Day 7 - Relaxing at Outdoor Resorts

Today is our rest day at the Outdoor Resorts RV Park at Lake Toxaway. Last night the resort had a cocktail party for the residents and we were invited. met the president of the POA and had a good chat. Very nice people!

This morning I rode to Brevard and visited Dave and Nancy Von Holle to see their summer home. The road is very twisty and a treat to ride on a motorcycle. Dave has spent an enormous amount of time and effort working on the house and it shows. From a dumpy little cottage, Dave and Nancy have created a real jewel of a house. The attention to detail is typical Dave, and the view is fantastic.

This afternoon I worked on the coach, put RainX on the windshield, fixed a cabinet shelf, and did three loads of wash - am I glad we kept the washer/dryer! Then I was cleaning the front of the coach - bugs you know - and "almost" finished the job before the typical afternoon thunderstorm hit. But I was OK, got under the side awning! Unfortunately, the awning has an "auto retract" feature if the wind is too high - it was, it did, and I got a dousing! Oh well, it was warm rain. Equally fun, Dixie hates thunder so she wrapped her leash around the front jack and was stuck under the coach during the storm. What a treat getting her and the leash out after the storm!

But the sun came out again and all was well as we watched the U.S. Open on the outside TV.

Tomorrow is Father's Day and Suzanne is taking me to dinner. We'll report on the day later.

Cheers

John, Suz and Dixie the wonder dog

  1. Ok, so you both did the water ride in the river and now you can't get enough
    of the stuff that John stands under the waterfall off the canopy. Sounds like Suz was curled up inside and dry. Smart lady. Hi to Dave and Nancy if you visit them again.
