Long tiring day

September 3 – It was a long day…

We left the campground at 8:15 to take the RV in for the new AC and to have the generator put back in.  We arrived about 9 and I went over our list of small items that we were hoping they would get to in addition to these 2 major items.

We had Molly with us and we headed into Manchester.  It was a bit early for most stores when we arrived but Christmas Tree Shops was open so I started there with my shopping.  I perused every aisle and picked up some bargains and a few stocking stuffers for Christmas.

I trekked through Joann’s, Dollar Tree, Bed Bath and Beyond and we had lunch at Panera Bread.  We took our outdoor chairs and found 2 trees where we could sit out to eat our lunch while Molly was in the truck beside us.  We took our time just relaxing and enjoying the nice weather.

Next door was a Walgreens, so we had our flu shots for the season.  We stopped at World Market since they don’t open until noon and we meandered towards Bolton where the RV was.  We stopped at a used book store in Vernon and left with just 3 books and turned in 4 paperbacks.   

Now we were ready for dessert so Bill googled and found a family run dairy farm in Bolton,

Time for ice cream

Fish Family Farm,  where we got coffee ice cream with oreos, yum!  There were quite a few folks there with kids and they have a nice outdoor area where the kids and run, see the chicken coop and use a picnic table.  They have a vintage

On display

tractor and a vintage car that we can’t identify!  It was a nice stop!

When we arrived at Bolton Notch RV, the gate was closed and we waited a bit and when it didn’t open we called and got an answering service who said they would urgent page Eric.  Still no gate opening but a car pulled up behind us and got out and said we couldn’t get in so he used his access card to open the gate.  They were there to get their unit out of storage and left again and we could see our RV in the garage.  We waited a little longer and I went to the office and Eric was on the phone with the warranty company.  Once he got off he said they were going to give him a call back and he would let me know once he heard what they were paying.  The new AC was in and so quiet it was awesome!  The generator was in perfect running condition and back in it’s home but they didn’t have time to do any of the small stuff other than put the replacement end cap on the awning and said it worked fine!

So we didn’t pay yet but he knows we will when ever he lets us know.  Traffic was worse going home than it was going in this morning.  Bill managed to stay with me all but one time at a light.  We got home at 6 and we were tired puppies!  BUT, we had great air conditioning!!

We had 2 of the pickle steaks with instant mashed potatoes and broccoli salad for dinner.  So glad I had it available instead of having to cook.
