Catching Up

I have no recollection of what we did Thursday but we took Sam and Morgan to Red Robin for dinner when their parents went to a class reunion dinner.   They were also picking up Kristin at the airport.  I was spending the night so Ted could go shooting while we girls attended the baby shower.  It was a nice affair.  Here is the mother to be, a grandma and two great grandmas!

The gift that touched Ally most was a smaller version of her Bun-Bun!  She received the bunny when she was 10 months old and it was bigger than she was.  It was her constant companion and she rubbed its one cheek until she created a hole.  It has been in the cedar closet at her mother’s.  The new Bun-Bun Jr. has his name embroidered in his ear.  It made Ally cry!

We went to church at our old parish and saw a few ladies that remembered us.  We have been gone since 1996 so it is amazing anyone remembers us.  We all went to Kelly’s and some of the young folks that were at the shower came over.  We threw a bunch of stuff together to feed everyone and it was a fun time!

Sunday we hit the road again.  We were not in a big hurry because the Amish town of Shipshewana is closed up tighter than a drum on Sunday.  We were anxious to see Tom and Eileen, our old FL neighbors, though.  We set up the RV next to the repair facility and then went to the park where they were.  We decided to drive to Nappanee to determine how long it would take Monday morning and also to find a place to eat.  We found the RV tours gathering spot and ate
 at an Italian restaurant,

The next morning we closed up the RV so they could pull it inside.  The routine maintenance and repairs were going to take two days because two panels would need painting because our blown tire damaged them.

We went back to the Newmar plant to take the tour.  It was so thorough and well done, and lasted 3.5 hours.  Their motorhomes are well built and beautiful.  On the way home we stopped in Middlebury to eat at Das Dutchmen Essenhaus.   We had a great lunch. The Amish are outstanding cooks!

Tuesday we all went to the flea market until we needed to pick up the trailer.  We then took it to Lambright where we bought our new furniture to have the couch “stops” increased in height because it had repeatedly hopped out and jammed itself against the wall.  We them checked into the same park as Eileen and Tom.

Dinner was back at the Essenhaus for their dinner buffet.  The food is that good.  We all walked around the campground in the pleasant weather until 8:00 when I went in to watch the Bachelorette finale.  Dumb ending!

I am ending here because I have some photos and don’t want this to get too big.
