Busy at Ordway

It's hard to believe that we have been here for 3 weeks already. The other volunteer couple, another Bob and his wife Pam moved in the same day that we did. They are fun people and I enjoy working with Bob. Ordway is still a great place to be with deer and turkeys all along the roads.

There are also many smaller creatures here too like the little fence lizards. We even had one in the motorhome the other day.

Last time we were here I had to work 4 days a week. This time they changed it to 3 days a week, so I usually go back over to the other place across the road and run the backhoe 1 or 2 days a week.

One afternoon this week our job was to check out 4 canoes that hadn't been used for a few years by paddling them around the lake. The weather was calm and about 70 degrees so it was an enjoyable task. 

Last Saturday we went to a nearby get together of vintage camper owners. They had them open for display so we wandered around them for awhile. I forgot my camera so I had to use the phone for pictures.

Yesterday we went to a state park near here for a Yesterdays Festival. Vintage military displays, old cars and tractors, historical items, cannon firing and tram rides. The weather was great and we enjoyed it.

On the way, we stopped at a farmer's market and Janice was feeding a goat wrapped in a sweatshirt in her arms.

Christmas and More

One morning we spotted this guy outside the motorhome. It was a coral snake, one of the most poisonous snakes around here. Very pretty but with the neighbor kids running around here, we decided it was best to kill it.

There was a fence in front of the motorhome, so we decorated it with rope lights and ornaments and added a christmas tree. It still seems a little strange to have christmas decorations and green grass

Christmas day was spent at home with just the two of us.

Santa was nice to me and brought me a drone.

There are quite a few things to learn about operating this drone and I am still working on it.

It seems to take pretty good pictures and video.

On January 3, we moved over here to Ordway-Swisher where we will be for three months. We have the same campsite as last time.  The weather has been cold this week with overnight lows below freezing. This is white sand in the picture though, not snow.

This is the view behind the motorhome.

Our work trucks parked in front of the motorhome

They are in the process of setting up a laundry/storage building across from our motorhome. It will be nice to have a laundry here, but I don't know if it will be done before we leave.
