On the Mend, maybe . . .
Short Post Today as I’m still somewhat under the weather.
First up, a number of readers of Nick Russell’s blog are saying for the last few days that they are unable to access his blog.
So if you a reader of my blog, but don’t normally read Nick’s, I would appreciate it if you would click here for Nick’s Blog and let me know if it comes up OK. Thanks.
It was overcast and spitting rain on and off most of the day so Jan and I stuck around the rig, just vegetating. I tried to take a nap, but when I laid down my sinus congestion made it hard to get comfortable, so I mostly just tossed and turned.
About 5:30, after stopping at the park office to pick up some mail, Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed over to El Maguey Mexican Restaurant to meet Tom and Barb Westerfield, and Al Hesselbart for dinner. Being Friday night, they were busy and service was kind of slow, but we had a great time just sitting and talking. And when it finally got there, the food was good too.
Coming home, we stopped off at Martin’s Supermarket for a few groceries, and then it was back to the rig for the night, just in time to beat the rain.

In Brightest Day, in Blackest Night . . .
I woke up this morning still a little under the weather, but better than yesterday. I’ve been taking Cold-Eze zinc drops which seem to help. My sore throat is just about gone, but now I have a stuffed-up head and a tickle cough. We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
About 11am I made some phone calls trying to get some more info for the computer network upgrades at the RV Motor Home Hall of Fame. I’ll have to make some more calls tomorrow.
About 3:45 pm Jan and I headed over to Mishawaka, about 15 miles away. We had wanted to see Green Lantern, but had missed it earlier in the summer. And as we were pulling out of the Elkhart Campground, our granddaughter Piper called to check in after her 18th birthday yesterday.
Getting to Mishawaka, we first stopped off at Bed, Bath & Beyond so Jan can pick up some items, then it was on to the theater.
We discovered this place last year when we were here in Elkhart. This theater shows older movies (Green Lantern came out in June) and it’s cheap. (I like cheap!) Tickets are only $1.50 each during the day. Nice!
We both liked the movie which, unlike some, followed the comic book origins very closely. And supposedly there are two more sequels in the works. They certainly set up the next one in a short sequence after the credits.
Leaving the theater a little before 7, we got gas and headed back to Elkhart to have dinner at the local Cracker Barrel. Thursday is Turkey and Dressing Day at Cracker Barrel, and Jan loves it.
We had planned to go by Martin’s Supermarket on the way home, but the weather/rain was so nasty we just came on back to the rig.
