Friday, 14 July – Harbor View RV Resort, Colonial Beach, VA

Another hot one!  When the pool was measured at 9am this morning the water temp was 89F!!  The outside temp at the same time was similar.  At least this pool has a 10 ft deep part which is slightly cooler than the shallower 3-5ft depths.  Spent the afternoon in and out of the pool - about a million times.

Thunderstorms are forecast, 90% chance and they arrive on time at 5pm with a cooling deluge of rain and some wind.  Respite!

In the evening we watched America’s Got Talent, although the signal came and went due to the ‘storm’ and then straight after there was a two hour long tribute to Willie Nelson who won the 'Gershwin Prize for Popular Songs' in 2015.  Famed musicians Paul Simon, Neil Young, Cindy Lauper, Roseanne Cash, Alison Krauss and others sung Willie’s songs while he sat in the audience and applauded them – must have been strange for him to see and hear his music performed by others while he is sitting right there! At the end Willie and his two sons, Lucas and Mica did some songs concluding with “On the Road Again” – a fabulous night’s entertainment.  

There have been 8 honorees of this prize since it started - Smokey Robinson, Billy Joel, Carole King, Burt Bacharach, Hal David (had to Google him, a lyricist who worked with Burt Bacharach), Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon (who was the first recipient).

A late night for us and off to bed with the lyrics still playing in our heads!  Love ya Willie xx
