Travel day

We had a lazy day yesterday, doing laundry, surfing the net and enjoying being in one spot for two days.  Sweet.

And the day got even better when we met Norm and Harriet for a fab dinner.Norm, Harriet  We met them through motorhoming and have become fast friends.  We were glad they could squeeze us in before hitting the road themselves.  Love you guys!  See y’all in Florida in January for sure.

We hit the road today as well, driving about 300 miles to somewhere in Michigan.  I am not being evasive…we just are not definite about where we will wind up.  With it being a holiday weekend coming up, campgrounds may be pretty full.  Our intent is to stay put and just do day trips in the ‘toad.’ 

Can you believe this is the last day in June?  Happy birthday to Dick’s sister Carolyn, BTW!  This year is flying by entirely too fast.  Or maybe we are just too busy.  Or something.

More miles and smiles!

If it is Wednesday, it must be Ohio

Yes, it is Wednesday and Ohio is where we are.  MM and I left western New York yesterday morning and were at our cg outside Akron by mid afternoon.  It was a BOGO!  I love BOGOs.  We are members of Passport America, whose members offer discount camping. 

This cg offered a free night if we stayed two nights.  Perfect…because we met these two for dinner last night…Loyal and Marge…folks we met on a cruise in France a few years ago and have since cruised with again:

Loyal and Marge

And now we will meet two more friends for dinner tonight.  Notice how we tailor our travels around friends and food?  Smart!  This cg was centrally located between both sets of friends.  Sweet!

So we finally have wifi for the first time since we hit the road 10 days ago.  Using my iPhone exclusively was getting old, since I can’t do everything on it.  Yes, I am rather fond of my computer…and so is MM.  He has been doing some heavy duty surfing on his computer since we got a connection.

We shall enjoy this day of leisure…and no long distance driving.

Life is good!

Hello Pennsylvania!

A brief hello to this west tip of the big state before our Ohio destination near Akron.

Whose idea of making concrete roads??? They are bumpy and awful. Despite that, we have seen several deer and lots of crops and hills, much like Mayberry.

We shall stay two nights, since we are having dinner tonight with Marge and Loyal tonight, and Harriet and Norm tomorrow night. We have friends spread out everywhere. Whew...this is one big country, but we are trying our best to see lots of good folks.

MM thought we had a flat just now, but it was just the sensor Thingy acting up. Behave! We don't want any troubles.

Miles and smiles. Life is good y'all! Except for the no Internet. But still.

Goodbye, NH!

The trella park is now empty. We cooked out with the kids last night Nd said our farewells this morning. Some are on a plane home; some are rolling there soon.

Our plans are to visit some friends in Ohio, then go to Illinois for some work on our fridge.

The weather is absolutely beautiful, and Missy is safely settled under a chair.

Miles and smiles, y'all

Sunny Sunday

So the sky cleared and the sun smiled upon Meg and Jay yesterday. They are officially Mr. and Mrs. and the celebration was joyous. Lots of friends and family attended.

This morning, Bob and Lynne are hosting a family brunch, which will be more intimate Nd relaxing. Most everyone will hit the road or airways tomorrow, but MM and I will stay at least one more day. There are some clean-up chores that need to be done.

I don't know what Blogger did with all my missing posts, so I am trying a different approach. I hope this works. I know y'all will let me know.

Make today special. We are creating some good memories. I hope you will, too!

Busy guy

Dick, electronics man

Dick has been working hard to get Bob’s new radio/MP3 player installed in their moho, along with a new back-up camera.

Well, one step forward, and then two back.  It worked; it didn’t work. 

MM is one determined guy.  He wasn’t about to let one small piece of electronics stymy him, no sirree.  He has worked on bigger pieces than that puny little piece of equipment.

He won!  He is a happy camper.  Bob and Lynne will now enjoy their new stuff.

So today is wedding day for Jason and Meg.  Blessings to you both as you begin your new life together.

Life is good, when everything works as it should.

Trella park

Bell trella park

I posted this photo on Tuesday…and it and all the other iPhone blogs this week are floating out in space somewhere.  Sheesh.  I haven’t changed any settings; that setting used to work.  What’s up???

Maybe because that is the last time we saw the sun?   The humidity must be the problem.  That’s it!  It has been raining all week, and more is expected…for the wedding tomorrow.  Tents went up today.  Yippie.

Wish us luck!  Those kids will get hitched, regardless.
