Trip to Michigan-Terry & Gayle Steinbeck:
It seems the more things change, the more they stay the same. We made it to Michigan Friday, but not without a few problems. Luckily it didn't rain while we were on the road, just thunderstorms every night. The first day on the way to La Grange the bike rack lock malfunctioned and I almost lost my bike. It was still there, but the rear wheel rim is bent.(new wheel coming). Someone forgot to close the bathroom roof vent when we left for Texarkana, bye-bye cover. Didn't notice until that night when going to the potty that not only was it raining outside, but also inside. Upon the roof with storage container and woodblock to hold it in place for the night...in the rain. The day before, somewhere around Henderson that "call" came, so quickly turn into a Kroger parking lot, downhill, almost ripped off the spare tire. Good news when we got to Sikeston, I was able to find a roof vent cover...almost plug and play. Since the spare tire had been desperately hanging on, I decided to do a little maintenance on the mount. Hammered some brackets back into shape (almost like new??). Arrived at our campground in Michigan and after the usual uncomplimentary exchanges, and after what seemed like hours, we made it into our spot. I did manage to uproot some small pine trees and rearranged some landscape timbers. Also broke off the washing machine sewer dump on the trailer...big deal...we don't have a washer. Just another uneventful trip!! Time to settle in and enjoy the cool weather...but not giving up my shorts.
This only happens in the movies !! Thanks, Terry...it made my day.
Nathalie Anderson made 49 baby quilts for Janice Teppo to take to the NICU Janice goes to hold babies. These can now be delivered as Janice couldn't get into the UICU before due to the virus. Nathalie made them during the pandemic. As Janice said that “even during this scary time it shows that Trophy Gardens Cares.” Thank you, Nathalie!!
Trophy people are caring people!!
