Mon. May 16th, Just more rain...

Join us as we travel North America in our 
Holiday Rambler Vacationer, since August 2006

       Well its Monday the beginning of a brand new week! But we are still having the same old weather cool, overcast and rainy. But it sure beats cold and snowy. So as the day progressed I was in and out frequently for small walkabouts in the drizzle, get fresh air and even a short drive to the store for a loaf of fresh baked french bread. Computing and researching more, attempting to locate a cable for my recliner. I emailed and called a couple of dealers in Ontario but, no luck. Then I talked to Rob the owner/manager of Rock Glen and he contacted his parents who just happened to be at a large Holiday Rambler Dealer in Georgia. Apparently the part was discontinued by I was given phone number and part number of the Manufacturer in Elkhart Indiana. A phone call to them revealed that was not the part I needed, but was asked to email pictures of the seat to them. So with that done I await their reply.

       Before I knew it was afternoon and its still raining. So off to the pool and hot tub where the warm humid air just feels like a day on a tropical beach, minus the sound of the waves. Well I can dream can't I? So a soak in the hot tub, a few laps of the pool and chat with a couple of other fulltime rver's, sure makes you feel good on a dull day.

       Back home Rich and Mary-Lou dropped by the campground for a visit and stopped for a chat, (more catching up) haven't seen them since last fall. Next thing we realize its time for supper so I whipped up a  a hot beef sandwich, with creamy mashed potatoes, gravy and peas for supper. Love the left over roast beef.
tasty
       Now after supper we can find time to read for a while, its still overcast and drizzly outside, but we are comfy here looking out at the green leaves, lush greenery appearing on the trees.

       Well no time again for an afternoon movie we will see what Tuesday brings. The forecast says 70 percent chance of sunshine! Looks promising.

  1. We're thinking with the weather we have been having this spring, we may just stay down south next year.

    Love leftovers! Our roast beef was just small but I had enough to make a nice beef soup for our lunch the other day.

    We thinking the same but like too our 5 grandchildren during the summer months when possible.
    Yes left overs are always great, sandwiches, another meal or if there is bones I do make soups too.

    Contessa:
    The gravy, all the drippings from the roast, potatoes carrots, onions, garlic etc. from the slow cooker, this time I added an "Au Jus" package I found in the cupboard to the roast. Just strain it boil to reduce a bit and thicken with corn starch or whatever you like. I do many variations of that, no particular recipe, just do what tastes good.
