Rainbows, RVs, and Remembering

After nearly 2 inches of rain we were rewarded with a complete rainbow that would have taken 5 wide angle cameras taped together to photograph. Of course, by the time I saw it it was fading but still had better color than this photo would suggest.

OK, we have been active beyond chasing rainbows. This week is the Tampa RV show and of course I broke my promise and went anyway. Hundreds of  RV dealers, suppliers of bells and whistles, and RV resort reps, (with hundreds of RVs) were there with order pads, financing agreements and prices you could get if you ready to deal. We survived aside from paying way too much for food, walking far more than we should, and driving in Tampa-St. Pete.

The day was capped with dinner at the home of a fellow from my hometown, Fox River Grove, Illinois. So around a rather excellent pork tenderloin and a moderate amount of wine, we recalled the old times, for the benefit of our wives, and it was all true, give or take a lie or two (reference the movie Sunset). The following day it rained and was about 50 degrees. I cannot wait for winter to end. Today it is sunny and 60, maybe winter has ended.
