Bubbles and other stuff

We have found out the Bubbles, the campground dog, is really a guard dog. We have noticed that when a small dog walks by with it's owner - Bubbles hair on her back bristles up, she barks and runs back and forth. She doesn't like the garbage pick truck, doesn't like any delivery trucks, doesn't like Mexicans, and on and on. Once most of the Winter Texans leave the park, she is left out of her cage to roam around. The front gates are always locked and therefore she is left inside to roam - especially at night. There are a number of 'park models' which is a fancy word for RVs that have been put up on blocks and resided and sheds added and for the most part - look nice. Here is another picture of Bubbles in her caged area. There are a couple of park models that, well, what can I say? Oh boy. Some of these park models have people living in them year round - which means in the summer it has to be just unbearable - the heat and humidity. So - we feel better that Bubbles has a totally different life after us Winter Texans go home. She is loved, fed, cared for, just on a different level. Many Winter Texans are packing up and leaving. Today starts the mass exodus. Which makes sense - these are pretty much a monthly rental spots. Our time is up on the 19th but we won't wait that long. We plan to pack up and leave this Thursday for San Antonio, for at least a week then head to Austin. We haven't a clue when we will be back in Vermilion, but that's okay. And we have changed our plans - we will be bringing the RV back to Ohio, living in it while we are there. Then, come middle of July - poof. Gone out west - somewhere. We are waiting for the Mexicans to come today to clean the outside of the RV. It is so filthy from the dust - and having no rain for the last six weeks - very gritty. Bubbles should have a barking conniption fit when they are here - we are very close to her cage. Then out to dinner to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Tomorrow I will be quilting for most of the day, I joined the group that quilts every Tuesday. Then dinner with the couple who suggested we come here - as a goodbye and thank you for suggesting this place. Wednesday is clean up day, laundry, pack, small errand running. Thursday we head to San Antonio.
