Sunday, June 13

Up about 7 a.m. to get ready to break camp and head home. Hubbie had a pair of camper jacks that he wanted to give to Son, so I called Son to arrange a meeting place on the way out of town.

We met at a small gas station/grocery store, where Son and Daughter-in-Law gave us a box of cucumbers from their garden, as well as a jar of dill pickles, and a jar of cucumber relish that they'd canned, based on Mother's recipes.

We arrived back home around noon, and after a sandwich lunch, unloading the camper, and showering, Hubbie and I went to the WDCS to get a few groceries and pick up a rotisserie chicken for supper.

The chicken was very good with leftover macaroni and cheese, leftover sauteed potatoes, cream style corn, and slices of sourdough bread (a high carbo meal), plus fresh cucumbers and tomatoes.

Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I watched TV until around 8:15, when we went over to the college to see an outdoor movie, sponsored by the arts council. But boo, we were told the movie, "Wallace and Gromit," was cancelled due to projector problems. "Wallace and Gromit" is a British stop motion clay animation feature that I've been told is hilarious, so I was disappointed that it was cancelled. Maybe I can rent it.

I'd packed fresh fruit and bottled water, hand fans, and insect repellent for the movie, and Hubbie had tossed the lawn chairs into the van. When we found out the movie was cancelled, we decided to go by a fast food restaurant and pick up three cups of soft serve ice cream. We brought them home to enjoy, including one for Mother, who had opted out of going to the movie.

We finished the evening with more TV.

Over the next few days, I'll post blogs about our trip a couple of hours south to attend Niece's wedding.
