'twas a great day!

Yesterday we "puppy sat" with daughter Richelle's dog Rocko and Sunshine and Rocko had a great time together. Rocko is probably a little smaller now because Sunshine kept nibbling at his food dish. Sunshine wolfs her food down and Rocko nibbles - ergo the difference in who eats Rocko's food. It was another very hot day, so after Rocko returned home, we went to Bubbles Ice Cream and Pie Parlor in Michigan City, IN and had some wonderful, handmade ice cream. The place is pet friendly and they even gave Sunshine her own small dish of vanilla ice cream to eat on their shaded porch. Gotta try their home made pies next time - unless it is stifling again and then ice cream will be in order again then. Took another spin to Lake Michigan and really enjoyed the sights. Next trip I hope that we remember to bring the cable to upload the photos from the camera to the computer.

Whew!!! It's Hot!!!

Yesterday, with the high temperatures and humidity, we did NOTHING! We did pick up Richelle's dog and puppy sat but that was a pleasure and not a chore. We all stayed inside and let the air conditioner do its thing. I have a list of modifications to do on the Monty and did not a one. When I got up this morning it was raining. Does that mean that this vicious heat will be abating? Hope so. Hopefully today will see the dropping of temperatures and the completion of some of our mods - nothing drastic but desired because, once done, we will have an even more comfortable Montana.

We're now in Indiana

Yesterday, we moved the Montana from storage to our Home Park in Davison and spent the 92+ degree day hauling "stuff" from our condo to the "Condo on Wheels." We were so hot and tired that a shower and bed came early. Today we moved to La Porte, IN. Soon after we set up we went to Richelle's vacation cabin on Lake Michigan in the Indiana Dunes Park. It may have been hot and humid but at least there was not much breeze! The company, though, more than made up for the lack of coolnativitynessability. Now I discovered that I can not locate the cord that lets me upload the photos from the camera to the computer. Must still be safe and secure in the condo. Oh, well - next time! The dunes and Lake Michigan bring back great memories of a thousand years ago when I was growing up in Muskegon Heights, on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan.

Tomorrow we're outa here!!!

We take the Montana out of storage in the morning and set it up in our home park in Davison, MI. Here we will load it up from home and then Tuesday morning off to The Indiana Dunes in NW Indiana, on Lake Michigan. COMEONMONDAY!!!!!!!

Only 5 more days!!!

The date for our next adventure nears. We will set up in our home park Monday to get the Monty loaded and then leave for the Indiana Dunes Tuesday. There, we will join our daugher Richelle and her family for a few days. Then back to Waldenwoods for two weeks. COMEONMONDAY!!! Target has a sale on ice makers and 3.5 cu ft chest freezers. We already have the ice maker and just picked up the freezer. We have had the ice maker for a year or so now and use it all the time, both in the home and in the rig. Now we will have a nice freezer waiting to be placed into the rig. Should fit in nicely. All being done to make our great journeys even better and more comfortable.

Treatment for "Hitch Itch" coming up soon!

We are now planning on taking the Montana to the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan in early July and camping near where our daughter, Richelle, and her family will be vacationing. From there we will be returning to Waldenwoods RV Resort for a couple of weeks near our childrens' families so that we can see our grandchildren in a camping setting. We have the best of lifestyles now, balancing between traveling/RVing, and home at the condo - The best of all worlds!

Ann Arbor Greyhound Meet and Greet

Sunshine got her Greyhound fix today. After watching our grandson Ryan play baseball in Brighton, we went to a Greyhound Meet and Greet in Ann Arbor. These M&Gs are held at pet supply stores in malls so the public can be educated about Greyhound adoption. They are also a greyt place for our Greyhound to socialize with other greys. She loves these. When we were traveling with her, we took her to M&Gs in Texas and Arizona and she would be in a great mood for days after. At about 63 pounds, Sunshine is quite big to us but when she was around some of these big boys today, we marveled at how small she seemed to be. Mary and Mark fostered Sunshine for three months between her being taken from the track and breeding facility and our adopting her. They had not seen each other since early December when we picked her up and brought her home. Today, they arrived after we did. Sunshine froze in her tracks when she saw and smelled Mary and ran to her with her tail wagging. She went back and forth between Mary and Mark all the time we were there. A greyt day was had by all.
