Sunday Funday!

Today we walked to church. The camp church has grown since last year! We met some new friends who love to play cards!  

Then we walked back to our camper and started getting visitors! First Linda and Randy, then Bill then Duwayne. It felt like the old days when people would randomly stop in for a Sundsy afternoon visit! ❤️ 

Duwayne was born at the same hospital i was born in. His daughter,  Joy, was only 2 pounds, born in 1963, at Shelby Hospital as well. She went blind from not having her eyes covered when under the incubator lights. She called while Duwayne was at our place and I chatted with her a few minutes.  We had met last year in the laundromat when she was here visiting her dad. She is a remarkable independent woman with a career and quite the traveler. She was a Queen for the Lions Club for the whole state of Michigan at one point and had to travel all over the state of Michigan.


After all the visitors,  we sat out in the sun and Shaggy got a haircut! Now that the colder days are behind us he doesn't need the extra fur.

Today also is laundry day....we were running out of our warm clothes so we were happy to finally get a warm sunny day where we can wear our shorts!

Then we went for a bike ride through the park. Paul wanted to watch football then so we had popcorn 🍿 of course!

Icy Trails

After taking an early morning shower, we went out to breakfast (could not find a local diner OR coffee shop...so good ol Mickey D's). Back at the campsite, we loaded up our camper and began heading out. However, the campground was so icy, our truck and camper began to slip and slide and couldn't make it up the slight incline to get onto the highway! We had to get out of the truck to be sure we weren't going to slide into the ditch or hit something. There were some nail biting moments as we tried to back out to find another way out of the slippery icy campground.  Thankfully we slid into some snow that gave us some traction. Phew!  We finally made it and breathed a huge sigh of relief once we transitioned from the ice to dry paved and plowed roads. As we traveled through Missouri we saw this sign.... So we really feel like we traveled some long miles today!! We also drove past the arch... then through southern Illinois and into Kentucky...and finally saw the sign we had been...

Traveling RVers - Day 1

Image
 This morning we loaded up the truck and we (along with Shaggy) headed over to the camper to hook up to the 5th wheel.  We were a bit apprehensive as our auto leveling system has been fickle this year, but despite frigid temperatures and a blinking orange light, we were able to raise up the "leveling legs". In no time we were pulling ahead, checking lights, chiseling out the frozen chocks from the earth, and hitting the road. We are blessed to have very little wind and wide open roads! We are taking a less traveled road to avoid Chicago and heading instead through Iowa and into Missouri.  Shaggy, as always, has been a good traveler. This will be his first long distance trip without his life partner, Daphne.  We arrived in Bowling Green, Missouri at a campground there called Cozy C RV-- I am afraid the temperatures here are colder than they are at home!! MN temp tonight was 24... temp here in MO was 22! We are feeling adventurous as we set up our camper for our first ...

Rainy Day RV Show and Getting Spooned

Image
 After a good night's sleep, we had a simple breakfast of coffee and yogurt and headed out to wash our truck.  It had gotten pretty dirty after many miles of driving down here (about 1800 miles!).  So it really needed it!  Paul was able to hose down our camper at the resort yesterday after we arrived, so it is looking presentable and the truck turned out pretty nice. Then we headed out to our destination-- the Tampa RV show which is supposed to be the biggest RV show in the USA.  We went last year and had a fabulous time.  There are so many entertainers and fun new gadgets and widgets, new ways of organizing things in campers, etc.  We LOVE to see the new RVs and models that are out as well...we saw the new Durango Golds and were so impressed!  Even more so than the Brinkley's which I fell in love with last year.  We also toured some vans (which go for around $250,000!!)  I can't believe how expensive those camper vans are!  We also...
