A fabulous day greeted us this at first crack of the Castle's door to check the outside.

That is the morning sunshine that slammed happily into our eyes to start our day. And the day got better as it went along.

The temp was about 67F and a hint of a breeze. When we finished breakfast the Teams looked at each other and got them walking shoes on and away we went to gather in all those good feelings out there. A new combination of trails was chosen and boy were they good. We ended up walking along what we call Flint Creek Beach when the lake levels are down and here is what it looks like on a good day.

From here we motivated along the trails toward the Tennessee River junction where there is a bench to rest and enjoy watching the river flow by as Flint Creek joins it from the left. This is a very good bench location in the hot summer time. Lots of shade here then.

A little farther along is where we like to turn back to the campground and we did. You get your choice of three return routes and we chose to stay near the creek for our return. It ended up being 2.86 miles of walking and was just right today.

Then we had lunch with our normal lunch person Jerry and a wonderful time of visiting. His girlfriend is on her way back from nursing a friend down in lower Florida and he is glad to know she is headed back home.

After lunch the OFM Teams went back to the Castle to work on the latest coloring but a nap got in the way and delayed things about 45 minutes AND IT FELT REALLY GOOD. But we did finish the coloring Gray Bird and mounted the coloring in a handy frame for your enjoyment.

That pretty well takes care of a very good day of enjoyable events for the OFM Teams.

Sleep well and have tooooo much fun tomorrow.
