No walking for me or my mom today, but Kim
did his usual 3+ miles. I’m taking it easy to allow my knee time to do some
healing. Don’t have a clue what I did that caused this issue, but it went from
fine to not-so-fine in a hurry. So walking is off my agenda for a bit.
--------------------
Kim was notified that his glasses were ready
to be picked up at Costco, so we made another trip to Tucson. I had no
intention of walking through Costco on a bum knee, but I also didn’t want to
spend the entire day sitting outside around camp, so I went along and just
waited in the car for Mom and Kim to do their shopping. I welcomed the change
of scenery and the opportunity to take a short snooze.
--------------------
We’ve had neighbors in the site next to us for
maybe two weeks…a very pregnant mom, a daughter, and a son. Oh, and a dog named Nala. Then on Monday,
another camper pulled into the campsite across from us…the one that Joe and
Mikki had vacated on Sunday. A mom, two
boys and a small dog. Turns out the ‘moms’
are sisters and at some point in the last few days a baby made an appearance. Lots
of activity between the two campsites.
Today, all of them got in the car and took
off…two moms, four kids between the ages of ten and fifteen and a newborn in a
car seat. But they left the small dog behind; it was barking when we left for
Tucson and barking when we got back. It continued to bark throughout the
afternoon/early evening and occasionally it let out a mournful little howl. Poor
thing…its people left it all alone. It’s now dark out and it seems to have
calmed down but what a rotten thing to do to a pet. Since we aren’t allowed to
enter someone else’s camper, there was nothing we could do to alleviate its loneliness,
but they will be reported to the office tomorrow. Don't know what the office will do but....
--------------------
It was in the low 60s when I went to bed last
night and this morning it was warm right from the get-go. That hasn’t been the
case lately with the temperature getting down to the low 40’s/high 30s at night
and the air doesn’t warm up until the sun is higher in the sky, about 10 a.m. But
today we experienced
--------------------
Kim changed out his scope this afternoon…off with the ‘big’ scope and on with the ‘little’ one. Clouds might become an issue tonight but he’s giving it a try.

40 Days of Lent opportunity: Do 2 acts of charity today. One for someone you know and one for someone that you don’t know. I didn’t do this one because I was sitting all day nursing a bum knee. Sitting either in the camper, in a chair outside or in the truck. No interaction with people. Although we did buy my mom a bag of piggy cookies so I suppose that might qualify as completing half of this one.
