THINKING OF YOU, KAREN!

Day 42 – We slept well last night; the RV bed is comfortable & due to the fact that we’ve been spending more time in the RV than at home, the RV now feels like home and home feels like our vacation place. The girls have adapted the same way, which is a surprise. They immediately made themselves comfortable in the RV.  Quiet at the campground last night, it was 40 degrees this morning at around 7:30 a.m. We departed at 9:45 a.m. this morning, 44 degrees & cloudy. Our destination today was Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina. To get there from New Jersey we passed through parts of NJ, PA, DE, MD, Washington DC, VA, and NC.

Day 26 – Rain, rain, rain. Warmish this morning at 50 degrees. We hung out for awhile then went to Michael’s Seafood to try the recommended Seafood Chowder. Nice place, cute décor, decent menu, we decided on a bowl of the chowder for each of us and split the appetizer of Blue Crab Dip with Pita Chips. Both were good, not great, but good enough. We thought both items were a bit too salty and very rich which some would consider to be a good thing. I think restaurants often make food salty to encourage people to buy more drinks. We just had water so they didn’t make money off that.

Day 25 – The bread, loaf 3, looks good but feels heavier & more solid than what we’ve made in the past. That could be good, or it could be bad. We’ll know when we have our sandwiches for lunch whether the consistency & flavor make the grade. We just started the kneading process on another loaf, one we’ve never made before, because we ran out of our garlic bread, wanted some for tonight’s spaghetti, and won’t be going grocery shopping until tomorrow. We’re trying the recipe for an Italian Herb Bread, however we’re doing the first part in the breadmaker & the actual baking in the oven. That way we’re hoping to be able to shape it like a long loaf rather than have it come out the size the breadmaker dictates, i.e., a sandwich loaf.  An experiment; we have become baking fools.

Day 23 – Getting colder, 33 degrees this morning, sunny. Having full hook-ups at this campsite made it easier this morning when packing up since we didn’t have to drive over to the dump station before leaving. We discovered the Honda keys were missing, so that was worrisome, but  Rob found them on the ground just outside the RV door. Phew! One of us must’ve dropped them. We departed for Carolina Beach, North Carolina at 10:40 a.m.

Day 20 – It was about 40 degrees this morning at 7:45 a.m., partly cloudy & windy again. When Rob checked things at home, he found the heat wasn’t working & it was 45 degrees in the house. Uh-oh, here we go again.  He called the propane delivery company & they sent someone out to look at it. We’d run out of propane, they filled us up (and apologized), and now we’re waiting for the temperature to come back up. Tick-tock.
