Living in an RV Henly RV Park Tuesday 05/14/2024
I slept very well enough that I crawled out of bed around 7:30 am. Totally unheard of but I did not feel the worst for getting up early…for me. We have no plans for today and as we have no transportation, we cannot even go grocery shopping. Good job, we are stocked up at least for a couple of days. May run out of beer though…
The first thing was to hang the bird feeders watched by the dogs who…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Sunday 05/12/2024
I slept like the proverbial log and did not wake up until almost 10:00 am. Guess I was tired from yesterday’s activities, and I was still angry at the damage caused by the ice storm. I gave up the anger as a bad job as it was already done and there was nothing, I could have done to prevent it anyway. My poor Jeep has certainly been in the wars since I have owned her. Hope this time it is also…

Storms
We had a storm the other day that Nature decided should come our way with hail the size of tennis balls breaking things in the way of their fall we were outside when it began just me and the dogs walking the land and when that first chunk hit the ground we doubled our pace at the clunking sound and managed get back inside the RV before the hail started falling free it smashed into my little…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Friday 05/10/2024
I awoke around 6:00 am to the sound of something that was running like crazy and could not put my finger on it. It sounded like it was coming from the ceiling area, but I could not see where. It was a loud roaring noise, and I had visions of some part or another blowing up.
I panicked and called Daniel. Malinda answered and I explained what was happening and in no time flat, they were both at…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Tuesday 05/07/2024
I wonder who that is?
I slept very well and was ready to get up at a reasonable hour, for us. As my water problem is still not fixed, I decided that I really had no alternative other than take a cold shower and boy, was that water cold? I hopped about as it hit parts of my body and wondered why I tortured myself like this. I finally crawled out and grabbed the towel to dry myself off and warm…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Monday 05/06/2024
I slept very well and did not want to get out of bed. I kept saying to myself, “Five more minutes, just five more minutes”. I managed to stretch those concurrent fine minutes out to a half hour or so before rolling out of bed.
The ball of my right foot was very sore for some reason, but I could walk on it if I was careful. I have no idea what I did to it this time. Always something as I grow…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Sunday 05/05/2024
I crawled out of bed after several attempts to get up which, at the last minute ended with flopping back down and trying to snooze. Eventually, I succeeded in getting my feet on the floor and everything was plain sailing from there on out. Actually, I was just being lazy as I tend to be nowadays.
We harnessed up and went for a short walk about but did not go far as it was threatening to rain.…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Thursday 05/09/2024
I slept well and was wide awake and ready to get out of bed. I looked at the time which was a little after 8:00 am and lay there for a bit thinking about the upcoming day and what I had to do. We did not have anything important planned and would just play it by ear, as the saying goes.
The morning started as it usually does with hitching the dogs up to the table and bringing out the feeders. It…

Notice the lawn is flooded.
I slept very well, and it was a long night for which I was very grateful. The only reason I awoke when I did was for the call of Nature. After using the john, I looked at the bed and it was very inviting but as it was already 9:25 am, I decided that I should crawl out of there. Good job, we are never very busy.
It was a wet drizzly day and not a bit inviting outside…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Thursday 05/02/2024
I got up to another one of those days when the weather could not make up its mind whether to rain or clear up. There was a very heavy fog which surrounded us making me feel damp.
I jumped into the shower and the hot water felt good. How was I to know that I turned on a change of events by taking the shower because thirty minutes later, steaming hot water started pouring out of the unit just as…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Tuesday 04/30/2024
Last day of the month…again. Where on earth does time go?
I awoke at a reasonable hour by our standards. Good job I am no longer a working man as I would have a hard time getting to work on time. I really am a lazy bum when it comes to getting out of bed. I harnessed the dogs, and we went out for that all important first walk of the day and just wandered around. It was another nice sunny day…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Sunday 04/28/2024
For some reason, I did not wake up until almost 10:30 am. That is the first time that has happened in a long while. I thought I slept well although we did have a heavy thunderstorm and a lot of rain in the night which I probably lay there and listened to. The lightning was very bright, and the thunder was awe inspiring, it was so loud. Mikey got under the covers with me, but Sandy just rolled…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Saturday 04/27/2024
I got up at the regular time for me and after getting dressed, went out to take care of the bird feeders. The new system with the change of feeders seems to be working well and there are not as many Grackles as before. Still one or two hanging around though.
Then, I harnessed up the dogs and we went out walking as we normally do. We wandered around with no particular direction in mind guided by…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Friday 04/26/2024
I slept late again but a lot of that was due to having an upset stomach in the night and spending time in the bathroom, several times in fact. I guess that something I ate disagreed with me. It seems my stomach is much more susceptible to getting upset nowadays. Maybe age has something to do with it. Even after I crawled out of bed, my stomach still felt a bit queasy.
It was a very dull and…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Thursday 04/25/2024
I awoke late and it was almost 9:00 am before I crawled out of bed. Still, we have nothing planned so the day is ours to do as we please. Of course, most days are like that…
As usual, we went out walking as the first thing to do for the day and covered a little over a half mile, enough for the dogs to do their thing and for me to stretch out the overnight kinks.
Then I spent time on the…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Wednesday 04/24/2024
It was a somewhat dull and overcast day with rain in the wind. The deck was wet with standing water, and I could feel the rain on my face, but it was not actually pouring down. I brought out the feeders except for the two big ones and they are in the storage bin never again to see the light of day. Well, OK, maybe in a couple of weeks we will try again and by then, the Grackles may have moved…

Living in an RV Henly RV Park Tuesday 04/23/2024
I had a strange night’s sleep but was awake enough to crawl out of bed around 8:30 am. The first thing was to raise all the blinds to let the new day in and then the usual morning ablutions. It did not include a shower as we are still without hot water, and I forgot to turn on the water heater which takes around 15 minutes. That is OK as the dogs smell worse than I do so they are not going to…
