Meant to get up earlier this morning, because we were scheduled to leave around 9 a.m. to go pick up the camper, but Hubbie let me sleep until around 8 a.m. So I hurried around and managed to be ready shortly after nine.
About 11 a.m., we met Hubbie's sister for lunch at a popular Italian restaurant in a town about 30 miles from the camper repair shop. Hubbie's sis, Mother, and I had the chicken scampi, with angel hair pasta. Mother had a creamy soup with hers, and the rest of us had salad. Hubbie ordered all-you-can-eat soup and salad for his lunch.
Shortly after noon, we were ready to travel to the other town to pick up the camper. On the way out of the restaurant, we met a woman we know from our town, so we stopped to chat for a few minutes. Small world.
Re: camper: it could be that the mishap Hubbie had in attempting to pull the camper into our driveway around a stalled truck, which dented the side of the camper and bent one of the jacks, could have been providence, because when the repair guy removed the siding, he found that the wood underneath was rotted. The only thing holding the refrigerator and the heating unit up was the siding itself. I cringe to think what might have happened if those two units had dropped while we were on the road!
We speculate that when the camper was damaged in a wind storm months ago, which required repair to the slide-out, that the other side of the camper was damaged too, creating a leak that rotted the wood. We'd been noticing a leak coming from under the heating unit, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
Besides the good fortune of having the problem discovered, we were also thrilled to learn that our insurance covered the repair expense.
We arrived home around 4 p.m. At 6 p.m., we went to a local math and science magnet school for their fall festival. The school served barbecue sandwiches, chips, and cookies for supper. I only had appetite for part of my sandwich, with bottled water.
After we'd eaten, we checked out the silent auction. The auction ended at 7:30, and I think the only things we got were $155 worth of biodiesel for $30, and $70 worth of colored pencils (several hundred different colored pencils) for $21. We should never go for want of the right shade of colored pencil now.
We were home from the festival around 8 p.m., and finished the evening watching TV.
