Happy Birthday Carole!

September 21 -  Happy Birthday Carole! 

We are parked much too close to the interstate as I did not enjoy all the trucker noise all

Birthday lunch:  Bryan, Carole, Herb, Bill, Kelly, Janet

night!  Since we are meeting the family at 10:30 to drive in to downtown Cottonwood for lunch and we have to be there by 11:15 we just had fruit for breakfast.  We arrived timely at Bryan’s and we rode with them and Carole drove her car to Cottonwood Tavern Grille.  It was formerly the movie theatre and the restaurant took it over in 2005.  It’s very nicely decorated and has some nice outdoor seating but we dined inside.  We had a very leisurely lunch following by a fancy birthday dessert in honor of Carole’s 84^th birthday, the first in too many years to count, with her brothers!  The food was excellent as was the service.   I had an ahi tuna salad and didn’t leave a crumb!

When we got back to Bryan’s Bill stayed there while I went back to the RV to re-order my slide topper parts, work on my missing prescription, print the 39 page land contract we received, and do a load of laundry.   I went back to pick him up at 3:15 but we didn’t leave until 4:30.  He tightened the hook on the mud flap while I hung the laundry and put things away for our departure tomorrow.

The plan for dinner was to meet at Babe’s and on the way we drove to the casino to check out a spot to stop in the morning to hook up the car. Babe’s is a bbq place and it’s OK.  My brisket was tough and the sides selection had no vegetables.  I eat a lot of veggies!  After dinner Bryan and Janet came over to see the RV.  They stayed quite a while to visit.

Once company left I got on the computer and posted 2 days and started writing more.  Once we get on the road it’s really difficult for me to keep up!
