Accomplishments!

Today, Theresa reorganized all the tools, and made a bin of extras to give away. Yes, we still had 5 hammers, 5 tape measures, 2 hacksaws, 2 crescent wrenches, 2 sets of jumper cables, piles of screwdrivers... Somehow all that got brought with us, even after we weeded out tools before leaving. (I like hammers!)

She also worked on polying the sign she made for out front. Pictures will follow when it's done!

After working, I installed the third towel bar in the bathroom, this time in the tub for washcloths and stuff. May need some hooks in there, too, for dripping bathing suits - later, later.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to lower the dinette table 2 inches for easier typing. But for now, just kicking back and relaxing for the evening. :)

Scott: Last weekend we had a wonderful visit with Ron and Lisa in NJ. Plus Christopher, Deanna, and Michael. (And Heidi, of course.) We went to Michael's Cub Scout picnic for dinner, then had a nice evening catching up.

Saturday, after M&M pancakes, we left NJ and headed for Quakertown, PA. The directions to the campground were very simple, there were signs pointing the way from the highway, and every single road we needed to take was under construction. Not just a little construction, no! They had closed the roads completely and made miles-long detours so that you could reach the other end, a couple hundred feet away. Theresa did a wonderful U-turn with the camper on a tiny road that I didn't believe would be possible, so she rocks! :)

The seasonal people at this campground go all out. Some have unique lighting, like a palm tree made from red and green bulbs. Another has decked out their entire site with HUGE Halloween decorations, ghosts and goblins on every tree, a 4-foot moving spider in a web, everything you'd need except a fog machine. One has a piano, and another has many pairs of boots with plants growing in them. Someone brought their stretch limo. And they all seem to have TV's outside (under cover), with plenty of lawn chairs for watching sports. I already mentioned the bagpipe concert during dinner. Quite an interesting place!
This campground in Quakertown, PA, has its own bagpiper! We are listening to a lovely concert, sitting by our fire, after eating barbecued pizza. Life is good!

Getting on the road after a restful night at the Hotel Mushbird, Danbury CT.

P.S. Some shifting of contents occurs during travel. Imagine what comes just after opening the closet, which has two freestanding drawer cabinets...
Stop #2 - Parked for the night at the Danbury CT rest stop. Tomorrow: New Jersey! :)
Rest stop #1: Charlton service plaza, Mass Pike. Hunkering down 'til the evening rush subsides. Then, on to Danbury, CT!
