Thanksgiving Approaches

The chill is back again here at Apache Campgrounds and Pier so, I dug out a pair of the "Smartwool" socks and will probably skip the sandals today -- as the sun rises behind the high-rise north of the campground.  The twins are perched on the same sofa seemingly hoping for glimpses of some of the few wandering cats that pass by (large front windows too are clouded with steam from doing the dishes this morning -- one way to warm the hands).

Looking for Friends (me too)



Chilly Morning

 Guess it's in the low 30s but, seemingly no frost here -- maybe further inland.  Yesterday, I downloaded some wiring diagrams for the Winnebago from the web (after a lengthy search to locate a good source with downloads readily available -- not just some detour to an advertising site offering nothing).  A few of the outlets are not working and I suspect there are some inline fuses that might be the cause -- have flipped all the circuit breakers and none are tripped off.  I printed the wiring diagrams after a time consuming search of the Winnebago and all the bins of its contents -- what's left of everything I had at Dungeness Lane.  I felt certain that I had not given away the power-plug and USB cable for the printer as it was one of the last things I loaded directly from the house to the Winnebago as it was parked on Wescott Hills Way -- had forgottten that Tiger was onboard at the time and had to hide the cables behind one of the dining table pillows to keep him from chewing on them.  DUH! D-DUH!  Finally remembered.



Another Sunset in MB

 My son Tim and his fiance Kathryn are due to arrive in South Carolina tomorrow sometime and will be in Hilton Head for a week -- with some of my "outlaws" and my ex-wife.  One reason for reserving a month here at Myrtle Beach in hopes of getting at least one day or more with Tim and Kathryn -- looks like it will be Tuesday and probably somewhere in or around Charleston so that the 4 or 4-1/2 hour drive can be split approx. in half.  Will need to check online or drive down over the weekend to locate a place to meet up -- maybe a place that can serve a Turkey leg, mashed potatoes and yams.

Will also be thinking of Dungeness Lane and the approaching holidays -- hoping the Russell sisters wll be out putting those big Christmas Balls on the tree for all to enjoy.

Speaking of enjoying something, had forgotten about the yummy two martinis I had a couple days ago -- decided that day to break the usual "Happy Hour" tendency to have a few Coors-lites and found that whipped cream Vodka which Rachael and Janice had brought to one of my happy hours.  Didn't have the Chambord to make the typical French Martini but, the creamy flavor of the vodka made it taste like a coconut flavored beach drink -- delicious.  Found some creme de cassis for the second one -- just enough pineapple juice in that small can to make two.  Thanks again to Rachael and Janice.  Yum! Yum!
