It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like........

Happy Campers

We put up our little canopy this morning so we have some shade over the picnic table.  We enjoy eating lunches outside when it's nice and our little patio room makes it so we can.  


I got the Pensacola Family presents wrapped today - now to find a box to put them in and then brave the post office lines.  I sent Colorado kids theirs before we left home as they promised to not peek if I did.  I left some at home for Mike and gang and the few things I didn't finish before we left I'll send with Steph and Pierce when they go to Reno.  The pressure is still on, though, to finish up.

Our friend David has put out more decorations!  Eileen is ready to kill him but he just keeps at it.  He's on an end site  with even more room than we have  (Our row has three sites.  We have one and they have one with one in between.)  He has covered most all of it with those blow up decorations.  Our in-between neighbor, Tom, told him today that he was "running out of real estate."   I told David that I wanted to add a wreath to the ladder on back of the RV but Roger wanted to know where I was going to store it when the holidays were over, so I gave up on the idea.

back of the RV.

David came through - gave me one of four that he had lined up to put up on his RV and said he'd take it back when we were finished!  So, now we have a wreath on the back as well as the one by the door.  That's it for us!!  Nothing very exciting.

As I seem to do most trips, I managed not to pack the correct weight outerwear.  I have  heavy sweatshirts and a raincoat, but no lightweight jacket/windbreaker/whatever.  I sure needed one the last few days, so yesterday I bought one that will stay in the RV with the above mentioned items so next year I don't have to buy another one.  I have a ton at home.   Today it was 76 degrees.  Oh, well.  I'll be ready for the cool , rainy days projected next week.  

Yesterday we took a long walk around the park with the Maggie and then went in search of those small memory cards for my camera.  No one carries them. Who in their right mind wants such a small one?  I got some really strange looks and shakes of the head from clerks in the stores.   Had to order one on-line.  We encountered massive traffic in the parking lots of all the stores - and it was only Friday.  We opted not to leave the RV park today or tomorrow.  Just too many people and it's only going to get worse as the month progresses.  

Washing machines and dryers now take ATM cards!!  The plus side:  Convenient.  No more saving up or buying quarters to do our laundry.  The down side:  you find out how much it really costs when you check your bank on-line.   When you are just plugging quarters in the machines you tend to lose track of how much you are spending and that the cost has gone up since last year, but when the numbers show up in black and white, it is a shock to the system.  $15 for four loads of laundry.  Yikes!!!!  

Another quiet day planned for tomorrow.  Will check back in probably on Monday unless tomorrow turns into an adventure of some sort.
