Well, just last week, we ended up having to put Roxy down due to an injury to her spine. These sort of losses are always hard to move forward from. But, thankfully, we have events like Halloween to serve as distractions from these sort of sad events in our lives. Being that the holiday was almost upon us, we put out some of our halloween decorations. We didn't really get any trick or treaters last year, but we thought we would try again this year since we now have some new residents with kids. Also, Eric's bureau chief Sheryl Jakabowski is retiring this month so in her honor, Eric carved a pumpkin that looked like an M&M (Sheryls favorite thing) to enter into the office pumpkin carving contest.
It turned out their two little boys were the only trick or treaters that we got again this year. So, next year, our plan is to set out to one of our favorite camp grounds this time next year. That would be our old Stomping grounds of 49er trailer village in Plymouth. We returned there this year, only by car for a visit so that we could introduce our friends Robert, Danielle and Tiffany as well as Robert and Danielles kids Zack and Audry.
We love coming to the 49er trailer village cause so many of the RV'ers like to decorate their RV sites for the kids of all of the rigs as well as the kids that live in the Plymouth area. So many rigs are so wonderful. People put a lot of work into setting something up that only gets to be up for a day or two while they stay at the park.
There were even a couple of pairs of sites that went so far as to set up a couple of Haunted houses. It's amazing what someone can do with four easy-ups stratigically placed!
Halloween and especially the little kids does a lot to help us forget about the hard times in our lives some times!
It sounds like we might be hitting the road for Thanksgiving. We will be hooking up with Karen and Mike for Thanksgiving, we just don't know yet if we'll be taking the rig to Redbluff or driving a car to Ashland. Either way, be sure to tune in for an update later in November, but we're sure there will be others before that!
Happy camping! Eric and Carol
