Changes
Our new location |
Change #1
We have arrived at our new destination. Any guesses where it is? We were also here last year. The same park, but a different site. There were predictions of ice here yesterday, but we just had a cold rain. The weather here is colder than Houston this week.Change #2
We have a new laptop! Mama got really tired of the battery not holding a charge longer than 20 minutes and then the power cord didn't want to charge it. She literally had to wiggle the cord to get it into a position to charge and then she had to hold it in that place to make it charge. It is hard to type with one hand. We haven't been posting much because of our computer problems.
We are learning how to use this computer because it has Windows 8. Mama is catching on to it, but it will take a while to get all of our favorite links setup. We didn't know if it would be hard to get our pictures to load from our camera, but it worked easily. Mama was a little concerned about that. This laptop has a touch screen and Mama really likes it and I think it is cool.
Last Thursday, the folks visited our "address". We use a mail forwarding service through Escapees which is a RV club. The folks drove there to have a look around and they were able to pick up their mail. The club is really nice because they have a care center for members if they become ill. They are able to receive medical treatment and while still living in their RV and they also have meals delivered. They also have a rec room that Mama checked out. Women were sewing, quilting and doing other crafts. Mama said she was the youngest one there. BOL! The campground was pretty nice and the rates are really low for members.
It sounds like we have a busy day ahead of us with doing laundry and setting up this computer.

Not Much To Say
Me keeping an eye on things. |
Oh, there is something big happening tomorrow night. The fun police will be back in town. Yep, that is right, Dad is coming home and it looks like we will be together for the rest of the year! We are leaving here later this week and heading to our next destination. We were supposed to head to California after Christmas but those plans were canceled. We were quite disappointed. Mama kept us busy though and we did fine.

Pep In My Step
It's me, Scout, to tell you all something. Normally, I walk around like Eeyore. I drag along without too much enthusiasm. Mama is always telling me to pick up the pace. Well, today, I had a pep in my step. I was a happy girl. We were all having a great walk. Do you know what happened? Joey peed on me! That's right, he peed on my nose. My pep is now gone. I don't think it will ever return.

Contentment - Part 2
We have had a busy day. This morning, Mama finally defrosted the freezer. It needed it. Then, she took us to McDonald's for lunch. We had McNuggets and fries! Yum! We sat outside for a while and then we came in to watch The Butler. Scout and I fell asleep and that is how we get to our contentment pictures.
After the movie, Mama and I took a nice long walk without Scout. Scout used her "senior card" and stayed laying on her back on the couch. Yep, it has been a good day.
What Is Happening In Our Kitchen This Week
Mama sometimes mentions what new gizmo she has bought or the new recipes she has tried, so maybe I will try to include that once a week. I don't know. Our blog pretty much flies by the seat of its' pants as they say. We will give it a try and see what happens.
Mama uses an electric skillet daily. She seems to have to replace them about twice a year. The non-stick stops working and they start not to heat evenly. She decided to try a different type of skillet this time since she doesn't think she should have to replace them so often. She is hoping that this one lasts longer.
The is the Presto Foldaway skillet. Why is it different? Well the cooking area is made of ceramic. It is non-stick. It is heavier than the other skillets she has bought and seems to be made well. The main selling point of this skillet is that it comes apart for storage. Mama didn't care about that though. She liked the ceramic cooking surface.
Mama really likes the way the skillet heats and so far nothing is sticking. The skillet has a pour spout that can be used to hold a spoon with the lid still on. Mama isn't really thrilled with having to take the base off to wash the skillet, but it isn't hard to do.
She purchased it at Target.
The next thing that has Mama excited is that she finally found egg rings at a reasonable price...$3.99 for two. She kept seeing them for $15 and she said she was not paying that much. She found them at Bed, Bath and Beyond, if you are interested.

Why does she want a round fried egg? |
This is the reason. She likes to make sausage, egg and cheese muffin sandwiches and she was aggravated with her eggs not being round. Yes, she really has very few problems. BOL! |

Home Again - Part 3
Well, we just realized that we didn't finish telling you about the rest of our trip home. I don't know if we even remember the res...
