Day Off Monday
Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:29 amHi All,
Ah, a day off. Course that depends on what one defines as a "day off". Maybe have a day off from the work that gives us a pay check, but well, there's always shopping to do, house to clean for those of us with stick and bricks and..... But hey, I can do what I want and not have to work by the clock
Shopping on the agenda this morning, followed by doggie baths when I get home. It's cloudy and going to rain, but they both need a bath, especially Tessa. Figure maybe she will l feel better if she's all nice and clean, especially in the light of her urinary tract infection which makes her "P" more than normal. She's perked up since we stopped the other antibiotics, but with the new ones, she's not eating as much as normal. I'm sure her tummy is upset with all this medicines. But she's out going for walks everyday. Tomorrow is vet appt. day again and if she is not responding to this new med, which I think she isn't, we are going to stop all meds for 7 to 10 days and send a culture to Michigan State University's school of Vet Medicine and see what they find. I don't feel good about the outcome of all this, so mght have to make that decision down the line. We shall see.
Park was crazy busy this weekend with three different parties having their events at the park. Both of our picnic shelters and Activity bldg were full of people celebrating birhtday's and what not. We put tarps on both shelters to break the 30 mph wind that was coming right straight down the lake and blowing everything off the tables etc. No fun in that. Kept my partner and i busy for a bit there. The campground was about 3 sites short of being full and a lot of families, many small children and of course bikes, kids and people all over the pleace especially on the campground roads. Also kept the bathrooms busy as well. So was hectic day on Saturday. Needless to say, I'm tired this morning. Sunday is more laid back cause the majority of the park leaves and it is much quieter and more relaxing for us.
Dawn, so glad to hear you had your closing. Now we are all awaiting the news that you can get your money and get that MH delivered today. Then the adventure can begin. Before you know it, you will be off and on the road.
BJ, the issue of propane on or off has always been the source of much debate. Here in MI, you are not allowed to have an open flame when gassing up. Now, the fridges run on the propane and there is the chance of an unexpected little leak outside you might not be aware of or the pilot light goes on about that time or something. Any gas fumes in the air around there and well, need I say more. I used to leave my propane off unless I was parked in the campground. Figured that the fridge was cold, and if not opened, should stay cold enough to keep things cold and frozen. The frozen stuff in the freezer acts as an ice block anyway per say. Figured that if I were going to park someplace for a period of time while on the road, can always turn on that propane and let it run while parked. Years ago when we travelled and still do, with a good steel belted cooler, a block of ice would keep things cold for a week despite the temps. It's everybodys personal call.
Echo, you be careful with that hand. Don't want to damage it any more. As to that old TT, either your son gets it ifthe other couple changes their mind or you can always sell it for scrap metal and make some green
Ava, hard to believe that the kids are in school where you are. We have about three more weeks before they start here although HS sports seasons are starting within the next week or so. Schools can't start till after Labor Day, by law in MI>
Soos is hosting her Ruckus in the Mountains this week. Hope those who showed up are haivng fun.
Barbzee, I think I might have one of Mruphy's off spring here too with Tessa's urinary tract infection going on and on. But sorry, the only thing I can say about your latest episode is
Of course not funny at the time.
Just had a bowl of strawberries for breakfast. Toaster hunt on the agenda this morning as well as some shopping. Stock the freezer time as there are sales on meats etc. and we all know prices are heading upwards
Well, time to go through the sale papers and see where and what I need, head into town, come back and get a doggie bath off the ground here. Sounds like everybody's keeping busy, things are just rolling along for the most part, summer is winding down and plans being made for winter events and dreams for next summer. I will be busy getting and looking through travel stuff this winter and working on routes and places I want to see for my trip in 2014. I know that's down the road a bit, but take time to plan out. Got to read through blogs of those who have been there, done that, to seek out all the "little stuff" along the way. Plan is to head west through Mt. Rushmore, Black Hills, Custer State Park area and on out the Yellowstone, Grand Tetons etc. in summer of 2014. So get your planning caps on, those of you who want to go someplace.
Have a wonderful day all.

The rest of the day I'll take it easy and I don't have any other plans other than taking one of those chicken breasts and making Chicken Parm for Dinner tonight...see I do get something ...hahaha...Oh and Hubby made trail mix...he's so proud of his version of trail mix...Dawn you'll get to sample it when you come to the house...
Guy that owns this park is a jerk and a half. When I came off the freeway, I couldn't see how to get in the park so I pulled down a half a block and into the parking lot of an rv repair place,
