Mornin' ladies~~~
Time flies doesn't it? Currently at Camp Orland Park (Dad's) until mid-August, unless the folks drive me nuts before then. Going to multiple senior communities to try to get Ma to move & other things on the agenda.
Met Eileen (beazle) for lunch yesterday. Always good to see her.
That's it from me. Have a good day & stay safe wherever you are.

Cheryl, best wishes on the adult residential hunt with your mom. It takes courage to face the future. May your Mom be ready and open to it.
Getting ready to pull out of the driveway to Lima, Ohio, and three days of dog showing in heat wave warnings. Not looking forward to that part. I will make sure to fill up the gas tank so when/if the fairground electric grid goes down from high demand I still have a source to cool us all down in the rig.
And next weekend Josef and I are heading to Dekaulb, IL for a Sat and Sun day show. Given there are no hook up for rigs and it is all just a parking lot and more importantly a two day drive both ways in an RV.....Josef's other mother Cindy and I will make the drive in a van and stay in a motel....... It is easily a one day drive for two people in a car..... (
hint, hint...Cheryl...)

great minds think alike Tina. First thing I thought when I read your post. I'm open both days so may show up to get away for a day. Guessing we should see if the fish taco place is still there too.

OK, don't get me confused. I'm pretty sure it's Thursday. If it's not I forgot to put the trash out. lol
My friend Carolyn and I made a fast trip to Florida to get my new to me motorhome. It's a 2010 Coach House 26 foot. The people I bought it from are from Georgia and they met us half way. My bank was very worried about this but looks like everything is ok. It came with a 2001 Mazda Miata that is set up to tow. I really don't need another car but you know how much it costs to get one tow ready. I wanted to see if I could do it. Towing is going to be a new experience. The motorhome is like new inside and out. I'll have to work on getting a picture posted. I don't know how I'm going to get all my junk moved out of the old one in this heat.

Martha, congratulations on the new motorhome and toad with the towing package! The most difficult part will be learning how to hook the car to the motorhome, but once you've done it a few times, it'll be second nature. Just make sure each and every step is done, so you may want to make a list, or cheat sheet, as I call it. I'm looking forward to pictures.

Yes, it is Thursday.
Martha, congrats on your new RV/toad! What are you gonna do with the old one?
Just hanging out at home cleaning today until I go to work later this afternoon. Looks like a nice, sunny, cool day. It has been staying in the upper 60's/low 70's which is perfect!
Tomorrow I will be driving up to San Clemente in the early afternoon (to avoid rush hour) and hanging out at one of the beaches before going to a psychic/medium group session in the evening. I bought a ticket for this back in January but couldn't go then because I had the flu, so am using the ticket for this one.
Sunday, I plan to go to the SD county fair. It ends on July 4th so time is running out to get there.
No plans for the 4th yet. My community is having a BBQ in the afternoon so I might do that. Not sure about going to see fireworks yet.
Hope all of you in the midwest and eastern areas stay cool!

Cheryl, when I get up in the mornings, I look at the date on the lower right hand corner of my laptop, because I have no idea what day it is. I'm happy to hear you get as confused as I do. Only problem was, that since you lost a day, I told Steve we needed to get to MD to get to the next campground! LOL! Our lives are in jello so it's no big deal.

Irmi, you cracked me up because I was in no hurry this morning... Saw Friday in the post headline and ran offline to get ready to head to the store... Big order coming tomorrow morning. Luckily I figured it out before rushing down... But was almost panicking for a minute.
Because of the idiocy of Frito, I've changed the store over to Old Dutch products and probably will, for the most part, stop purchasing Frito products even for myself. So today, which originally I was going to go for a morning scooter ride, changed. I got Old Dutch product last week, but today would be the first time my regular driver would be in... Figured I should be around to show him our set up, etc. BTW, according to him Old Dutch has gained 4 of us in the last two weeks. I think Frito will be rethinking their idiotic ways... But too late. I do believe they thought we'd all be sheep and follow their changes. Ha.
This afternoon it's too hot to consider the scooter... I'm such a fair weather fiend when it comes to the scooter or kayaking LOL

Barbie, I'm going to sell my old motorhome if I ever get moved out. It's almost 5:30 in the afternoon and it's still 92. I have had a few friends ask me about it in the past.

Good afternoon. Had a great time in Bandon and will miss those ladies (Sandi and Linda) Laura and I are back to camping in "civilization". We now have all the amenities our hearts desire LOL Had a good drive over then after set up and pup walking we cooked fresh oysters that we bought at the coast. MMMMMM sooooo good. We had oysters, baked potato, cauliflower and salad. I am stuffed. We will be here for 3 days. Gotta love Passport America.
Love your new Motorhome Martha. Your tow car is pretty darn cute too. You are stylin'.
76° here with a light breeze, unusual for this time of year here. BUT I will take it.

congratulations Martha looks like a sweet set up...I am sure that you will get the move over
done in a timely order...although now would probably be a better time to sell the old unit.
anyway don't over do or over stress over it
