Camping Trip, part three

Sunday, March 29

We were ready to leave camp by 9:30 a.m. The wind was still blustery, but not as strong as Saturday. The trip home was uneventful. But when we arrived, Hubbie discovered that the electric jack on the camper had gone out, and he couldn't detach the camper from the truck. So we had to unload it with the slide in, which makes for a very narrow walking space.

First on my and Mother's agenda following lunch was showering to get the smell of the smoky casinos off of us. I had to shampoo my hair twice to get rid of the odor. Then we had to wash all our clothes to rid them of the stink. At the cost of cigarettes today, I'm surprised anyone can afford to both smoke and gamble at the casinos. But I guess they can, since we noticed several folks dropping as much as $100 into the slots and losing it all. $20 was my limit for two nights. If I couldn't win on that, so be it. I viewed it as an evening's entertainment and nothing more.

Later in the afternoon, Mother and I went down to the college to watch a film fest screening...this one a humorous "mockumentary" about the search for the ivory-billed woodpecker. We were home in time to have a supper of leftovers. And then Hubbie joined us for the final film fest screening...a documentary on the life of Johnny Cash.

By this time, we were pretty pooped and ready for bed. I decided that I needed rest more than I needed water aerobics, so we didn't set the clock to rise early Monday morning.
