After our morning coffee, we said our goodbyes to Jim &
Jessie & left the Newell campground, driving thru sections of (3) States:
It was a mere (31) miles to the Fabick Caterpillar Dealer in
After a nice breakfast, we crossed the street to check out the Goodwill Thrift store for about an hr. Kathy found a pair of Capri pants & I bought a good looking pair of pants with the Gap label.
Next, we walked a few more blocks where Kathy bought a spool of thread for her needle pointing @ Jo Ann's. During her time in the store, I talked with my 1st cousin Florentz in PA for (18) min. We discussed his brother Richard, who has been @ the care center for over (2) yrs now; he needs a set of new teeth. When he talks, & he talks a lot, his false teeth begin to fall out. So, some of us are willing to build up a kitty for Richard's new teeth.
En Route to our coach, we passed by Macadoodles who advertised some good wine prices; Since we are some distance from our coach, I limited our purchase to (4) large quart size bottles of wine packed in a box. My arms were plenty tired by the time we reached our bus. There was no charge for this safety recall fix.
Today's travel: 63 miles 2+09 time 10.9 fuel used 5.8 mpg 29.3 avg speed.
Oh yes, having those 365 wide tires sure makes a nice difference on bumpy roads.
We parked in our reserved #8 campsite for the weekend. Light
rain began around
Dinner: clam chowder with oyster crackers, cantaloupe & cutie oranges.
Evening movie: "Breakfast @ Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Buddy Ebsen, Mickey Rooney, etc. Charming film from Truman Capote's story, with Hepburn as Holly Golightly, backwoods girl who goes mod in N.Y.C. Dated trappings don't detract from high comedy and winning romance. 1961. I was a little disappointed; I had held Audrey Hepburn in high esteem but she let me down on this movie. Kathy liked it however.
Lights out:
