Just saw a complete double rainbow after a beautiful evening rain. I love seeing rainbows – especially in the mountains.
We didn’t do much today. Did go to the grocery store to get a ham for the dinner we are doing tomorrow night. Both of Jim’s brothers are returning to NorthCarolina Saturday morning so it will be our farewell dinner. It has been fun having them in Camp and spending time with them. It will be a quiet last few days after they leave.
We have a pass to go into RMNP at noon tomorrow but I need to be back by 3:30 to get the scalloped potatoes in the oven by 4:00. It is to rain most of the day tomorrow so we may not go into the park. We have one more chance on Sunday but again rain is in the forecast. We will see what happens.
Jim went over to see his brother Tom this afternoon. I stayed home and took a short nap. Tom went to order a pizza and found out they only took online orders. Tom called Jim and Jim called me to order it for Tom. I hope he got what he wanted. It got a bit complicated but he ended up with a pizza.
I did a 2.5 hour shift last night on the Hot Line. I took three calls – two were fun and rewarding. The other person disengaged just as we got started. I always worry that I said something wrong that turned them off but I hadn’t had a chance to say much to this one. Hoping they text back in when it is a better time for them to chat.
I have another shift tonight. I’m glad I took a nap so I can be more alert for the calls. They can get intense at times and if I am tired I have trouble thinking fast enough. I sure enjoy doing this service. I think I get more out of it than the texters do though.
Only five more full days at Camp and then we have to head home. So grateful we were able to stay four weeks this year but to be honest I am ready to go home. I am craving my prairie view and staying home for a long time. I’ve only been home for five weeks all year so far. It is calling me to come back and stay awhile.
I want to call and order chickens tomorrow. I need them to tell me a final price so I can go to the post office and get a money order and get it mailed to them. They ship on Fridays so should have them the Monday after I get home. Seems a bit cruel to ship baby chickens but they know what they are doing.
It has been a cloudy afternoon with rain off an on. While we were in town it rained hard for a bit. We sat out on the deck and listened to the rain after dinner tonight. Seeing the double rainbow ended another quiet, beautiful day in the mountains.
Grateful for a full double rainbow tonight, grateful we still have five full days to enjoy the quiet and beauty of the mountains, and grateful for the fire burning in the fireplace tonight.
