Yesterday, Tuesday 8\/18 was a travel day. It was a well known 125 miles with a stop for propane, a few forgotten groceries, lunch and a walk at Wayfarer’s Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And before leaving Emmett and I walked at River’s Edge Park and once again the Yukon went to storage. BUT after I booked the Missoula 4 day stay and thinking I’d go on somewhere after, I saw in my calendar that I had a dental appointment on Monday 8\/24. Since I was close, I checked Columbia Falls and my most favorite spot was available so we’ll head back to Columbia Falls for 6 nights on Saturday. That takes us to 8\/28 with the Labor Day holiday looming. I’m keeping an eye on weather and will decide sometime … probably :) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel Day: I got hot and tired and by the time we were set up … even though I took my time, I was “out of gas”. But we walked, I laid down to cool off, got my second wind … some video editing, supper, another walk, shower and off to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day after travel day has always been tough but today I had a list and I stuck to it! I got the outside, physical stuff done early and then was mostly inside in the heat: sewer hose hookup and basement storage reset, laundry of course, set up my bike and rode around the park dropping off garbage on the way. Lunch and then inside: I had some admin work for my folks’ finances, a little of my own and somehow the day disappeared but I feel much better for getting things done!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oscar napped more than usual as per usual after a travel day … He is asleep with his head up :) !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See, I am wide awake … not even a cat nap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim & Mary’s RV Park is famous for its flowers and gardens. They are spectacular. There is a head gardener and 3 or 4 helpers. They start all of the plants in greenhouses on the park property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think I’ve posted before, but they also have charming “scenes” in some of the gardens like the cardinal and bird bath above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual I have helpers when folding laundry…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It got done … in fact, I took everything out of this cupboard and re-folded. I had tried rolling things and didn’t like it so back to “old-fashioned” folding. Some RVrs use bins … thinking about it but I don’t have the cupboards jammed full and I can see what’s there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was this day … normal life in a different location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDITED to add this sunset photo taken on last out with Emmett. A bit of wildfire smoke turned the colors a bit more red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
