3 Night in one place, wow!

June 27 - It rained hard most of the night. A bit drizzly this morning but we timed leaving well and Bill didn’t get  wet unhooking the utilities and neither of us got wet when we hooked up.  It rained sporadically for our 90 minute drive to Howe, IN. where we checked in at the Twin Mills Campground.  We hit the time line and lost an hour in our first hour!

Lots of these around town and on the way home

The campground is OK, nothing special.  It’s nicely wooded but restricts use of the satellite.  We managed a pull through full hook up for the 3 nights.  After a bit of a rest from driving in the rain again, we had lunch and headed to Shipshewana where yesterday and today until 5 is the huge weekly flea and wholesale market.  There are 800 booths and a livestock auction.  We passed on that. 

Great selection of yard lanterns

We were about 12 miles from it and since it wasn’t the best weather day and afternoon we had no trouble getting a good parking space.  The sun came out and it was perfect weather for non-stop walking!  Bill got a yard rock with Chief Wahoo on it.  He will put him out when we’re camping.  We both found a few books in addition to cheese, jerky, and some extra “parts” for the RV.  Across the lot was a permanent bulk food and meat and cheese shop where we picked up sausage, lunch meats and more cheese curds.  Across the road is a big “department” store and the fabric selection was great but didn’t carry the print I was looking for.  Bill looked around a bit then went to the car and started on one of his books.  The only thing I bought was a Sun Drop bottled drink for Bill.

We stopped at another fabric shop but no luck there so we headed home where Bill had his Sun Drop while I enjoyed an iced coffee.  We read until time to get dinner ready.  I thawed some ham I had in the freezer thinking it was leftover chicken.  Oh well!  So we had corn on the cob, the last of the kale salad and Bill finished off his jello cottage cheese.  We each had an Amish homemade fried pie for dessert.  Mine was peach and his was strawberry rhubarb.  So delicious!

Bill did some outdoor stuff, then the dishes while I showered.  No internet unless we pay for it and I may wait and do that tomorrow night.  I finished a book and will start a new one.  We have to leave here by 8:30 in the morning for our tour at the Forest River factory at 9:30.
