    • Day 133

      Heading west to St.Cloud

      September 5, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F

      Woke up to this beautiful, still morning. I never get tired of Marina views, and the reflections in the water were awesome. We dawdle around a little bit because I still had to pick Tom's prescription. Since the pharmacy was clear across town it made more sense to go by jeep. Once back we finished packing up and hooking jeep up.

      We only had about 200 miles to go so I took a slightly longer route around one the larger lakes (of the 10,000 found in the state) Mille Lacs. This lake was large enough that you really couldn't see to the opposite shore. But it was a large shallow lake and just lacked the charm of the many lakes in Michigan. (It almost seemed like Minnesota's version of Clear Lake, but with a flat wooded topography.) Nice cool day for traveling and had some rain.

      Grabbed some lunch at McDonald's and finished the day driving into St. Cloud. This fairly good size city is about 45 miles north of Minneapolis. Just seemed liked a nice quiet park to leave Tom and the RV. Only drawback is no cable, just weak over the air signals and relatively good wi-fi so Tom could stream some TV shows. Should have checked ammenties more closely!?

      Nicely spaced sites...and even though slightly older park, it has been well maintained! Individual restroom and shower set up as opposed to large gender specific restroom/ shower rooms. Lots of nice walking areas for Charlie

      Temp home for Tom

      September 6, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      Cool morning to start our day. Since Tom has come down I have been testing myself reach morning for Covid. Still negative!

      We don't have a huge agenda today, but want to make sure I am all set for flying to California tomorrow. Tackled shuttle arrangements, we practiced driving to shuttle location (about 5 miles from park), completed laundry, bought groceries, and did a general clean out of refrigerator. (If what ever food item Tom is looking for does not appear at the front of the shelf, he won't find it! ) Also had to make some play time for Charlie!
      Then needed to give some thought to what I was taking for my trip to Fresno and get packed up. It was a full day, but I did check all the boxes!

      Travel day

      September 10, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

      Fortunately my flight was delayed an hour, and better yet I was notified before I went to bed, so we got to sleep in a little later... Clarke and linley took me out to the airport to catch my 9 am flight.
      As I was waiting in the terminal I happened to run into one of my favorite church friends, Jan Akins! And more surprisingly, she was booked to fly from Fresno to Minneapolis as well!
      Our flights went smoothly and we both enjoyed our time together at the lay over in Dallas. We couldn't sit together because she was flying first class. But so fun to be able to chat and catch up in the boarding areas!

      Regroup in St. Cloud

      September 11, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F

      SO glad I have an additional day in St. Cloud after returning from Fresno. I needed the time to catch up!
      Had some fun calls in the morning, Charlie play time and then tackled laundry; clothes, towels, bedding, sofa cover, everything!
      Took time to even thin down contents in RV by packing "extras" into bins and putting under in storage. End of day included a run to the grocery store.
      I even made dinner tonight so we will have some leftovers for traveling. Still not entirely sure where we want head tomorrow?! It will be west!
