Day 79; July 15 -- Goodbye Friends

We got up around 7:30-8:00am.  Got dressed and headed to Dennys for breakfast.  We all had a different version of create your own Grand Slam.
 No, a bomb didn't go off in the camper, the girls were getting organized.  We sure did have a good time!
 Here we are loaded and ready to head for the airport.  Driver is behind the camera!
 Girls informed me they didn't need our help anymore.  They were ready to check-in and take a sleeping pill for the smooth ride to Washington/Los Angles.
Big Bad Wolf and the Bear!  After the girls were delivered to the airport, we went back to a quiet camper.  I did the beds and laundry.  At the laundry room I tried to make coffee.  The pot had been burnt.  PeeUUUU.  I tried to wash it out, put the water in the pot, it proceeded to run out the other end all over the cabinet.  It was a Bunn and had a reserve and I was filling it with the pot that was to catch the coffee.  After I got that cleaned up, I made the coffee and it still stunk.......so useless.

I do have a funny to tell about MK.  The first night she went to the bathroom cabinet and came out with a towel to take a shower.  Driver accidentally stuck his foot in his mouth and asked her if it was big enough for her?  (She had chosen a small towel that I use for my hair.  We have larger ones that we use for bathing!  She got a tickle out of that one!)
We went out to celebrate our 42nd Anniversary at the Cattle Company.  Good Choice on food and Driver/Husband.  We had excellent meals.  We about didn't get back to the campground because they had the road blocked off for construction.
We stayed out too late.  I got the extra speaker and cord Velcro-ed to the side of the wall so Priss and I don't have to take it down and put it back up all the time.  We also got her a new eating system.  She sure was good while the girls were her.  I was afraid that she would drive them crazy but I think she kind of liked them too by the time they were ready to go home!

Tomorrow we head north a few miles.  Then the driver told me he was going down to Valdez for a few days. I told him fine, Prissy and I would go with him.

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!

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
