Day 38; June 4 - Back to Normal

We got up on this beautiful sunny Saturday in Montana.  The weather was finally cooperating.   We had left-over ham chunks and gravy on biscuits.  

This is the view from the "Pinto" of the Chevrolet dealer in Helena, MT.  When we got there the truck was only 15 minutes away from being done.
 While I patiently waited in the car, Gary was drooling over the new trucks.  I decided I should take a picture of my new bag.  Billfold on the front, place for my calendar and paperwork on the front, the back has a pouch big enough for my Nook.  Inside has pockets for my make-up, camera, and phone.  Probably one of the best bags for travelling.  Yeah, JC Penney and their big sales.  (I got a new bra too!)
 Boy, am I a good driver?  I took this intersection and took this picture at the same time.  This is Gary in the truck as we head to the airport to return the rental car.  (The helicopter is on a post!)  I bet you thought we needed body work now!
 It is the time of day for his glass of sweet tea!



After we finished having our snack for the day, we headed north east of town to the Canyon Ferry Lake and Dam.  The water was a perfect blue.  The locals were out on the lake and starting their summer tans.  I believe this is one of the best days for this spring.
 The little town of York was a little further up the road.
Driver is happy and whistling again.  Truck is humming, Boss is quiet, Dog is home laying on the sofa!
BACK TO NORMAL!

After we got back to the camper, I watched a little baseball and then it was time for RFD.  Gary took a shower and settled in his chair and when I offered to cook, you know he didn't put up a fight.  So we had tuna salad.  I found this recipe in the Woman's Day magazine and adjusted to our taste..  We like it!

2 cans of tuna
chopped onion (green)
chopped green and red peppers

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
