On the Road, Finally!

It is a Wednesday in July, the 15th, to be exact. We have only been out one other trip this season and we have been missing out on good times. But, we are both ok and ready to go!

To Bowling Green, Ohio, and the FMCA Convention. We are now at the Pleasant View Campground, at Van Buren, Ohio. Site # Barn 2. yep, at the end of the row. We have water and electric so we are doing fine.



We had barely gotten parked when a friend in the Maestros, also from home, called. Where are you guys? Go out side of your rig to your car, turn right and walk to the end of the row, I said. Only I walked up to their coach before he got out of it.

After lunch we picked them up and went to the biggest of all antique shops. Lots and lots of stuff! With prices on the high side. The four of us decided we prefer flea markets, garage sales or auctions. Antique shoppes are usually high. We did by 3 spoons. two were lets see, as they were black, almost like they had been burned. But with Maas, silver polish and Ernie's power they came out quite nice. The bowl had some scratches, we had notices that, but wanted to see if they would clean up before we bought another piece we wanted.

Back to the RV. After supper Beth brought down a fresh blueberry pie. Delicious. Talked until after 10. Slept well. Today ?????
a free day.

We had a bird feeder on the front lawn, we had seen some cardinals in a front tree. so we put out a shepherds hook to put the feeder on. Worked fine, and then this past week we noticed that the feeder would be tipped over, still on the hook. And one time it was on the ground. The other clue was that the neighbors dog was checking out the feeder and one day would lay at the end of our driveway, facing the culvert.
A day later Ernie discovered the problem, a squirrel came ambling by, around a tree or two and then on out front of the house. and then the bird feeder was tipped to let out the seeds. Aaa ha!

Since we were leaving I took down the feeder and moved the shepherds hook a day early. Ringer did not go out to the culvert again. Who knows where the squirrel went. We had not seen squirrels for many years. But the neighbor to the north has a walnut tree and an English walnut tree in the lot between our houses. And our trees are now full grown.
We have also had some problems with the computer being slow recently. We wonder if it is because the corn in a field north of us is in direct line of a tower. And the corn has gotten tall.

About time to get busy, at doing something. Talk later.
