Indiana

May 19-21... - Sun & Mon - Not much happening. Dixie has done a couple of Haircuts, we made a trip to Monticello for groceries and we've been catching up on our reading!!!!! Pretty boring blog reading.
May 19 ... Sat - The park had a clean up day. Dixie raked tree branches and twigs from a recent storm and helped plant some flowers. In the afternoon we attended a litte get together with fellow campers.
May 18 … Fri – Today we decided to take a drive (20 miles) into Lafayette. Dixie wanted to get her eyes checked for new contact lenses. We went to the mall where we inquired at a couple of places but decided on Lenscrafters where she had the exam done this afternoon. I spent the time in the Panera Bread Co. having a cafĂ© latte and using their free internet service.
May 17 … Thu – We went down to the clubhouse to use the high speed internet this morning. Since there’s a fitness center here as well, we worked the muscles a bit on some of the hand-me-down equipment that’s typical in RV parks. Dixie did some aerobics watching a video.
May 16 … Wed – Move day; this time to a Western Horizon park in Monticello, IN. We made intermediate stops at a Flying J for fuel and at Bill Gardner RV in Lafayette (home of Purdue University) to have them look at our Dometic refrigerator. They are ordering a part for it so next week we’ll be making the 20 mile trip back to have it installed. The park is having sewer problems so we have to park in an area with no sewer hookups. Hopefully we will be able to move to the section that is on the lake by early next week. We have no internet service at our site and the phone service is minimal! We are at this park for 3 weeks….it could be a long 3 weeks!
May 15 … Tue – We drove into Scottsburg and visited a nice “coffee bar” that offered free wifi to its customers. We spent the morning and the afternoon doing things around the motorhome. Mike put everything away because rain was expected (we got it) later in the evening.
May 14 … Mon – We woke up to a cool morning of about 44 degrees but by noon it was sunny and in the 70’s. We took a drive into Scottsburg to look around at yet another small town in America. We then had a delicious lunch at the local Cracker Barrel Restaurant. Back at the mh Mike did some cleaning and re-arranging of items in the cargo compartment.
