Days at Lithia Springs

Monday-Wednesday  March 5-March 7, 2012
Lithia Springs Park Site 23

 

I am determined to get caught up on this blog.

 At least for a while, Winnona’s “current location” will be where we actually are at this moment.  I know it gets quite confusing for some folks and I don’t get the kinds of good advice about what to do in the area if I’m gone before you find out I was there.  LOL

On Monday we returned to Lithia Springs.

Since we have been here before, we know just which sites we like.  Our preferred site was taken so we chose one of David’s favorites, spacious site 23.  I wish I had a wide angle lens to show you HOW BIG this site really is.

 

 

Out the window I saw one of our neighbors.

 

So I thought I’d go out and introduce myself.

 

 

 

 

 

She seemed glad to meet me.

 

 

 

 

 

She had some other friends including one who had what I thought looked like a Panda face.

 

 

 

 

On Tuesday, David went in for the start of treatment round #2. 

 

Everything went fine and he had no side effects other than the nap he took when he came back and later the energy boost he seems to get from the Dexamethazone. 

 

 

 

While he was gone, I was sitting here working on the Blue Spring blog post.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All of a sudden this guy dropped off the awning onto my keyboard. 

 

 

I put my hand down and he cooperative walked up on my thumb so I could get a closer look.  He’s a really small guy.  Looks like he’s toting something around on his back.

 

 

 

If you know who he is let me know. I hope he isn’t a bad guy because I put him over on a tree.  I wonder if you can even spot him.

 

 

We spent the rest of the day outside in the PERFECT weather just noodling around.   High 81, lo 43.  Listening to the birds and squirrels, we heard some pretty strange sounds but couldn’t find the vocalizers to take a look.

 

On Wednesday I went running around the park. 

 

I ran 4.7 miles through the lower campground, by the spring, through the picnic area, up to the gate and back through the upper campground  THREE times.   Good thing it’s a lovely park and fun to look at all the different rigs in all the different sites.  There are every kind from popups and vans to Class A’s and 5th wheels.  Quite a few tents here as well.  I am always glad to see them.  They bring back memories from my many many years of car camping with a tent and backpacking into all  kinds of great places.

 

Again, a perfect day that we spent doing who knows what.  I did arrange for our next “vacation”.  We’ll be going up to Manatee Springs State Park for the week off.  We’ll get down to Cedar Key for some kayaking so I hope we can meet up with Dan and Tricia who are there for the month of March I think.

 

Probably the most news worthy thing that happened today was that David cut my hair.  I like my hair long.  I had thought I’d grow it VERY long and have a braid down my back as I’ve done in the past.  But it’s just too darn much trouble and getting too hot,  So

The initial bobbing

 

Too bad Locks of Love won’t take 6” pieces.  No idea what to do with this pile of hair.  Maybe the birds can use it for nesting material.  It is Spring after all.

Here’s the Master hairdresser putting away his Flowbee tool.

 

Definitely a man of MANY talents.
