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!

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

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 little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

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 for a drive, I wanted to
