Steve was able to get the water pump to prime once things were easier to see in the light of day. Not sure what he did, or what I did, but between the both of us, we got the pump working. That was one more relief and pressure off of our minds.
At noon, our friends Linda and Mark came by the park to pick us up for lunch! We went out to a nice place called Aubrey's for a good meal....
Linda has a weaving studio and some lovely looms... we spent the afternoon on her little farm, gazing at her pregnant mommy goat, and her HUGE great Pyrenees dog, Max, who guards her little herd of goats.....
(maybe the baby goats will be born while we are here?)
We oohed and ahhed and gabbed and chin wagged our way through her studio... it's very nice and she has such good taste in decorating her area around her workplace. I will ask her if I can post some interior pics on my next blog.
The guys kept themselves busy chattering away about this and that.... and it kept them outta OUR hair! LOL
We asked the folks at the campsite across from us if they barked at all. Nope.. they had even been sitting out and had their door open and didn't hear a peep. Whew!
Nothing can be worse than being stuck next to an RV all day long with barking dogs inside and the owners nowhere in sight. We have put up a video camera in the past to film our dogs while we were gone, and it's pretty boring viewing. Duke and old Ducky were always very well-behaved campground doggies. We need to train little Finney to do the same. I think he is off to a good start.
I took them up to a fenced in doggie play area in the RV park we are staying at.... and I had a tennis ball for a romping rolicking good time! Soon they were both panting so we brought them back to the motorhome for a drink and rest.
Before we left Chilton, I had purchased two unbaked pot pies from Hilde's Deli. We had froze them before we left Chilton and had them along in the motorhome freezer. I popped them in the oven for 25 minutes and soon our meal was done. Ahhhhhh a bit of Wisconsin on the Road.
I facebook'd Hilde and told her that now her foods were "imported" ! hahahahhaaaaa
NO miles traveled today in the RV

It is great that your dogs are so well behaved. At home, when we leave, they bark for awhile, but get quiet soon. Not sure how they react in the RV. It has been a long time since we have been on a trip and they were never alone.
ReplyDeleteNow warm; but warmer for you guys anyway. Glad your trip is starting out great.
ReplyDeleteWe were always fortunate as well that none of our dogs barked when we were away. Sure makes things easier.....
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all who can leave their dogs quietly in the motorhome. Until now, we couldn't do that, Abby was in a complete panic and would bark. We couldn't leave here anywhere. Finally, in her old age at 12, and with Jeremy to keep her company, we can leave the two of them for a couple of hours with no barking and no incidents. Whew. Fun to see you getting warmed up.
ReplyDeleteWe use our baby gate to keep the kids out of the bedroom and off the bed while we are gone. They lie on the dash, watch whatever is going on our just sleep in the sun. No barking, but they are wild and crazy when we walk in the door.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy that warm Tennessee weather! Soak up all the vitamin D you can!
Glad to see yo and Steve got to somewhere warmer. Bet it is great to get on the road again. My Dad lives in Old Hickory, so I am familiar with Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you visit in Indiana? Was it Nashville? If so, that may be the same place I visited how hen we were passing thru. Cute town.
ReplyDeleteRe dogs in Motorhomes. The full timers next to us in AR had a pretty new motorhome, but were having trouble with the horn going off periodically. He checked all kinds of things and one day when he was under the hood DH noticed his little dog in the drivers seat. Turned out that it was the culprit! Lol
