Short road trip!

June 1 – Neither of us slept well last night.  Bill was kicking and I just could not go to sleep and then woke up at 4 and at 7 I got up and went to the little couch until 8.  We eventually went for a walk but not along one.  We met a man who has got to Alaska twice in an RV and wants to go again.  He’s 75 now and says he better go before he can’t.  I would love to find another couple to go with next summer!  Any takers out there?  Bill would insist it be someone “handy” as he is not.

I weeded a lot of the flower garden by the gatehouse and Bill picked up 4 bags of weeds etc.  I still have more to do so maybe will finish it tomorrow.  I left a message for our ranger so we can work out a definite schedule so we can make plans for our weeks here.  We might take Molly on a road trip to Branson.  I’m sure she would love to see a show!

After lunch and showers we drove over to Conway.  It’s about 40 miles.  That’s the way we will leave for I-40 in July and Bill wanted to check the route for the RV.  It’s a college town of pretty good size.  We picked up some tomatoes and cukes at a roadside stand and stopped for an ice cream at McDonald’s and checked another automotive shop and a big shoe Mall.  I got another pair of Tom’s.  I hate spending the money but Bill said I can’t take it with me.  His real fear is listening to me whine later that I wish I had bought the shoes.  They are burlap!  Very different.

My snazzy printer stand!

We stopped at Wally World for more veggies as we do eat a lot of them, then it was head for home.  I had baked sweet potatoes before we left so it was fast to grill pork chops on George and sauté some pencil asparagus and dinner was ready.  I was starved and could have eaten more asparagus but I only cooked half. 

Kam called and we talked about some activities for her visit later this month.  I’m sure we will cram a lot into 3 days!  She never mentioned fishing!
