Speaking of being an ex-athlete, Scout and I were walking by a little boy yesterday. I heard him tell his Dad "The white dog is definitely faster than the tiger dog." That kids definitely knows what he is talking about.
Scout is fine. Mom checked her over yesterday just to be sure. She went out a lot more yesterday, but when it came time for our last walk, she didn't want to go. This morning, we took separate walks and she walked for a long time. She is eating fine. She is just lazy. Daddy says she just likes doing what she wants and that is laying around.
Yesterday afternoon Mom (if you just noticed I sometimes call Mama, Mom), Scout and I were sitting in the RV. All of a sudden we heard BANG and the RV shook, then BANG and and the RV shook again. Mama thought someone ran into us. She went outside to look and our awning had broken free of the RV. The rod that holds it to the RV was dangling down. A gust of wind must have taken it. Now, we are very well aware that an awning should be taken down when it is windy, but it wasn't. Mama thought it was completely broke. She had lessons in how to put it away, but did not have lessons on what to do if it came loose from the RV. A lady stopped by and asked if she needed help. Mama didn't think she could help, but it turns out she knew what she was doing. Anyway, with her help, they were able to re-attach the awing to the RV. Mama was so grateful that the lady stopped to help her. A little later on, we were walking and ran into the lady and her husband. The husband said that his wife does all the stuff around the RV. Mama is always impressed when she meets a woman like that. Mama would like to be like that one day.
We were asked if our Mexican casserole needs to go in the oven. Yes, it's supposed to be in a 13x9 pan and heated for 30 minutes at 300 or until bubbly. We only have an 8x8 pan and it did fine in that.
The folks are going to do some tourist things today. Scout and I will be left behind. Boo!

I am glad Scout is doing OK..I don't blame her for being lazy. You've had a very active vacation!
ReplyDeleteWe are exhausted just thinking about doing all of that! Those people must be very fit.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that lady was there to help you get your awning back up, she sounds amazing.
Hope your mum and dad have fun today, you two can be in charge of the RV - don't take it for any test drives, LOL.

Sounds like Scout wants a lazy vacation and you want a busy one, LOL. Hopefully you will both get a little of each. I don't have a clue how to put the awning up or out on our trailer. I'm always paranoid that a big wind will come if I'm there alone. I guess I should learn. One night we had a big thunder storm and it poured; we didn't have the awning tipped enough and it stretched down so much with the weight of the rain, we could barely get out the door. Luckily the insurance covered replacing it.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Scout, you have a fan club of people who would just like to lay around on their vacations too :)
ReplyDeleteJoey, you're my brother -- of course you are faster than Scout! :P

Scout has the right idea... no point in over exhausting yourself in the heat when you can have a nice snooze in a comfy bed!

I think that by the time your adventure is over, your mom will be a Mrs. Fix-it.
ReplyDeleteScout...You're a gal who knows what's important.
