Labor Day in Wilmington Ohio

Still at Thousand Trails in Wilmington for one more night. Tomorrow we head over to Decatur IN for the repair to the MH's frame/body problem. This has really been a stressful situation, but I think I've finally got my head on straight about it. We tried to get Fleetwood to stand behind it, which they refused. Then we talked to our Good Sam CSR folks. They don't cover anything frame or body. So it looks like we will be footing the bill. Not what I wanted to hear.

Saturday took us to Cincinnati for dinner with Dave & Jessica. Dave is a pretty good cook. I say that on a regular basis, but last night was outstanding. T-bone steaks and baked Yukon Gold potatoes. Perfect seasoning on the steaks. I added a Key Lime pie for desert. Yum Yum

We played Rummikub after dinner. It has been a very long time since I played, and we had a real good time. They kept us overnight so we got to have breakfast with them this morning.

Louie the dog is growing fast. He has no (and I mean NO) tail so he wags his whole back end when he's happy. He already weighs 36 pounds and Cowardly Casper is only about 11 pounds. He wants to play and she just doesn't get it

Our copy of the August issue of Trail Blazer, the Thousand Trails magazine, caught up with us. You may remember the bird eggs in a nest on the hose roll on the back of the MH from spring. I sent a picture in and it was published in the August issue.

Stopped by Petsmart around the corner from Dave's for Casper's food and treats. Blue Buffalo pet foods had a demonstrator so we got to talk with her about how much Casper loves Blue and much better she is doing on their food. Always nice to be able to pass along some compliments. They actually use chickens and lambs instead of feathers and hoofs.

I am praying for the folks in Hurricane Gustav's path. We experienced Dennis while we were in Pensacola. It wasn't any fun and Dennis was a much milder one. Obviously I don't compare what we had to Katrina or Gustav, but it certainly makes me much more aware of what they are going through. At least people are leaving New Orleans ahead of the storm this time.

We watched McCain's announce his choice for VP. No politics here, but this election is definitely going to be an historical event. Either way it goes, we'll have either a woman VP or an African American President for the first time in history. And to think we can all be a part of it. Vote for either party or candidate, but vote. Just think you can tell your kids and grandkids that you voted for the first (which ever) to win.

We won't be able to stay in the MH once work begins. It will depend on what kind of internet connection we end up in a motel if I can post again soon. In the mean time, I hope everyone has a great Labor Day.
