Spent some time today daydreaming about what to write about in tonite's blog. I then decided to write about just loafing around. Yeah, we do that once in awhile! Started out this morning coaxing the fire back to life and listening to the birds and squirrels letting us know this is their turf. The camp's ponds are filled with geese and they're fun to watch & listen to as they establish a pecking order. ( or is the chickens ?? )
We managed to get a few things done over the last few days besides celebrating Thanksgiving. Replaced the foam insert in the couch seat which was a project in time. Spent the last few weeks chasing around this rural area locating and buying the foam and tools ( hog rings and hog ring pliers) & support platform wood. The old foam was plumb wore out. Now we have a nice plop for our bottoms. It's really comfortable for napping too, as we bought "loaded" (waterproof) foam 4" thick. Hog rings are used to attach the upholstery to the frame after it's stretched. We also managed to powerwash our picnic table and the rig. Had to scrub the rig with our "superbrush" as it has been down a few dirty roads. Nice and shiny now.
Paid up for 4 more days as we plan on "moving on down the road" next Tuesday morning. We'll probably be in the Florida panhandle by Tuesday afternoon. Haven't planned a route or destination yet but it'll be around 200 miles. If we depart at our standard 10AM time we should be recamped by 2 or 3 PM.
I bet the camp staff will be glad to say goodbye to us. Kept 'em busy with firewood deliveries :)
Talked to our friend Carl in Matlacha, FL and found out the new drawbridge is officially open. Told him we're aiming at about December 15th for arrival.Sure looking forward to oceanside.
Did any of you join in the Black Friday madness ?
Hope your changeover from Thanksgiving to Christmas plans go smoothly. Just REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY..Charlie & Heather.
