So they promised us a warm, sunny day. Why is it that we awoke to the sound of rain on the roof? Once again I believe someone was looking at the wrong charts or whatever. But guess what? By 10 am things began to clear up and the day turned out to be beautiful, warm and sunny like they said it was supposed to be.
The only real chore we did today was driving over to the dump station to clear the tanks. That in itself was no big deal. We cycled the jacks up, slid the slides in, rolled the awning away, left everything on the counter and slowly motored over. Suffice to say we had much better luck than our friend Robin Williams had. Within 30 minutes we were back and all settled in again. It
probably took more time to describe it then it actually took to accomplish it.
As to what else we did. Barbara spent a good part of the day making phone calls trying to obtain information regarding forms she had to fill out. Her persistence paid off and in the end she had all the information she needed. Me, I really did a whole lot of nothing. And you know what? I don’t feel bad about it. I know when I’ve pushed my knees and my back too far and yesterday was one of those days. So today, I just sat back and gave myself permission to do not much of anything.
Tomorrow we’ll be out and about again. We have to go get a few more stamps for Barbara’s National Passport Book.
We’re going back to the Seal Cove Auto Museum for what is called Cars & Coffee which is an opportunity for drivers to show off their own special cars, and for all auto
enthusiasts to congregate to kick tires, peer under hoods, and enjoy coffee with their fellow car-lovers. The June Cars & Coffee will feature steam cars! The Cars & Coffee in the morning will be followed by steam demonstrations in the afternoon, and rides in the museum’s cars, weather permitting.
We also are planning to visit the Maine Granite Industry Historical Society Museum. Not only does the museum provide great exhibits to view, but there is also the opportunity for
visitors to learn how granite was quarried, cut, and processed long before we had the large equipment that is available to us today.
Enough for now. The day is long gone and night is once more all around us. It’s been a great day of doing almost nothing that we absolutely enjoyed. That’s the beauty of being on the road of retirement – you can pick and choose whatever you want to do in any given day and not feel guilty about it. We hope your day was a rewarding one as well, no matter what you had to do. In closing, I leave you with this thought:
As always, if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God. After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.
Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye. Till tomorrow.
These are the voyages of Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans. Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before

It’s nice to have days of doing ‘NOTHING’. The Granite Museum should be interesting. I love the thought of the day, because Hoag and I are hoping to eventually buy a renovation project at the Delaware shore. We wouldn’t do that until we would sell the RV. Don’t see that happening quite yet. Enjoy your weekend.
