Still at Timothy Lake

Tuesday - July 23rd - 84 degrees and humid - thundershowers

We are still at Timothy Lake awaiting the part for our refrigerator part to arrive from Ohio.  Thankfully, we have been able to purchase two bags of ice each morning to put into our refrigerator to keep our food cold.

Yesterday it was a bit cooler and I was able to get out with Lou in the early morning and have a nice walk around the camp ground, it is a huge place and divided into two area, a north and south area.  The north area, it consumed with a huge water park and that is where most of the families are located.  It is easy to see why they would want to camp there.  There are also cabins that can be rented for the night, week or the season and  they are located in the wood, really neat locations.  The walk around the perimeter of the south section is close to a two mile walk and it is all paved and would make a lovely daily walk, if the humidity wasn't so high.
The swimming pool where we are at - the end of our street

We have taken advantage of the time and made some repairs to the inside that needed to be made and I have done a lot of cleaning out of drawers, so we are pretty much ready for our trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, once we get the laundry done, bedding done and the outside washed, the car cleaned out and washed, cooking and baking done and the work at home done, we know our grass at home will be high.  Sounds like it will be a lot to get done in one week doesn't it!!  Sure hope it is cooler at home.

Last night we took early showers and went out to dinner at Louie's Steak House about five miles from here.  I was glad I had taken my sweater to slip on over my dress, as it was cold inside the restaurant. We both decided to order a steak, it being a steak house.  Our salads arrived and they were delicious with tasty homemade croutons, fresh tomatoes, red onions, lovely dressing along with the regular lettuce and carrots.  The salad was served with fresh warm rolls that were tasty and went well with the salad.  We were served delicious hot coffee and our cups were kept filled which pleased Lou.  Our steaks arrived and were served attractively on our place with a slit to show us they were as we had ordered them.  The first cut revealed a tough grizzled steak with a wonderful taste.  The baked potato was hot, even though it suggested by the color and double wrap of aluminium foil that it was left over from the night before, was served with a generous serving of sour cream and butter.  I had ordered carrots and Lou order broccoli both were hot and tasty.  I ate part of my steak, brought the rest home and hopefully will be able to cut it into small pieces and put it into a salad, as it had a wonderful flavor.

On the way home after our dinner, there were deer everywhere, I snapped a few pictures, but you can see it was starting to get dusk, and they aren't the best.  One that I didn't get a picture of was a beautiful buck that was in velvet and was next to the car, and I just didn't think to take his picture, as I had not been that close to a buck in velvet before!!
