Thursday, June 14 - TT South Jetty, Florence OR 97439

This morning we are saying a sad goodbye to Lois and Larry, they have an eight hour drive ahead of them to get back home to Northern California as Larry’s dear 95 year old Mum broke her hip and she is not doing so well in hospital.  But first they take us with them into town so we can get fresh supplies to last us here for the next five days, saving us from having to take the coach out for groceries.  We’re gonna miss you guys and HH will not be as much fun without you!

 

The sun is out and our site is a sunny one – a good choice.  I get a lot of reading done outside in the fresh air finishing one book and starting another and Kim potters outside then attacks the water pump which sometimes leaks into the fresh water holding tank overfilling it.  When he reinstalls the pump after the repairs, it still isn’t right so we get on our bikes and ride up to the corner of the main road where very conveniently Country Roads Recreation (an RV repair and parts place) is situated and they have a new pump in stock which will do the job.  How lucky is that?  The new pump works perfectly and is so quiet!

Around 3.30pm high cloud dilutes the sun and it gets a tad breezy to stay outside so we migrate indoors where Kim has a well deserved nana-nap and I have a go at our tax returns!!  Dumb IR website won’t save my drafts - I will l try again later.  Feeling virtuous though.
