Day 9 (Aug. 9, 2009)

My new show will air on Fox, Tues. at 7 pm.

Bill and Judy left to pick up Japanese friend Naoko in Seattle. She will be staying a few days here at Wildcat Lake with us.

Anne and I got in the hot tub this morning. Clear skies now while I am creating this blog you are reading.

While goofing around in the lake, the underwater camera fell in. We had it strapped on the side of the tube and the strap broke. The heavy camera arrived quickly to its sub-surface home 20 foot below. The poor camera may just not be "meant to be". There is another story behind the camera too. But that's for another day.

I've been repacking the Jeep (Anne). Things got a little jumbled and we've discovered all the things we brought that weren't really needed. Four Nalgene bottles, only keeping two, a trash can ("don't ask me why"-Anne), headphones ("don't ask me why"-Cecil), a water jug that spilt throughout the back of the Jeep, and many clothes. Going to leave our Milepost here also, so we have to come back here for sure to pick it up. The Milepost was extremely helpful! Thanks Mom and Dad.

Hand and Foot. Anne, Judy, Bill and Cecil.

Went for a swim, then beat Grandpa and Cecil at Hand and Foot. Dinner consisted of Asparagas and Shrimp in Linguine noodles with sauce. Yummy! Sure beats camping food.

We taught Naoko how to play Farkel. That was fun! Grandma won with exactly 10,000.

Talked for the rest of the evening. I'm going to get the sign in the bathroom that reads "kindly flush toilet after each use, except when train is standing in station." That was a for real sign back in the day when grandpa and dinosaurs roamed the earth.
