Let me see....yesterday was a long time ago.....can I remember?

While I was making Dirt Cake for Adam, Gary went to the country to visit Edwin Buie.  I cleaned a little.  He came back just in time for lunch.  We went to the old local hang-out for high school kids....now just the old ones are hanging.


I had the special of cheese burger and bacon-cheese fries.  A new treat; but way too much to eat.  The fries were drenched in nacho cheese and real bacon bits.  They still make the old fashion sodas too.  I had a cherry Pepsi.

OK, I went back to the camper to start on dinner, balance the bank statements, and listen to some music.  Gary went for a ride down memory lane.  This is a picture of the Carman Home.  He can't figure out if they are tearing it down or trying to fix it.....sad state of building.
 This is the creek/river that the old cover bridge use to cross.  I remember wading in the stream when it was really hot in the summer.  Sure wish I could swim.  Beautiful picture.  Might have to frame it!  I just showed Gary a picture of the creek and commented on how well it turned out.  He said that is where he used to fish, swim, and take a bath,,,,oh, the good ole days.


 This is MaMa's House.  Finally all the extra "stuff" is gone and it has returned to its peaceful state.  Thanks to Dale Bergman and Ed Null for building this home for only $500 labor.  She sure was in "High Cotton" for a few years.
Laura, Kent, Adam, and Kevin joined us for dinner.  We had smothered steak, potatoes/gravy, corn, oyster crap, rolls ,slaw, and dirt cake.  I wanted to express our thanks for all the meals they include us.

Weather was great.  Sunny, warm, and Gary actually slept in the bed last night because it was warm enough the heater could keep us with the temperature.

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
