Sunday morning we left for Celina, OH. We were going to arrive before Dan and Sue arrived back from a shooting weekend so we were in no hurry. Imagine our surprise when we pulled in to see a huge beautiful pool added last year to the campground. We put on our suits and went for a swim. Later we drove to Dan’s and rode together to a restaurant for dinner. Ted and Dan were shooting on Monday.
Sue and I were going to Winner’s butcher shop in Versailles and then back to the park to swim. I bought some chicken wings that comes with “fixins” that we had at the graduation party. You sprinkle, then grill them. Turn them over and sprinkle again! We must have gone through hundreds at the party. I also bought some pot roast, all cooked and in containers. Oh so good! Open faced roast beef sandwiches were on the menu for dinner that night.
Sue and I were in the pool until there was thunder and a flash of lightning and they blew the whistle for everyone to get out of the pool. That was it! No rain, no more thunder or lightning, the sun stayed out! We changed clothes, got some sides together to go with our sandwiches and ate outside when the fellows returned. We said our goodbyes about 9:30 and they left for home.
Tuesday was travel day again. I-75 is under construction from Florida to Michigan so we took state highways instead. Boy could we tell we crossed into Michigan! We thought Arkansas was bad. All the roads have been bad but those first few miles up Michigan 23 was like an honest to goodness washboard.
We have been fortunate that things have stayed put inside despite the bucking and bouncing! I am real careful that I remember to secure the closet door, medicine cabinet, shower doors, put the TV and antenna down, bungee cord the dish cabinet doors and Velcro the refrigerator handles. Now we have to take down the clock too! Even Velcro didn’t hold it up. Sounds like a lot but takes less than 5 minutes.
Bill and Kara were going to come out for dinner but the weather looked iffy. It had sprinkled all day so we met in Rochester for dinner. The kids were with their Dad. They both had long work days so we didn’t linger long.
Wednesday was finally a day for us to relax. We went to check on a campground in Lapeer, MI but it was a horrendous place. Not much more than a gravel parking lot with coaches cheek to jowl in a line. No thank you. We stopped at Kroger for a few things and then came home where I was able to stream The Bachelor on my IPad. This gal was “loose” throughout the whole show and I don’t hold out hope for anything to last no matter who she chooses.
Today Bill and the kids came out for a quick visit. Kelly, Pat and Cassie are coming for dinner but not until 7:00. I made beans, fruit salad, cucumbers, and sliced tomatoes to go with the burgers and brats plus strawberry shortcake for dessert. Kara is off tomorrow and asked us to come in. Yeah! I can strip the bed and take the laundry in to her house.
No photos but more things will be happening! Stay tuned.
