When Kathy paid Gina for the extra day of camping this morning, she
realized the forecast for the area was...rain. This gets our attention.
Last year during our stay in this same site, it rained all night. The next
morning we got stuck trying to leave. The ground was soft & what little
gravel there was on the parking site, it wasn't solid enough. We had to
detach the tow car, back up the motorhome & get a running start leaving a
trail of (4) tires digging & spinning in the sod. ...then hook up the tow
car again, all in a heavy downpour.
So we ask Gina if we can move (20) feet into another site now available
that is more level & would be much simpler to depart from. She has no
problem with that idea. So we bring in the slides, disconnect our lines &
move.
We visit Zack around 2:00 pm after he was finished with classes for the
day. Since we haven't had lunch ourselves yet & Zack is hungry, I can't
help but suggest Scotty's Brewhouse again. Like the 1st time, we each have
a burger with a side order....this time however, water is best. After the
meal, we give Zack his belated Birthday gift. He was very appreciative.
While Kathy spends some time in Zack's studio, he & I go outside &
continue our discussion of extra expenses for this semester. I love Zack.
He's such a good guy & he has done so well @ Purdue. Our talk lasts for
about 20 min.
Zack invites KT & some of his other good friends over tonight to meet us &
us to meet them. KT arrives 1st...then Laura & Jeff...then Melanie & Tood.
Nice group of friends. Melanie & Tood will be giving Zack a headboard,
mattress, boxspring, linens, dresser & pots & pans later this week. They
have new bedroom furniture & kitchen ware as wedding gifts so Zack is the
lucky recipient of their generosity. Zack was an usher in their wedding in
Connecticut on August 14th. Since we have already eaten & Melanie & Tood
are hungry, Kathy & I say our goodbyes to Zack & KT & nice to meet yous to
M & T. En route back to our campground in the rain, we do more grocery
shopping @ Payless/Kroger.
It was very nice spending time with Zack. As time marches on, seeing our
kids will be a priority built into our future gypsy lifestyle.
Lights out: 10:28 pm
