WEATHER: Mostly sunny. Highs around 50
We took a nice walk around town. George stopped to chat with everyone he saw.....ladies from the mobile library, gentlemen tending the bowling club lawn, the caravan park (RV park) owners, and our neighbor. While he chatted, I took photos.
This is the bed of Lake Learmonth. It sadly has almost completely dried up. Some people say that it will fill up again; others say not. 
There is a beautiful trail along the lake with nice picnic areas. This is some new artwork....
Years ago, when the lake was full, this was quite a resort town. When the resort business "dried up", they turned the resort motel into a long-term care home. How brilliant!
Too many times, people just let buildings decay, rather than do something like this clever repurposing.
We had lunch in our local cafe, bruschetta with avocado and mushrooms. It was a full house.....glad to see they are doing a good business. We confirmed a seat for Friday night pizza with the locals.
As I've said, residents seem to take great pride in this town, Learmonth. They have a Facebook page called Loving Learmonth. Today, we received an email via our homeowners from "friends of Learmonth" inviting us to a fireside story-telling session at the pub on Sunday. How delightful!
DINNER: Leftover chili. Even better this time....seems to have grown, too!
