Thumpity Thump UPDATE

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Point Mallard Campground

Date: June 23, 2023



For some reason the Bayfield Bunch site cannot be received here since last night. 

Check the comments and see where we now know that the Bayfield Blog is having computer type trouble and not folks troubles.

We got in a nice brisk walk again this morning. Along the way we got to meet a new pup and two new folks who were very friendly. That made our day really well.

The best pic we got this morning was of this very delightful bench location.



We have rested and massaged incalcatrant muscles and/or joints several times at this location over the last 12 years. It was always a welcome site when on the trail.

Most all of the rest of the day was used working on a new water color painting that we should have ready tomorrow for displaying. It is a small format painting of about 2.75 inches each direction. It was fun to paint and so far we have about four hours in it. Water color painting is a lot faster than colored pencil painting. Especially since we are using water color pencils for the water color. We can put on the pencil first in a free style to get the color on the paper and then water it down or tip the wet brush with water color from the pencil tip as required. Either way works well but the OFM needs a lot more practice.

We were sitting here thinking about what else to write about and we noticed a lot of thumping going on in the area. Then we remembered we have a cornhole tournament here in the campground on the big July weekend coming up. Probably we will get to listen to a lot of thumpity thump until that tournament is finished.

In the mean time we need to get busy trying harder at having tooooo much fun.

  1. I've can't get the Bayfield Bunch blog either. Have no clue. And can't email without access to his email address. Hope somebody can.
    That is a tiny painting you're working on. I don't see how you can do it!!! Post a photo of it when/if you are so inclined.

    1. It is small and my eyes definitely need new glasses, I have not done much art work in several weeks since I got to grandkid land.

  3. I emailed Al. Am anxiously watching to see if he answers. Scary. So many things I can think of. As I was checking on Barney, I hoped to see a mention of Al, since I know he is a follower. It says "too many redirects". Wonder if that's because so many are trying to find him. I am not a blogger, so know little, but have talked with Al many times via email.

  5. Hi, again, Barney. I just got an answer from Al. He says Kelly has been working on the problem all day. They get the same message we get; nomidea what happened or how to fix. At least it's just a technical problem; not something worse. It's all one big family here. Al is sure missed when something happens.

  6. I told Al that I would ask you to broadcast the info. You know more people than I do.
