I’m sitting here watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean though the windshield of my motorhome from campsite #22 at San Simeon State Park. I just poured a healthy double of Crown Royal and took a sip. Denise is out golfing with her brother and Stephanie. I expect them back any minute now. We had about the nicest weather you can imagine for Thanksgiving yesterday. I made turkey noodle soup from the remains of yesterday’s dinner. It’s sort of a family tradition I started a few yeas back. Every year my daughter Stephanie tells me that this year was the best soup ever. We both know that there is no real way to know that, but it’s fun anyway.
The days are warm. Mostly in the high 70s and low 80s. It gets chilly at night. The first night here, I didn’t think I would need the furnace. It was 50 inside when we woke up Monday morning. Now we use the heater at night. It means I have to run the generator for a couple hours to recharge the batteries, but oh well! Speaking of generators, you can tell time by them. Generator hours are 10:00am to 8:00pm. They all start exactly at 10:00, and they all go off exactly at 8:00pm. No one runs theirs all day, but it’s funny to hear them all start and stop at the same time. It’s as if everyone is standing there watching the clock with their finger on the start button. Which is probably not too much of an exaggeration.
Anyway. We need to come back here before too long.
