We had an experience yesterday!! We took the camper out to fill it up with gas. Figure it would be $5 in a couple of weeks the way the price is going up. Found a station just up the road that was $4 a gallon, cheapest I could find. I am sure glad I didn’t have the car on behind. What a mess. Probably my fault, I changed my mind about stations, shouldn’t have done that but there was a Shell station right next to us, all I had to do was turn the corner.The station was small and crowded, I couldn’t get in off the street and when I finally did get in I couldn’t get to a pump so I left. Streets here are crazy, I couldn’t get back on the road going West, drove through a lot of neighborhoods before finally getting back on the road going West! Over the Interstate was the gas station, turn lane to go left, nice, station had an empty pump, pulled in and gave the clerk $100!. Know how much it took?? All of it plus it would probably have held more but this should get us to Yuma where the gas should be about fifty cents a gallon less than here. Getting out of the station wasn’t easy, getting back on the highway wasn’t easy, finding the campground wasn’t easy and getting barked again, well, that wasn’t to bad. Funny what a relief it is to know I have a full(?) tank of gas and won’t have to stop when we leave.
I called Nancy at Santee Lakes where I had applied for a volunteer job. She called back yesterday afternoon and we are going to go see her Friday afternoon about working there next year. We will see what she says tomorrow.
Got a picture of the moon when it started the eclipse…
Probably would have been nice to see it at the full eclipse but I can’t stay awake that long, would have been another two hours or so.
We are going to get pictures taken Saturday afternoon. Going to be kind of a big deal. There will probably be around 40 of us or more. Hope it all turns out OK.
I bought new wiper blades for the camper and finally got them on today. That was a pretty good job, but after I figured out how to do it, it didn’t take long at all.
Went out this morning and washed the throw rugs in the camper. They were getting pretty gross. They look pretty good now and was a lot cheaper than buying new ones.
Our door handle was kind of hard to operate so I bought some oil and took it apart and oiled it down pretty good and seems to be working a little better now.
The place in the corner that says Super was the laundromat. I was surprised that it cost under $4 to wash and the dry was free which really excited me. I would go back there again.
I know that it is kind of crazy to put a picture of a shower in here but the rest rooms here are really nice. It is one of those rain showers. I like it but I would never put one in for myself. I like the spray from a regular shower. When we redo ours in Texas, I will put in a regular shower.
Linda has been keeping track of things on Face Book. Sounds like most of our friends from Texas are home now. We are looking forward to our trip back to Illinois. Have lots of stops to make and lots of people to visit. Should be a fun trip.
Well, time to say Bye Y’all…
