We were headed for a family reunion, missed it by a day. Our VW bus which pulled a small trailer with all our gear had to be pushed to start it--or we could park on a hill if there was one. In essence, we pushed that VW all across the country and back. It took one hour to set up camp and cook dinner and one hour to eat breakfast and break camp down and get on the road. It rained on us every time we stopped on the way home. Hubby would say, "Which cloud shall we camp under tonight?" No time for sightseeing, only what we could see from the windows of the bus.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.

This year we went to Decatur, IL, to visit my side of the family (a trip my hubby makes me take every other year), and then spent a week with 4 other families up in the Sierra Nevadas (Graeagle, NW of Truckee, for those of you who know the area). THAT was fun. <br /><br />Gayle<br />http://gaylecarline.blogspot.comGayle Carlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783449240138097315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-41376874831476526212009-08-10T07:54:46.622-04:002009-08-10T07:54:46.622-04:00This happend a gazillion years ago.

He was a great guy, but in the excitment of our departure, as he turned off electrical equipment, he accidently unplugged the fridge. So while I cleaned up the mess, he went outside to mow the grass. He forgot to empty his pocket on the dresser, so it emptied itself on the lawn and he ended up grinding all his keys. <br />Sometimes it's just better to stay home in the first place! :>)<br />Diana<br />http://www.dianablack.netDiana Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177915857090560626noreply@blogger.com
