The party is almost over😥


September 8 - Our 2 months in Connecticut went fast.  It seemed we had so much time to come and go to whatever was open and boom, time is up! 

Bill walked his last walk with Pam (until we meet again), and after breakfast he started cleaning the front of the RV and putting our chairs away and the rest of our outdoor lights.  I cleaned the picnic table cover and boy has it faded in the CT sun.  The sides look great!

While he was outside I vacuumed and washed the floors, put as much away as I could and cleaned the kitchen counters.  I bagged up most of my crafting materials and did 3 loads of laundry.  Things I know I won’t need went in storage under the bed.  There shouldn’t be much to do in the morning.

Bill loaded bags of books and other things there isn’t room for under the RV into his truck.  He had made a last minute haircut appointment for 4:30 so I sent him with a VERY short list while he was in town. 

They had a going away pot luck for us tonight.  I was told not to bring a thing.  I considered making one last dessert but didn’t want to step on any toes if someone else made one.  Bill got back just in time for our 6 o’clock gathering.  Well, we walked over and Laurie was just setting the table.  Apparently there was a miscommunication and the gathering was for 7.  We just went home and read until time to start over.

The foods were awesome!  There were 2 kinds of wings and Bill about died from the heat of the Buffalo ones.  I had the Garlic and Parmesan!  There were a couple of pasta dishes and antipasto and one couple brought chicken chili and rice to serve it over.  That was my favorite thing.  I seriously considered asking if I could take some home!  There was still a large amount of ice cream left from the social July 4 so they got out a gallon and 6 – 8 topping choices for everyone.

One of the highlights of the evening was Pam, our neighbor, was a teacher and she always wrote limericks for her students.  So she wrote one and there was something about everyone in the long limerick.  She included the storm and power outage as well.  She made copies for everyone and it was so nice of her!

We got home about 9 and got ready for bed and just read to relax and get ready for bed.  It was a nice ending to our 2 months at Charlie Brown Campground!
