Sunday, July 18

There are services on Sunday morning in the little chapel with the tornado shelter in the basement. I decided to attend with 17 others which included the pastor and his wife (owners of the campground) and other campers. It was really a very nice thing to do and a good way to start the day. The church built in 1890 in another location. When the pastor and his wife learned that the church was going to be destroyed, they had it moved to this location.
The neighbors next to us are from Melbourne, FL, and are full-timers in their travel trailer after living aboard their sailboat for 12 years. She is a pretty fun gal, full of interesting stories and a walker (good for me). She and I walked about 7 miles today, making our way around Clear Lake and into the cute little town, named for the lake. The town has many shops and cafes and a beautiful public park where lots of free activities and concerts. We also walked through a lovely garden in the center of town, free and open to the public. The lake is quite big and very busy with every kind of boating and water sport. While I walked, Ivan spent another few hours at Best Buy, exiting with “0” once again, but making a comfort stop at Dairy Queen for ice cream. That works!!!
