Can't
believe I'm 4 days behind – whine, whine, whine!!! Maybe I should
say – wine, wine, wine!
Mon
– Major project today – altering the bed shams! I didn't want to
mess it up so took my time which was driving Terry crazy so he went
to town to get a few groceries. Then he decided – correctly –
that we needed one more decorative pillow so we used excess fabric
from the shams and one pillow from our previous set to make a new
pillow. Turned out great if I do say so myself! Terry's shopping
included steaks so he got to grill on the deck again since the
weather cleared up from morning clouds & a few sprinkles.
Tues
– We dug out warm jackets and headed to Jerry's Jets for a jetboat
ride up the Rogue River. We left right on time at 9:00 and got a
seat in the front row which turned out to be great as we could see
where we were going and watch the rocks slide by about 2 inches from
the hull. The weather turned out perfect and we had to shed layers
as the day went on. We stopped for a break and then put on life
jackets for the rest of the trip which was the “wilder” part. We
had the same driver as the last time we did this trip and he is
wonderful – informative, funny and loves to do flat spins hoping to
get people wet. The front row was not getting as wet so he stuck the
front of the boat under a small waterfall which resulted in just a
few sprinkles on us. We stopped for lunch and headed back to
complete the 104 mile round trip. We saw lots of birds – eagles,
herons, cormorants, Canada geese (one pair with 4 babies), and osprey
(one dive bombing an eagle sitting on a tree) but just one deer &
fawn and no bears. We would recommend this trip to everyone.
Stopped for a few groceries on the way back.
Wed
– Getting the laundry done was our big plan today. There is a
laundry room with 4 washers & dryers here in the park which was
just what we needed. Then we had to go to town to get a new water
hose as we discovered that a small leak from the metal connector was
creating a puddle in the storage bay – which of course we had to
mop up first. Once again a stop for groceries (hate to plan ahead
&/or waste food!) and then a lazy rest of the day.
Thurs
- We decided it was time to print some new “business” cards since
we got a good picture of the toy hauler and bought Print Master some
time ago. It went pretty well until we started printing and then the
card stock jammed and I think we messed up the print heads. The
printer was connected through the internet and in the process of
getting the paper out and printing alignment patterns, the printer
disappeared from the list of devices on the computer. We could not
find the cable to connect it to the PC and I could not get it to
connect wirelessly again. I do often HATE computers! I had put a
roast & veggies in the crockpot so at least dinner was easy. Our
neighbors (Bud & Becky) came over to see our rig and have a drink
and then Becky talked her mom into joining us even though she was
already in her bathrobe. It was great visiting with people again. I
do miss all our friends.
