Out and about...

June 2 – I actually slept a little later this morning and finally started making noise at 9 so Bill would get up.  I called the local post office to see if we could work it out to pick up our Priority mail envelope Monday morning that has Bill’s passport in it.  This is a pretty small town and the lady checked the tracking and it should be in the 6:30 mail drop, so she’s calling me after 8 to let me know she has it.  If we wait for delivery to the campground it could be 4PM and we’re scheduled to drive to London, Ontario Monday morning.

Then I texted my friend and co-worker, Larisa, who lives in Apopka to see if she would go to the cabinet place there before they close at 3 and get an end panel to use beside the dishwasher in the rental house.  She wasn’t home but was going back before 3 and assured me she would get it.  Relief!  She will take it to work Monday and I’ll ask Dan to pick it up on his way to the house for the guys to finish up Monday evening!  I asked Kam to go to Lowes or Home Depot for handles and knobs for the cabinets.  Can’t believe I forgot those, but just too much going on!  Planning to have it cleaned on Wednesday or Thursday!  No idea on the outside as it’s rained every day! 

Lunch

So I put in my work hours before Bill got up for bacon and fruit this morning!  We both showered and headed out for the day.  First stop was McQueens Produce, well to be honest we really went for the donuts!  They had NO produce due to a late winter but they had donuts so we each picked 3.  Then we stopped at Sam’s, Walmart, Meijers in Maumee, Meijers in Rossford and Bed Bath and Beyond.  We saw a Packos restaurant and thought it might be a chain from Tony Packo’s in Toledo.  It was and we had lunch

Eric Trump bun

there.  It’s Hungarian food and I had the Chicken Paprikas and it was delicious.  It’s what my family calls rivels, a chunky noodle which is homemade, topped with a paprika gravy and chicken.  So tasty!  Packos is known for it’s hotdogs with their special chili sauce so Bill had a dog with a side of slaw.  I gave him about 1/3 of my dish and we were both full.  Saves us the drive into Toledo to go to the original.  They had a small collection of signed hot dog buns (it’s one of the things they are known for).  We saw buns signed by Helen Reddy, Eric Trump, Alice Cooper and other celebrities.

Bill wanted to visit one of the guys from yesterday who recently moved into a single story house that would accommodate him and his Great Dane, Emmett.  That is one BIG dog!  He likes ladies so he was gentle and nice to me.  Mike had a lot of the house redone and it turned out great.  I think the big challenge now is getting the yard in the shape he wants it. 

NIce puppy....

Emmett is his service dog.  Mike is 6’3” and has a neurological issue that causes him to fall.  Emmett helps him back on his feet, plus he’s a great companion.  We enjoyed our visit and the guys spent more time talking about what happened to this person and that person.

We didn’t leave there til 5 but had said we were stopping for ice cream at the Penguin Palace, which was there when Bill was in school back in the 60’s.  We each had a small Tornado (soft serve with a mix in) and it was huge.  Once we left we agreed we were not ready for dinner for a while.

Around 7 I cooked a chicken breast and corn on the cob and called it a meal.  We only ate half of the breast.  An hour later I had one of my donuts and Bill had the end of the rhubarb crisp and his last fried pie.

It’s pretty quiet in the campground. I think no one wants to do battle with the mosquitoes.  We’re listening to the radio and once I get off the computer I will read a while.
