So much for coming to the Northeast to escape the Oklahoma heat! Think it's actually cooler in Oklahoma than we have been having here the past couple of weeks. Finishing up here in Vermont for now and headed to Lake George, NY in the morning. A one night stay there and then a long day's drive back to the west side, to the Niagara Falls/Grand Island KOA.
All of the above is behind us - and we are settled in here, once again, in Niagara Falls. A quiet Saturdy evening - in our trailer, anyways . . . but the campground was hopping. We chose to hibernate, though. We often spend time 'cussing and discussing' ideas, dreams, challenges, philosphies, etc. Yesterday was one of the days. It got off to a bit of a 'rocky' start, when we're in the middle of Lake George traffic (kind of like Branson, MO traffic for those of you familiar with that). As we approached the interstate ramps, Roger said, "Which way?" I said "South" and he headed to the "North" ramp! The conversation went something like this: (me) "WHAT ARE UP DOING?" (him) "YOU SAID NORTH! " (me) "I SAID SOUTH! YOU DIDN'T LISTEN!"
We did get on the interstate - headed south - but the tone for the rest of the day pretty much followed suit. One could say it was a bit like having J.C. (Roger's dad) and Delsa (Twylah's mom) in the truck, instead of Roger & Twylah. (Now that's scary!) Seems we couldn't agree on anything!
Guess we need those times to 'let off steam'. Coming off a couple of very challenging visits and I think we put so much of ourselves into this job, that sometimes we just have to 'blow'. But when you are traveling down an interstate at 65 mph, you sure don't have any doors to slam or places to escape too! :>)
All was well by supper time. I mixed up a batch of Okie Taters and Roger says I got a 'really good scald' on them. He 'pigged out' and, bellies full, we had a quiet evening.
Randy called about 9:00 (Eastern) just as I was getting good and settled in my bed (the recliner). He and Shelly had been working on our house and wanted to discuss light fixtures, paint, etc. Got me to thinking, so I was back up and on the computer, checking out the nearest Lowe's & Home Depot. It couldn't have come at a better time, for we'll have a bit of 'free' time today (Sunday).
With the park full, we can't really even begin to do the review here till this evening when the weekenders leave out. So this morning it is laundry and then a visit to Niagara North, that had the fire July 27th. We'll have some Lowe's & Home Depot time after that.
I appreciate all the notes I've gotten with concern for my shoulder. It's better, but have a long way to go. Seem to do all right most of the day, but by about 4:00 in the afternoon I have to 'give in' and take some Tylenol.
Honestly, our life just isn't as 'interesting' since the departure of our granddaughter. But we hear she hit the ground running and hasn't looked back!
From here on in it's pretty much non-stop reviews, rolling every day. Come along for the ride!
P.S. The pictures have nothing to do with anything - that's just Nick & Wes doing the 'glad to be home dance!'
