Hank, As often the case Im thinkin along the same lines as Jim there, either a minor short causing a trickle discharge or else the battery is simply bad and self discharges. The shops will give the battery a look n see n give it a load test at no cost, may as well go for that. See if theres electrolyte above all the battery plates and that no cells have a gray or milky look indicative of a bad cell. Or remove a battery cable when you park her n see if she still disacharges meaning a baddddddd battery, but if not then were back to a minor trickle dischage short. As far as a short, if youre there when its on the dark side if you remove a battery cable (like the ground cable where it attaches to frame) and then sort of scratch n bump n rub it up against a clean (no rust or paint but clean shiny metal) place where it attaches, if theres a short lil sparkies will take place indicating a curent draw. Jim has ya covered as far as rigging up a test light to look for a shorting ground path also.
