Thursday Dog Day

Sorry guys for not posting yesterday.  I had my writing ready and as I was inserting a photo, the computer said, bye, bye.  I lost it.  I lost it all.  The blog had been a difficult one to write.  Not much to report on.   After dinner, Tim tried to list me for my weekend trip to Orlando.  And that was a no go.  Too much going on in Orlando for me to get a seat.  I even tried to fly into Daytona and Tampa.  Sadness set in.  Had to call Jeannie and break the bad news.   For some reason, it just wasn't meant to be.   I want to thank Cortney so much for being my backup. 

Now for today, even though the sun decided to shine someplace else, our day was a great one.  Tim called it, dog day.  We traveled to the Orange Beach Unleashed Dog Park.  Cleo and Tim went last weekend to this dog park when I was in Ohio.  So, Tim decided to go again today.  It is all fenced, and the dogs can run free.  Cleo loved it.  She has had to walk with a leash for the last month. 

On our way home, Walmart was calling my name.  I don't think we can pass a Walmart without stopping.   So we did.  Chatted with a fellow there that commented on my Skyline Chili t-shirt.  He had been to the restaurant, and agreed the hot dogs were scrumptious.  He also shared that we could get the Skyline Chili sauce at Publix down the road.  So I said, why not, it's dog day.   Best idea I have had in days.   I could have placed a sign outside my coach, Skyline Chili dogs for sale.  The smell was so overwheming,  just like walking into the real deal.  Tim and I both ate 2 big fat chili dogs with tons of sauce oozing out and warm melting cheese on top. Can't you just taste it?   And now, I am about to pop.  I don't think I will eat again for two days. I guess I need to explain Skyline Chili to anyone reading this that is not from the Ohio region.  It is a restaurant that specializes in small hot dogs, and spaghetti. They drown everything with their special sauce and warm cheddar cheese.  Just to die for.

The rest of the afternoon sailed by.  Tim decided to get out some tubs for me to unload. Yuck, not much into that today, but, gotta do it sometime.  Then we strolled down to the campground's dock, sat awhile, watching for dolphins.  Saw none.  But it was very relaxing.  I did see 2 pelicans.  Did not have my camera.  One would think I should know to carry it at all times. Not...

Hope everyone's day was as wonderful as ours.    God is so great....Life is soooo great.
