No, I didn't disappear, just been busy and haven't been on here these past few mornings. Nice to see a few more daily posts out there. Been working on my fence here, moving it back just a tad in a couple of areas and strengthening it up. One more section to adjust and will be done period. Also been running errands and picking up stuff. Bought a new table and chair set for my kitchen and was putting that together last night. Pretty warm and humid here, so not into too much right now. Work up a sweat just trying to get something accomplished.
Miss Mermaid, I know how you felt in that storm you were in a few days ago. I had similar experience on my trip west last year on my way home. Extremely bad storm hit the campground in Kennebec, SD in middle of night. None of us had chance to head for the safety of the buildings. Molly woke me up as I was sleeping. Had felt the trailer kind of shudder a bit but thought nothing of it till she woke me up and I saw all the lightening going on and the power going on and off. Then really felt the trailer starting to shake. By that time was fully awake, put on some socks etc., grabbed my hat and coat and leashed Molly and we stumbled from trailer to my truck. Was drenched by time I got her in . Spent rest of storm sitting in truck feeling the shuddering of it all. By the time all was said and done, one large 5er had been tipped on it's side despite being hitched to the truck, and a pop up camper two sites over was also flipped on side. The one behind me stayed up right but was turned sideways. Needless to say, those of us in park all crowded into the main building once the storm subsided. Women, men, children, dogs, babies, you name it and stayed there till we knew no more were coming and then returned to our rigs. Some opted to go to the courthouse where there was a storm shelter and sleep the rest of the night. When daylight came, I found that an aluminum picnic table on my site had been picked up and flipped into side of my trailer and punched a hole in siding. Also, all the jack blocks I had under my stabilizer jacks were gone
Found them later a couple of sites over and in the road out front. The roof of the campground office had been ripped off, letting rain pour in and destroyed the computer system and all the stuff in the little store. Winds were cocked at 90 miles an hour. Kennebec's big grain elevator had also been shredded and I saw pieces of metal laying across the expressway when I left. SD campers who were in the park assured me that storm was not the norm for out that way.Sounds like you gals in PA are enjoying some good weather and soon to be good company too. Have fun. Martha, I too got a kick out of your long nosed buddy in the pond. Hope it left though. Alice, sounds like you are making progress in purging and Catherin, good luck on living situation. JudyJB, enjoying your tales of family and your outings. Over the years I have gotten to where I like being in campgrounds were people are around. Maybe it's cause I live alone and am not around people that much.
Heading off to town this morning for two new storm doors for the house as neighbor and son are going to install them and also do some remodeling on the deck for me. Things are shaping up slow but sure here.
Hope you all have a nice day out there. Keep cool and watch those storms, the which of will be here this afternoon. Stay safe.
DD has wifi in her house, which is so nice for me !!
