Cherry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies . . .
When I got up a little after 10 am, Jan was gone. I figured I had finally ticked her off one time too many. But then I remembered she said she was going over to the park laundry to do the rig throw rugs in the big washers when she got up this morning.
Whew! I don’t like my cooking that much.
But, luckily for me, as soon as she got back a little after noon, she fixed lunch.
Nick and Terry came over for a while and we had our usual good time talking over our plans for the next month or so.
A little before 2 pm I drove over to the RV/MH Hall of Fame to meet with them to firm up the details of the new computers I’m going to install for them. We’re going to get one of them installed for a new employee before we leave for Celina on Sunday, and then the other 4 after we come back to Elkhart the first part of October.
Jan and I have been going over our schedule for the next couple of months before we arrive back in Houston about the 20th of November.
We wanted to spend some time at the Indian Lakes Thousand Trails east of Cincinnati and some time at the State Park in Gulf Shores, AL, and a number of friends and relatives in between. And since we won’t leave Elkhart until about the first of November, it’s going to be a busy 20 days.
About 5:30 Nick and Terry, and Jan and I , along with Al Hesselbart headed over to Hollywood Diner to check out one of Al’s favorite places. Our sandwiches were good, and the soup and salad bar were delicious.
Getting back to the rig, Jan and I went over to Nick and Terry’s for a while, taking some of Jan’s fabulous Cherry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Al was there working with Nick to get his book about the history of the RV, “And the Darn Things Sold . . . Just Like That.”, set up for printing online.
A little before 8 I could see Jan was starting to nod off so we headed home for the night.
Tomorrow we plan on taking a drive through the Amish countryside and then eat dinner at Das Dutchman Essenhaus, an Amish style restaurant over in Middlebury, IN.

Thought for the Day:
From a Facebook posting from our daughter Brandi’s sister-in-law, Sherry Grady –
To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: " Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz." While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don’t settle for any of his relatives; Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, , Goodfornothingaz, Lazyaz, and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Wait on your Boaz and make sure he respects Yoaz…. Can I get a Amen!

Pizza and Computers . . .
When we got up this morning, Jan said she wanted to eat breakfast out, so about 9:30 we headed across the Interstate to Bob Evans to eat. Before we left we checked Nick and Terry’s rig, but their curtains were still closed, so we headed out on our own. We both really enjoy their food, especially since they’ve add cappuccinos to the menu, with free refills. The caramel flavor is delicious.
Getting back home, it was a cleaning day for Jan and a To Do List day for me.
A little before 2 pm I headed over to the RV Motor Home Hall of Fame to meet with them about upgrading their computers and computer network. After talking things over with them, I’ll do some research tonight and get back with them tomorrow.
A little before 6 Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed over to Mancino’s Pizza, our favorite local pizza place. But almost better than the pizza are the garlic butter breadsticks. They’re actually made from the pizza dough, baked, and then drizzled in butter. You get your choice of several dips, including marinara, spicy cheese, and of course, garlic butter.
We’ve all said that if the pizza wasn’t so good, we’d still go and just have the breadsticks. They’re that good.
Getting back to the rig we ran into Charley Dilworth. He and his wife Sherry are in the area to attend Nick Russell’s Gypsy Journal Rally in Celina, OH starting September 26th. We last saw Charley and Sherry back in July when we were in Cody, WY. It’s always good to run into friends.
