Bit the bullet.

This morning I bit the bullet and headed for the laundry room, 2 hours later and my laundry is Downy Fresh and I can shelve that task for a couple of weeks. While waiting for the laundry I spotted a few new old things that have been added to the park. 

Steve got a new truck for his business.

And it's a beauty.

A new commercial coffee pot for those group gatherings.

And a space heater to keep the place warm this winter.

 One other item of note, with my running through Santa Fe New Mexico the other day I have now completed running the entire Santa Fe Trail from Franklin Missouri to Santa Fe New Mexico and I'm sure glad I was able to do it in the air conditioned comfort of Mel. It must have been quite a trip covering those 900 miles in a freight wagon. Here are a couple signs I saw on the trail the other day.

An early reference to the trail.

A tribute to the pioneer women.

Having worked my fingers to the bone (well maybe not quite to the bone) this morning doing laundry I intend to relax this afternoon enjoying the good life from the vantage point of my easy chair.
