It is amazing how fast time flies when you are on vacation. Our vacation time is coming to an end though. The first week, we traveled to Iowa and then we broke down. We then drove to Indiana for the 54th Escapade (RV rally), which we loved. We planned on doing a post talking about all the seminars, but we are not sure anyone is really interested hearing about it.(If you are interested, leave a comment telling us so.) We broke down there last Saturday. We have a temporary fix that we may get fixed in Kansas City.

| These horses are being exercised by being tied to a truck and running behind it. |
 |
| Scout was concerned about how the horses are being walked and hopes that Mama never does that to her. |
 |
| It really bothered her. |
 |
| Scout really liked watching the horses. This was at the fairgrounds where the RV rally was held. |
We were weighed on our way out of the rally. We were within our limits, but not by much. The problem really lies with how our rig was made. The manufacturers put a lot of heavy items on one side. There is really nothing we can do about it because we can't move the ac units, water heater, washer/dryer, etc.

We then drove "home" for doctor visits, vet visits and visiting family. Mama said this part was not really vacation because it was stuff we needed to get done. The campground we are staying at does not have cable or free Wi-Fi. We had satellite for a few days, but now we are blocked by RVs. We upgraded our TV antenna and we are able to get a few channels. The campground is now completely full and it is crazy with kids running around. I guess the quiet hours have been thrown out the window since it is the holiday weekend. We heard people outside our RV at 11:30 p.m. Do you remember Cousin Eddie from the Vacation movies? There is a guy who looks and acts like him here. Yep, it is interesting and somewhat entertaining here.
Today is the folks 28th wedding anniversary. They are old! They ate at Rich and Charlie's the other night to celebrate. It is an Italian place that Mama loves.
Personally, I will be glad when we are back to our normal routine. The folks haven't been around much and I miss my "Mama time" and she misses us, too. I just wish Dad didn't have a J.O.B. (They spell it out at the Escapade event because it is a bad word.) so that he was around more. We don't want him to loose his J.O.B., but if he was retired like us, that would be good.
Joey,
The Greyhound Whose Vacation Is Ending Soon
Our mom would love to hear about the seminars. She dreams of having an RV someday and thinks an event like the one you were at would be great to learn more about it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Millie and Walter...we will write about the rally soon. :-)
DeleteHappy Anniversary! That's a greyt number of years! I'm with Scout--tied to the truck seems a terrible way to exercise horses, for one of many reasons: they are breathing in exhaust fumes as their lungs are being exercised. Go save them Scout!
ReplyDeleteEmily, I read your other comment and deleted as requested. I was wondering about that too. I know someone else that did that, but the process was completely different. It involved scents.
DeleteThose poor horses. Go save 'em guys!
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting to hear all about the Escapade boot camp! hope you will write about it.
ReplyDeleteScout, it's really good that you got to show off your pretty face in this post!
That's a lot of years your mom and dad have been together! Congratulations to them!
