Saturday, July 13, 2019 - Work Day and Ice Cream Time!

When I woke up this morning, Dean was already out of bed.  He rarely gets up before me.  When I glanced at the clock it was almost 6:45.  No wonder he was already up!  

I laid a load of clothes out last night to wash this morning so I took care of that before pouring my first cup of coffee.  Then I set down to finish the blog post from yesterday.  

We started talking about what we wanted to get done today.  The RV windows need to be washed both inside and out.  I have three plaques I hang on the walls each time we stop.  Currently I take them down when we move, and then re-hang them.  Today we will hang them permanently.  They were all gifts from very special people, with special meanings to both of us.  (Update:  we were only able to hang two of them.  The third one had felt on the back of it, so we need to find a way other than using command strips to hang it.)

I put the leftover pie from last night into freezer containers for another time as well as the individual cobblers I made for snacks.  It's nice to have something we can pull out when we need a little sweet.

Dean spent most of the day outside washing the rig - he worked in the shade until it got too hot once the sun was directly on him.  After lunch, he went out again after the shade moved to the other side.  He'll finish up another small area tomorrow morning.  We shared the window washing - he did the outside and I took care of the inside.  I decided it would be a good time to also clean all of the mirrors in Bentley.  They definitely needed it.  

I need to start looking at our travel plans which of course have now changed again - and until we know for sure that all is well on Monday, it's possible they will change again!  However, I like having at least a loose plan of where we are going.  Our goal is to make it to Yellowstone by August 16 - we have reservations there for a week - so everything leads there.

Dean grilled some burgers for dinner.  I cut up a cucumber and sliced a tomato to go with them.  Simple, but a very good meal.

My sister Cindy called just before we were getting ready to fix dinner to see if we wanted to go with them to get ice cream later.  Sure we will, so I'll call her when we are ready and they'll pick us up.  Dean wanted to shower so as soon as he was done, I let Cindy know they could head our way.  We drove to Galena to Dairy Queen.  I ordered the same thing for Dean and I - his a medium and mine a small, but when I started eating it, it didn't taste anything like the one I had a few weeks ago.  I think she made the wrong thing but it was good, and I didn't want to wait for her to make another one so off we went.

We drove through Lowell, Baxter Springs, and Chetopa, KS on our way home.  Sorry I didn't take any pictures.  We were too busy talking!

Back at home I'm going to start looking at campgrounds for our trip until I get tired.  

I hope your day has been wonderful.  I feel like we accomplished several things today.  It's a good feeling....and it has been a good day!
