Cleaning up

In reading the RV Travel newsletter this morning they talked about the importance of knowing how to take a Navy Shower. I think everyone should know how because you never know when the knowledge might come in handy. Water is a very important commodity and becoming more so all the time.
Butch rangered yesterday from 2 to 9. For those who do not know, that is essentially the police force on the golf course making sure the pace is kept up with and no one is doing stupid stuff they shouldn't be and also to help those with troubles of various sorts such as running out of gas or flat tires on the carts. So while he was busy and not underfoot I decided to clean windows and screens in the RV. It needed done and was long overdue. And now I have a new outlook on life. Things are much clearer now. Smileycons!
I have found Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner to be most effective in the cleaning of screens. I remove the screens from the window and lay them on an old bath towel, lightly spray with Scrubbing Bubbles and then wipe off with a rag. I do both sides. They are sparkling when I get done. Things stay so clean here (Michigan) that it is one of the few times I felt like this chore will last awhile. Yippee!!

Today was a get up early day for Butch and the mowing of the greens. It is staying dark longer now so he doesn't have to get up and at it quite so early. I decided to get my walk in early as there was rain in the forecast and as a I write this there are raindrops tap tapping on the roof.
Tonight there will be entertainment in The Barn. Someone new we haven't heard before. Michael Lee Seiler
So 7:00 PM will find us at The Barn to find out what Michael has to offer.
There is a parade and celebration in Hillman today. Not sure how much we will take in but we do plan to look it over some . The parade starts at noon.
