It was a smooth start to the journey to Louisiana today. All good even getting through the Dallas 635 traffic. I like smooth takeoffs and this one for reasons unknown was one of the smoothest. It may have been that we did not stock the refrigerator but will buy things when we get there and it may have been that we did not leave at 8am but 11:30am and it may have been that we left a day later than planned and it may have been we decided to just go as far as we can and not worry about finding an RV hook up but just grab a motel for the night. Now for some RVers staying in a motel is almost against the “rules” to the whole RV image and while overnight in the Walmart parking lot is no cost it also does not give us the best nights rest. The cost of motel is a bit more than an overnight hook up at an RV location so we are OK with doing that. With all the packing done, motel reservation done we are off smoothly.
The drive is pleasant and we are listening to the music munching on pretzels when David says “there is something I forgot to do”, hmm OK what? “I forgot to take my house shoes out of the oven and turn it off”…what? Yep he got his shoes wet this morning so decided to “cook them” so he could take them with him.( so much for the plan). Good news, our neighbor was home and we have the app to open our garage door so she could go in and retrieve the shoes and turn off the oven. she did say this was the first shoe rescue she had done.
Meanwhile, back to the peaceful driving with no thought the house could catch on fire. all good.
Living in a Rectangle
A lovely evening in Longview, Tx at the Fernbrook RV Park. Lovely park, quiet, nice pull thru.
What a great weekend at the Canjun Rally. in Rayne, LA Lots of music and good food and beautiful site seeing. Also we brought the best gin ever, Roxor a wonderful gin made in Dallas, Tx. Friends at the rally also agreed the gin was super good. This is my new go to gin for sure . Then I learned some things about gin I was not aware of?? When going down the highway and you do not put the bottle in the cabinet it will go flying off the counter, you then hear like an explosion and a cork closer shooting across the floor and gin following. The Rectangle then wafted nice with expensive gin floral/botanical smells. Nice as it was it was not meant to be on the floor. Rescued the bottle saved most and continued down the road (we will clean it up later). Finally at our overnight RV park and guess what? gin evaporates nicely so not a bad cleanup and we got to enjoy the fragrance while driving But now time to enjoy a gin and tonic. David made them nicely and then with a wave of a hand hurled one of them to the floor…ice, tonic, gin and lime were the next floor cleaners. Paper towels, on hand and knees makes short work of the second cleanup. AT LAST new drink made with an added plus of the really clean floor. Cheers
