Yesterday……WOW….did I ever sweat over laboring for HOURS to get TheHowserHouse washed and loaded!!! And….it took most of the day. We had stopped on Sunday afternoon at the Moser Estate to pick up Meg’s bike, and all of the toys and traveling baby bed(folded into a neat carrying case) that Ava must have for the trip to Navarre, FL. Well…….after washing the rv, I then began to load all of this STUFF, along with lawn chairs, saltwater fishing poles, beach equipment(LARGE umbrella, boogie board, etc., etc.), BBQ grill and charcoal, cases of water, plus all of the other items which I store in the basement of TheHowserHouse for our necessities. UGH…….!!!! And then, it was time to get our inside needs such as clothing, sheets, etc., etc. and a few food items. Sure wonder how many pounds I added to this white long-necked dinosaur that I pull down the road???
Sooo, after doing all of this I had to run to Farmington to get some new printer cartridges for our “take-along” printer. DAMN……GOT to change printers as these cartridges are tooooooooo expensive!!! While up there we decided to eat at Applebee’s(never can remember how this is spelled???!!!!). By the time we returned home, we went into a search mode to try to find the 1st Lady’s travel case of CD’s…..her music ones. HA…..after at least two hours, we gave up..….no matter which box we looked in, which closet we ran through, or which pile of “stuff” we looked under. Oh well……so be it.
This morning I was up early…..couldn’t sleep at sinus crap had invaded my sinus cavities during the night and I was miserable at not being able to breath……and then the sneezes began. Sooooo, I stood in the shower with the hot water splashing in my face for about 20 minutes……and it finally drained….errr, my sinuses!!
Enjoyed the hour or so that I saw of the Today Show……Katie’s last morning on the show after 15 years. Very emotional…..and very good!!
Then after a quick trip to the bank, I hooked up and pulled out of F’town at 9:30AM. I never drive over 60 while pulling this 6.5 hulk, but arrived here at Sam’s Towne RV Park and Casino at 2:30pm…..without stopping for a break. Within ten minutes……..I was unhooked from the truck and hooked with umbilical cords so that I had water, sewage, electricity, and cable tv!! And…….my own bed, my own closet, my own fridge stocked with goodies, and almost 400 sq. feet of my own living space!!!! Plus my own tv, dvd player, fm radio, and surround sound stereo…..and if it gets chilly tonight (HAHA), I have the fireplace!
SOOOOOOO DAMN MUCH BETTER THAN A HOTEL!!!!!!!!! I have spent sooooo many nights over the years in hotels and have really come to hate them……..traveling in an rv is THE BEST!!!!
After getting the a/c on, I went over across the parking area of the Hotel and went to the casino. Dumped in $5 into a slot machine…..and YEP……I had $26.00!!! Soooo, not being a big time gambler, I cashed out…….yep…..wasn’t going to lose that huge pot of money. Besides it was almost time for the evening Grand Buffet to open….4pm. Well, went inside at 3:50 and was only charged $9.99, the lunch price……and ten minutes later they added the seafood to the buffet for the dinner hours. Soooooo, beat the price by $6 and had a wonderful, and WAY to filling dinner. Loved the chocolate fountain with the fresh fruit to put under the pouring chocolate fountain……..YUMYUM!!!!
Not wanting to lose my $$ ( I’m retired, you know!!), I drove into Tunica to check it out. WELL…..it was about 20 miles down the road from Casino Row…..and a BIG waste of time. Well, guess not, as I needed to charge my cell phone and since my LG charger is deceased, the only way I can charge it up right now is by using the car attachment.
Back to TheHowserHouse…..and a bit of visiting with the others who are “camped” here in their BIG rv’s. Many “full timers” here, and at only $12 to hook up to all the amenities here, it is a good deal!!!
The a/c has cooled TheHowserHouse, the Larry King Show is on the tellie, and I am kicked back relaxing here at “home”. Tomorrow…….I am off to Hattiesburg, MS….about the same distance as today. Then on Friday it is less than 200 miles on down to Navarre Beach, FL where we will be for 9 days.
Soooo, as always…..
Life is Great……and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
