BABY GENERATOR MAKES HOME COMFORTABLE ~Longview-WA

September 4th: Holland's Dr. appointment is tomorrow, so we packed up and moved this morning. When we arrived in Longview, we wanted to try the new generator out, so we pulled into the Wal*Mart off Industrial Way and set up there - there was plenty of room to push the slide-outs out, so that's what we did. We'd only be there overnight, so it was okay with the store manager.

Holland's friend Tim, and his wife, stopped by to visit a bit with Holland and see the 5th wheel; and baby generator (used for the first time, boondocking in Longview-WA). I like Tim - and would have liked to have met his wife, but I stayed inside with Bleu because the dog frightened his wife: I get that; I was afraid of dogs for a loooong time before my first husband and I got our first one.

Set-up in the 7th Ave., Wal*Mart, Longview-WA; plenty of room to utilize the push-outs ;-)

The Baby Generator works wonderfully - and it's really quiet. BIG BONUS. We slid the generator under the slide-out at bedtime - in case it rained overnight.

We like this :-)

This way of life doesn't appeal to everyone - but it works for us.

We deliberately chose it :-)

And we'll be road gypsies as long as we can be, before setting roots again.

While the visiting was going on during the walk-around outside, I got busy designing and working up a new kitchen towel set. The ones currently in use are okay - but they are getting thin in places where the yarn is wearing with use.

Plus … I want new towels to represent my New Life with my new Husband. So, I am designing new towels using hem stitches that are more masculine in appearance, than the stitches I started using after becoming a widow.

Holland is appreciative ;-)

I got busy on working up some new Kitchen Towel Sets - current ones are getting worn.

'Bamboo St.' hemline; there's a man in the house, now ~ frou-frou won't work, anymore. LOL

FOUND IT! Holland's Collapsible BBQ ~Hoquiam-WA

September 1st: The entire day was a good start to a new Sabbath Rest :-)

First off, I called Becky, to see how's she's doing … and she mentioned the possibility of us getting together at this RV Park when we get back this way in 2024. That will be fun! We are full-time RVr's - and she and Bobby like to get out and use their RV when they can: Graysriver-WA is not that far from Hoquiam-WA. What a fun event to look forward to ;-)

Then, we drove into Aberdeen, to do some grocery shopping.

While there, I suggested we troll Wal*Mart aisles to see if we could find the BBO Grill Holland has been wanting - he saw a guy using it in Wyoming, and said he used to have one … and would like to have another one. He described it to me, and I'd never seen anything like it; so, I was curious ;-)

While we were trolling and talking, he spied it!

So, it came home with us :-)

You would have thought Holland had struck gold. LOL; Aberdeen-WA Wal*Mart.

On the way back to our 5th wheel, Holland stopped at the Office to see if the battery he ordered has arrived: it hadn't yet. We collected it later on in the day.

Holland picking up the battery for the Big Generator; we like this RV Park - we'll return, here.

Labor Day RVr's gone; there wasn't an empty lot over the weekend … we'll pack up & move on, Monday morning.

We like it here.

We will return, when we are back in this neck of the woods.

FINALLY! He's only been looking for this type of BBQ Grill, ever since Wyoming.

Holland BBQ'd steaks for Supper: YUM!
