Day 45; June 11 - Rested to a Tee!

I say, "It is too bad that the only rest and time to read is when you go do the laundry."  Weather has been sunny. Cool at nights and warms into the 60's in the day.  Perfect!

We headed to the post office to mail some cards.  I had stuck US postage on them and then the brain kicked in and I realized I'm not in Kansas anymore.  Got to the post office and it closes on Saturday and Sunday.  Don't expect any cards from us for a few more days.
We went to a Farmer's Market at the local Coop.  They had many plants.  Great looking tomato plants with blooms.  Homemade jewelry.  Homemade birdhouses and some homemade western art.  I saw nothing I could live without.

 The above picture is my creation of a computer lap workstation.  I have room for my computer, mouse pad, and a little cubby hole for my extra cords and pens.  I made it from a $4.00 rack I found at Wal-Mart.  Boy, does it make working a lot easier.  Looks a little strange sitting there on top of the printer.  We put the printer back together with super glue and tape.  I also covered a piece of foam rubber for it to sit on my lap so I didn't get creases in my lovely legs.  (Couldn't tell if I had more wrinkles or work creases.)
 Look at the utensil rack (you can't find the old fashion kind anymore, these were little tie and belt racks found in the closet organization area) Gary hung for me above the wasted space above the microwave.  I was always looking for something in a tiny drawer that wouldn't let anything out without me screaming at it.  Now I can cook, grab, and not scream at anything other than Gary.
My new Crock Pot.  We have a lovely roast cooking so when we get home from roaming around the providence of Canada we will have a nice warm dinner ready.

That's about it for today!  Love to all and keep in touch with us with all your news!  (We are having a good time; but we do miss you too!)

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

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

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
