Just in the Nick of Time....

On a clear day you can see forever!
Mt. Baker in the Cascades

We awoke to sunshine today!  It's a good thing because yesterday we were plotting on how we could leave a week early and not lose our money or stay the next week and not lose our minds!  The all-day fog was getting to us, for sure! (A neighbor is committed to a month and is also wondering what they were thinking when they booked it!)  We did come here for cooler weather, and last year when we were here this time of year the weather was perfect.  So much for that logic.  I know our daughter and son-in-law are laughing at us because they used to live here and were wondering why we were coming up here in the first place.  Oh well.  Live and learn. 

I was craving chips today so Roger took me into town for a sandwich and a bag of chips at lunch time.  We can't keep them in the house because we would be in them all the time. Every once in a while, though, I have to have some - french fries are the same way.  When I need them, I need them - in a portion controlled size.  We are both doing well, though, at maintaining our goal weights.  It's a little harder when we are on the road as the mindset often wanders to "vacation" and isn't that part of going on a trip - eating stuff you don't get at home?

You can see the fog in the background on the water.  

We did have some fog today - it rolled onto the beach but didn't come inland, and the after a couple of hours it rolled out again.  Perfect.  It was 70 degrees and sunny in town and we watched the temperature drop on the truck thermometer as we came back to the base.  At the RV park it was a sunny 62!!  It was windy and the surf was up a bit.  Boats were out tending their crab pots and we even saw some sail boats today.  What a vast improvement over the last few days!

We took the opportunity this afternoon in the relative warmth and sunshine to empty our "basement" and reorganize it so we could find stuff.  When we left home we just kinda tossed things in.  Maggie stayed outside with us and we let her off the leash with her pen door open.  She wandered around the site but never went very far.  We were so glad to see that, as we now know she won't bolt.  There is a leash requirement. We just have to be careful not to get caught!  Now, we just have to work on the off leash thing when we go for a walk - she tries to dive into the bushes after rabbits and other critters she thinks she hears.  We can't afford to have her go into the brambles because we can't go in after her.  I told her they were for Br'er Rabbits and not Br'er Dogs but I don't think she believed me.
