Sat was "lazy" day. We stayed around the campsite. Laundry had to be done - what fun! It would have been a good "beach day" it was a warm,sunny day, but being that we were down to our our last towel & underwear, laundry took priority. Afterward we took a ride around the surrounding area. We were sightseeing &talking and Richard looked at the gas gauge &we were almost on empty. We were out in the "boonies" & I remembered that I heard a ding a while back , but I thought it was on the IPad which we had with us. Actually we realized it must have been the gas warning light. There was nothing but forest around us. We were getting a little nervous ( I was a lot nervous!) Richard was trying to save gas by accelerating & coasting. We finally came to a town and saw a gas station, just in time! Our car has a 12gal tank &it took 11.71 gals!!! I guess the Praying I was doing paid off!!! We went to 5:00 mass and came back &had a cookout.
Sun. Happy St Paddy's Day! The morning we spent grocery shopping for supplies. There was a NASCAR race on t.v., so of course Richard had to watch it! I sat outside relaxing, reading, and watching the boats go by on the water, some large ones.The church we were going to, which is just a small, but very pretty church was having a corned beef / cabbage supper, so we had planned to go. It was a super delicious meal with strawberry shortcake for dessert! Yummy!! The people we were sitting by were very friendly, &made us feel welcome.
Sounds like a wonderful and restful weekend except for the worry of low gas. That happened to us once in Arizona and we drove without A/C until we could find gas.
