Subj : Road Tripping - Redux To : Shawn Highfield From : Ruth Haffly Date : Fri Oct 18 2024 21:40:11 Hi Shawn, RH> the summer they live in a closed RV park; all the RVs are in there on RH> a permanent basis but it is only open spring thru fall. OTOH we take SH> Ours is in a park like that. It hasn't moved since the 1970's SH> sometime. OTOH, we use ours for travel--got the same kind of mattress and pillows as on our bed at home (except the camper one is a short queen). Almost all of the comforts of home (no dishwasher, washer/dryer) but on wheels so we can take it with us. RH> our RV and travel, usually staying only a week or so with each RH> daughter and SH> Our new one will be movable. We are going to stay in our current lot SH> for the season (Mothers Day > Thanksgiving Second week of may to SH> second week of october basically) and then elsewhere. :) Any ideas where you want to go? RH> still open when Steve called, so they let him book our 5 day stay. RH> as much room as in the house but it's not bad for short stays. SH> Nice, alwaus nice ot be away and seeing family too. Yes, we're on our way home now but had a good visit with everyone. Got to our favorite sushi place yesterday for lunch. Went out for supper with Steve's brother and his wife--a bbq place but they had some "German-ish) meals to celebrate Octoberfest. I got smoked brisket with a sauerbraten-ish gravey, red cabbage and spaezle; the last two were as good as any (and better than some) I've had in German restaurants. Steve got the same but subbed potato pancakes for the red cabbage. RH> That'll work. I'll do dressing (stuffing) sometimes as a side to fill RH> out an otherwise skimpy meal, especially if it's a "clean out the RH> fridge" type meal. SH> Yes I will do /if/ there is any left over GF bread which isn't very SH> often. When I make it from scratch it goes very fast, and when we buy SH> bread SH> between Andrea and Bob it doesn't last long. I try to bake a small SH> loaf for crumbs / stuffing when I do make bread. RH> What is she studying? I was a sociology major/psychology & art RH> minors, have used the 2 -ologies mostly in volunteer capacity, art is RH> in my sewing & other craft design. SH> She's studying Medical Information Managment. From what I understand SH> she'll be the one who enters the doctor notes on what they did with SH> each patient so it can be billed correctly. What used to be called a Medical Transcriptionist? SH> She was a PTA/OTA (I can't spell either - please google) but with her SH> CREST her body can't handle the grind of much physical stuff anymore. Physical/Occupational Therapy Assistant? That is hard work; I've had PT/OT a number of times. SH> This is a desk job that with luck she can do from home. Nice! SH> SH>> Yeah it got cold fast. Frost warning last night, so I guess RH> I'll be glad to get back south. (G) SH> Going back up to 20c this weekend, so it's not bad at all! RH> My favorite is "If God had meant us to see the sunrise, He would have RH> scheduled it for 10 am (or noon), seen both versions." SH> Laugh, yes that's a good one too!
