May 23, 2014 - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania  at the Harrisburg R.V. Campground on Highspire road.    Site 106.  Beautiful weather yesterday when we arrived, but rain all day today Thursday, May 24.  We already met with Brian and Jenn for a very nice visit, but Brian has to work tonight so had to cut our visit short.   Socializing for this weekend. 

Terri and Jerry just pulled in next to us.  Have not seen these Holiday Rambler guys for about two years, and the last time we were on the interstate going south and they were going north to Gillette, Wyoming to a Holiday Rambler rally.  Just passed each other going in opposite directions, and who would have thought we would be side by side here in Pennsylvania.

They came to visit us while we were in Dallas/Fort Worth and we went to the stockyards and Jerry bought an iron stand he wanted for his newly built bar-b-que, kitchen, casita.

We went on a brown bag bus tour.  We have gone on many bus trips before but this one was totally unusual.  When boarding we were each given a brown bag.   Little did we know at the time we were going to be given goodies from each of the stops we toured.    Yes, like a loaf (each) of bread from the bread store, the cheese factory, given a bag of Dutch Country Noodles, Yoder microwave popcorn, and I bought cheese, soap from the camel farm, given samples at the Amish school house, and bought meat at the meat market.  What a wonderful day.  I asked if everyone of our tour guide's trip were this much fun, she just laughed and said "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself".  Did we ever, it will be a day trip we are not likely to forget for a very long time.

Guess what?  Bob was re-introduced at the Escapee's Escapade in Gillette, Wyoming this year to the Ham Radio Group.  Apparently Bob read from front cover to back cover all about electronics and being a ham radio operator when he was a mear teenager.  I DIDN'T KNOW THAT!  We won a massive book on.........you guessed it....becoming a ham radio operator.  He studied and took his test last evening....and passed the "Tech and the General" portion.  And...he PASSED both of them in a little over 45 minutes.  He is smarter than the average bear.                              He is now waiting for his call letters. 

There is a group of about 20 folks here in the Livingston area.  The president is a Chiropractor and it works down from there.  This park has a number of  folks (including women) who also have their license.  Me.....don't believe so....I don't know a compositor from a resister..............Bob said I will learn........................heck I'M still trying to master "facebook".

  We bought a new to us grill.  It is called BIG GREEN EGG.  It grills, slow cooks, bakes, smokes, and roasted.  T-bone steaks, pork chops, and sirloin steaks have become our favorite.

We are back from our summer trip to the Escapade, in Gillette, Wyoming. 
Oh, what a beautiful part of the country. 
Next year the Escapade will be in Goshen, Indiana.......yeah.....family time!

Who is looking at whom?

 

Today Sunday, August 25, still no rain in sight.  With it being this HOT, at least the grass is not growing.  Flowers are withered, mosquitoes are looking for moisture and blood.....  We go out at night, well, so do the mosquitoes.  Ouch!

108 degrees  IT'S HOT DON.......I mean BOB


You wait and wait for the sun to go down to go outside
but it is still 102 degrees and it is 9:49 p.m.  You would think
mosquitoes would not be out...wrong....they are out if full force.     

I hear it is a cool 82 degrees in my hometown of Evansville, In.  but
if it weren't for the cold winters....hum......
