was busy and we went for long walks every day, stopping to visit with people along the way. Jimmy got me a Nascar Kyle Busch sign which I mounted on the shed, and a magnetic "18" sign for my pickup. Shelly cooked a whole chicken on the campfire in the evening.
When it's warm in the spring, it is perfect for sitting out on the porch in the late evening because there aren't that many bugs out yet. I don't think we'll have as many bugs during the summer now that we've switched to dark blue LED porch lights. We put our hummingbird feeders out and the little birds found them right away.
