Stop in Elkton, KY......

(I WISH I would think to take more pictures of friends instead of just scenery and animals....sigh.)

 

I ended up boon-docking at my old farm for 4 days, as I had forgotten that the electric plug-in in the carport no longer worked and the garage was locked up. Oh, well, good learning experience, right??

I had never tried out the furnace (by myself) and as it was I was having trouble keeping the fridge going on 'Gas'. I had even forgotten how (easily) the furnace worked in Baby Blue.

My mind was just still too busy from getting ready to leave on my trip.

 

Anyhoo, my friend Debbie, came to visit and between us we got the furnace going. It was windy and cold that day and I was glad to have that problem solved....... until I woke up at 3:15 am freezin' cold! A couple of nights of those 2 delemas and I finally figured out it was because the rv was not sitting level. So I moved it around to where at least the fridge would stay on, and the furnace worked till 4 am. Oh, yes, I am learning.

I had gone to town the first day and bought an 'air-card' so I could get onto the internet. But with all the other things I wanted to do I didn't get a chance to really try it out til yesterday. Its about half the speed of dial-up where I am right now, lol. The second day Debbie and I ran around W*M so I could get some velcro for my phone holder and several other things. Then she took me to her house to cook supper, and she did cook! Such a wonderful southern meal it was! I got to see her family of pups that were born last year as well as the 3 older dogs they have. Now there are 7 all together, and so cute!!I soooo wanted to bring "Curly Joe" home with me!

Thats him on the right. I bet him and Izzy could find more mischief to get into then I could keep them out of. But he is such a sweetheart of a pup!On Saturday I got to visit with a gal I had worked with at T-GASK. Emily and her husband insisted on taking me out to dinner that evening. Sunday afternoon I visited with my teamleader from the same place. Now SHE is doing something interesting...

Making a little mini-house. It is so cute, includes a little electric fireplace, room for a chair on her front porch. She is in the process of insulating the inside. I hope I can stopon the way back from AZ to see what she has done!

So good to see and laugh with old friends!

 

And now.... a final good-bye to the farm where my husband and I shared

 many good times and experiences.

I am more than ready to get on with my traveling/painting life.

 

Next post will be from Energy Lake at Land Between the Lakes, Kentucky.
