Leftovers for dinner, with fresh salad.

It’s raining lightly again, so there will be no swimming tonight. Suits me fine, as I’ve just showered and washed my hair.

To whomever needs to know this - the lock on shower room #1 is not latching properly. (Just ask the little girl who walked in on me, thankfully 3 seconds late of being fully traumatized.)

Finally made it up the strip. Picked up a couple of Mega Millions tickets and took the pup meet to meet our friendly Inn Keeper.

God treated us to a brilliant light show on the way home. Got back to the site, and luckily we spotted the skunk before the pup did. Sorry girl, you’re going to have to hold it for a few minutes.

Strawberries and whipped cream time! It’s raining again, so Mike figured the skunk has taken cover somewhere. As long as it’s not under our trailer, he and Daisy should be fine.

We really didn’t do much today, but it was a very nice day. Finally getting to see IK was the icing on the cake.

And yay, the Jays won again. Barely saw any of the game though because the internet connection was trash all day.

Thanks for the reminder about Mega Millions, I have to go get my ticket today. That is a little scary that the skunk keeps coming around. Is there a manager of the campground you can report it to? Maybe they could find some way to repel it from the area, maybe some sort of spray, a quick google search showed me that there are sprays. It also listed smells that skunks don't like that keep them away: Citrus, ammonia, mothballs and predator urine. I know some people who have put mothballs around their home to keep rodents away, maybe that would help.

Their in Tennessee where every man, women, child and infant has a gun. The skunk could easily be neutralized. Leave the skunk, take the Cannoli!

I only just learned that reference the other day. In my defence, I’m not really a Godfather kind of girl.

There are multiple skunks. The campground backs onto the Little Pigeon River. It’s very nature-y here; it’s part of the appeal.

Our next resort will be totally different. Not a blade of grass or shade tree in sight, but we’ll be surrounded by water, and can expect to see manatees everyday in the marina. Our key has its own sunset pier, but you can bet we’ll head down to Key West for a real sunset or two.

As long as no one gets sprayed, it’s all good. To be fair, they were here first. We’re just passing through.

They're all over our neighborhood at night (the skunks, not manatees).
They usually scamper off when they realize a big scary human is out. Just that one time last spring when a little one almost had a go at Angel because it was scared and confused at being barked at.

They are very bold here. They just stare Mike down.

Mike is not too proud to call “Uncle”. The pup is not so smart. We don’t leave her outside by herself.

I offer my foot as proof. 😂😂

Holy heck, I have a high instep. Not so high as to reject paper plates though.
