Sorry I'm a little late, but the gate is open, so come on into our garden of friends, and fellow collectors and chat awhile.
LETTUCE??????
What lettuce???
All I see is a comfy place to nap!!
Well.. my set up worked just fine!
And I found a spice combination I really like..so made 9 lbs of sausage today (Boston Butts were on sale for 99lb lol)
Yummmmmmmmm! Like the set-up. Looks like it worked out well for you. Congrats.
Today`s canning.....27 pints of chicken..was almost an all day project..would have gone faster if I`d have cut it up yesterday..but it needed 1 more night`s thaw in the fridge.
But anyhoo..back in good stock on it now! 😀 My canning list is shrinking!
Has been a while since I have been here in the chat. Been busy but think I can slow down a little now. We are currently in Sarcoxie, Mo. It's between Springfield and Joplin. The park is wonderful, lots of room between lots, the bathhouse is gorgeous even has a sauna! There is a fishing pond, swimming pool, and the weather has been wonderful.
So, when we left Tennessee on our way to Indiana, we had a blow out! John did a great job of handling the rig. And we got pulled over but had to wait for the guy to come out and fix it. Since it we were right on the highway, we figured it was better to have some help rather than try to do the change ourselves. We had roadside with our insurance, but they had a heck of a time finding anyone to come out due to our location. Five hours later, a guy showed up. It took him less than an hour to change it. There were less than 5000 miles on the tires.
Once we got to Corydon Indiana, I told John we weren't going back on the road with those tires, so we set it up to get new tires. There was ONLY cosmetic damage to the rig, thank goodness. Called the insurance guy and they came out and did their thing. There wasn't a dealer/repair shop near there and although the town of Corydon was full of antique shops, the camping spot left a lot to be desired.
We checked and found that there was a dealer/repair shop for Forest River in Joplin, twenty miles from where we are now. The best thing is that with Michelle's mother right here we would have a place to stay while they were working on the RV. We already checked in with the dealership and they are ordering the parts. If the horror stories are true about the time frames to get parts and get the work done are true, we are in the best place to wait it out. Besides, there are some great shops around here. I found some great pieces already.
I get along great with Michelle's mother who is only 30 miles away and we love playing tri-ominos, skip-o, and a few more games. So, between enjoying the campground, shopping the little towns around here, and playing games ... I'm a happy camper!
The plan is to winter in Texas around the Killeen area. That of course will depend on how soon we can get the rig fixed.
Your experience reminded me of that old song ... I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes. LOL
Hope everyone is safe this morning. Looks like it was a bad storm.
We are in Sarcoxie, Mo. Ths place is wonderful. We found an RV repair place in Joplin for the RV and are working with the insurance company.
The original plan was to stay here until the middle of Oct so we could be here for the fall foliage. Then we were going to spend winter in Texas. But, because this is a great place and we are close to Michelle's mother and we will be staying here for the winter. Besides there are tons of antique stores and malls in this area. 🥰
