Vacation time

We stayed in Waco last Friday night, it was hot! We were out to Lake Waco at a Corp of Engineers park, then Saturday night we camped at a wonderful park near Ottawa, Ks.The park is called Homewood R.V. park, very nice there, still hot weather, when we got to the Iowa border...oh what a relief, cool breeze! Highs of 80's low of 60's, so nice!We continued on to Carroll Iowa to Swan Lake State Park, we have stayed here many times we spent 4 night here so far and will leave Sunday for the campout.
A few pictures to share...


At Homewood R.V. Park


We took these Deer pictures yesterday at Swan Lake . The camp host says there are lots of deer , 2 Does with twins and a Doe with triplets, there is a patch of corn planted just for the Deer, they are usually spotted near the road every morning early.

My home town is just 30 miles East of Carroll, IA, ...Jefferson, IA. Over the past few years this town has been growing! A lot of new businesses and they are getting a Casino, next year, it should be operating when we come back.
Jefferson is a very clean town, lovely downtown with a court house in the middle of the square and a bell tower, the tower is 17 stories tall and the chimes every 1/2 hour and chimes full songs each hour, just beautiful.


I talked to Marge Rexroad this morning. Very quiet in the park

Ron and Rita Sutherland provided donuts this morning, There was a card passed around for folks to sign for Bill and Velda Lee Clement's 60th wedding Anniversary, which is coming up soon.

More later...
