WITL Friday - Picnic at Luna Lake

I slept a bit better last night.  I washed my nose pieces yesterday using baby shampoo and didn't use the nasogel last night and I didn't have leaks!  Even using the xs!  I wonder if the nasogel is making the mask slip or if the baby shampoo didn't leave slippery residue?  Here are my numbers for last night.

 
And the mask
 
 
I got an email today about the house we are watching.  They reduced the starting bid, but it's still WAY too high!  From $93000 to $85000, at least they are going the right way now, DOWN!
 
 
Sunrise, sunset, swiftly flies the week!
 
 
Pills, Blood Sugar check and BP check, I've been forgetting them this week!
 
 
Too high again.  I need to make a doctor appointment!
 
 
BP a bit high, too.

 
Morning cocoa water.  Don't know how I got hooked on using the Campbell's mugs, but I almost always choose one of them. 
 
 
John and I discussing ways to safely fasten a grist mill stone to a wall in the museum.
 
 
The stone is heavy!  It was used in the grist mill here in RV.  My Rothlisberger great-great grandparents worked in the mill, but it was after they replaced the stones with a machine that ground the wheat using rollers.
 
 
John is taking the bend out of a piece of steel he is going to use in the fastener he's making.
 
 
I watered today. Chili plants
 
 
My sunflower, wow it's tall!
 
 
I gave John a haircut.
 
 
The bulb in my desk lamp died today, I ordered a new one but it won't be here for a week or so.  I miss the light!
 
 
We went to the museum to check out where the grist mill stone will be displayed.  John will make a plate to bolt to the wall where the nails are. 
 
 
Wow, Phelps and Kay have done an awesome job with the museum, can't wait to see it completed!
 
 
My Rothlisberger great-grandparents worked in the grist mill when it used the above machinery.  The owner of the mill, John Peter Rothlisberger, paid their passage to America from Switzerland and they worked for him for a year to pay off the debt. 
 

We drove up to Luna Lake for a picnic, we explored and checked out a part of the lake we'd never been to before.  There is a campground and a store there, we didn't know that!  The store was closed, but we looked through the windows.  We ate our lunch under a pine tree close to the store, it was so peaceful and nice!  We saw ducks swimming on the lake, little birds and big birds flying, I tried to sneak up on some big birds, I got close, but my camera card got full and I couldn't get the close-ups I was hoping for.

 

 
 
 
Dad used to take the boys fishing at Luna Lake, I wonder if they have visited this store?
 


 
 
On the way home the clouds kept getting darker and then we ran into rain.  In spots it was coming down hard!  Go rain!!



 
We hadn't gotten much here at home, but later in the afternoon we got a good steady rain! 
 
 
I was tired so I laid down in the recliner with my cpap and the nook and rested and slept a bit.
 
 
The rain stopped about 4:15.  Smells wonderful outside.
 
 
After the rain we picked up rocks on StoneCrest, then John mowed a bunch of the weeds. 
 
 
John loves his early birthday present!
 
 
After supper we did our usual and watched
 MASH and Bad Ink.
 
 
I caught the sunset from the shop balcony.
 
 
My legs bother me at night and I found that if I wear leg warmers they feel okay.  Lately I've added a cold rice bag to the night time ritual, it keeps me cool until I fall asleep.  I find I sleep better if I'm cool.
