Rainy Morning Oulet Mall

Image
Well Friday started out rainy but turned into a nice afternoon. After breakfast we went to the campground store. This is another really nice campground. We enjoy it here every year. Really nice clubhouse. Three different sitting rooms with Tvs. Lot of books to trade and read. Play areas and a craft area for the kids. Pool is huge. Not open yet but we enjoyed it when Billy Anna and the kid were with us a couple of years ago. Diane and I decide it was a good day to leave the hubbies behind and go shopping. We've been wanting to do this for a while. Had a great time. Spent some money. LOL All on the grandkids of course and nothing for ourselves. Had lunch at subway. All in all it was a good shopping day. Back to the camper to rest for a bit and have dinner. Decided against a fire again tonight so played some Mexican Train. Diane can't get enough of it and they're leaving on Sunday so this might be the last game for awhile. I won one game and Larry won the ot

Battlefield

What a great day today. Relaxed in the morning had a good breakfast then a drive around the Battlefield. I'mnot a history person but it was really nice to learn some things today. Drove thru the battlefield for about two hrs. It's huge and we didn't see it all. First stop was a tower about 7 storeis high.Larry was the only one who attempted it. He had to take a break half way up but he made it to the top Bill doesn't like heights and it was a little too windy and chilly for me and Diane. Stopped a few places to read. There are way to many signs to read them all unless you want to spend a couple of days and take the walking tour. The Scenery was fabulous. Stopped at Little Round Horn and I climbed on the rocks for a bit. I went up to the top and took some pictures. I didn't read the plaque so I have no idea what this was. 😅 The view was great. Climbed to the top while video chatting with Karen and Sadie on the phone so I gave Them a nic

WEll very chily when I got up at 5 today. 27 degrees and frozen water. But at least my coffe is staying warm in my new yeti mug as I sit outside. Feeling much better today. Thank God. After breakfast we decided to go to Walmart. Haven't been to a Walmart in days. Diane is going thru withdrawls. LOL. Well we needed stuff anyway. Well not a supercenter so have to go to The Giant grocery store down the road. Decided to make Stuffed Pepper Skillet for the four of us so bougth stuff for that. Diane and I decided to do laundry when we got back. I hate wasting a nice day on laundry but got do it. Its nice and warm in the sun but still chilly. Only got up to 51 today. Same as home I'm told. So i might as well be there. 😀 Not for a couple of days. Laundry done and time to relax for a bit. Diane and Larry had to go to Walgreens for meds so I decided to take a little nap. Then outside to enjoy the sun for a bit. lots of squirrels playing Nice little stream behind the camper

Pizza Day Rain again

Monday started out to be a nice day. Didn't do much. Last day here so we got a little bit done for travel tomorrow. It got up to about 70 in the afternoon so we decided to sit outside again and play Mexican Train. Then about 3 it started to sprinkle so packed everything up and went inside. Played for a little bit then decided to get ready to go to Lake Gaston Pizza for dinner. The Pizza is much better than their breakfast. Had an appetizer so I couldn't finish my half but Bill did so thats ok I hate taking home leftovers not a lot of room in the fridge. Diane and I both got a cannoli to go. They are soooo good. Bill got his Red Oak Beer that he loves. Can't find it anywhere nearby so have to pay the price at the pizza place. He always gets a couple of 12 packs to go. Back to the camper and decided not to finish our game so just relaxed and got ready to leave in the morning. A little wet to start our travel day but sun came out eventually. Left about 7:30 for a 41/2 hr

Nice relaxing Sunday

What a beautiful day. Started out cold 30 degrees but warmed up nicely by 10 am. We met Larry and Diane at Lake Gaston Pizza for breakfast after they went to church. Breakfast was ok. WE ordered hash browns withour breakfast and were told they were out. I like hash browns for breakfast not home fries. Oh well. Probably won't go back for breakfast again but we will go for pizza tomorrow. They deep fried the potatoes and bacon. didn't really like it but my eggs were good. After breakfast decided to try and find the Lake Gaston Flea market. Well we did but there was only two vendors. Just not lucky with flea markets this trip. It still early in the season I guess. Went to the Food Lion for a few groceries and some Powerball tickets. (Wish Me Luck.) This is the only place to shop for anything. Just a little Plaza with 5 or 6 stores and a bar.  Ace Hardware across the street. Ran in there to get a Yeti coffee mug for myself. I'm up so early and outside with my coffee it does

Sunshine again

Nice sunshine to start our last day here. We decided to check out the flea market in Rockingham. Another no go. Damn. Just looking for something to do on our last day. Of course we went to walmart instead. Bought some more organizing stuff. Gives me something to do at the next campground where there is absolutly nothing around. Not even a walmart thank god. On our wy back we found this nice Berry Patch. What a nice little place. Lots of fresh produce, homemade candies, peanuts and homemade ice cream. Bought some stuff for our steak dinner tomorrow. Of course the Ice Cream lovers that I'm with had to have some homemade ice cream. I'm not an ice cream lover and it to chilly out to sit outside and eat it. But they did. It was very good so I'm told. Back at the campground just relaxed a bit and got ready to leave in the morning. A night of Mexican Train. Decided against a bone fire because its a little breezy. Saturday up early as usual. Taking our time getting
