Spring and A Fall

 Cullman,  AL

Ah.... Spring time in Alabama.   It was time to bring in more stone to the RV sites.  (Our 358th guest arrives later today).    While no guests were here, we had stone delivered and Len was happy to spread it on the sites.

This makes for a nicer spot for our guests as some areas were getting low and puddles would form.  Every few years we add a layer of stone.

Now for the Fall

Between guests I like to mow that area.   Behind where the rigs park, we have an area with a picnic table, bench, two lounge chairs and a fire pit.  We also provide plenty of wood for the campers use.  I asked Len to flip over the picnic table as it needed mowing under it.  The picnic table flipped back and knocked Len completely into the fire pit.  As I turned around on the mower, I saw him screaming.

The table was on one of his feet that was caught on the top of the firepit.  I got the table upright.  Then attempted to get him out of the fire pit.    I so much wanted to take a picture of him but thought better of it.   

It was obvious I could not lift him and he was squeezed it such that he could not help himself.   I called our neighbor Gary and got no answer.  We later talked to him and he was in Costa Rica.  Would have taken him too long to get here.

So, I removed all the cinder blocks on one side of the pit.  Then got Len to a sitting position.  THEN I took the picture.

He is fine.  Got a small cut on one knee.  We actually had our usual dance night with friends.  His back felt better and he danced more than usual.  

Several friends have been telling us about a function on Monday afternoons at another Senior Center.  Two Mondays ago we attended.  Many musicians get together for a Jam.  A lunch is provided by various restaurants and people also bring food.  All free for attendees.   People put a dollar with their name written on it into a jug.  A dollar is pulled and the name on it gets all the money.  My first time there and  I won $51.00.  Yippee.  You bet we go back every Monday now.
