Listen to the music of the falling rain....

Portion of lyrics from the song, Rain, by Creed
I feel it's gonna rain like this for days
So let it rain down and wash everything away
I hope that tomorrow the sun will shine
With every tomorrow comes another life...

All day today we have dealt with on-and-off heavy rains that are beginning to affect our immediate camping area.  The ground is softening and the RV seems to be settling into the gravel and mud. Puddles are forming in the roadways and gullies, and boots will become a necessity if it doesn't let up soon. Gracie, "G" Lucy and I are handling it just fine.

We spent most of the day on a shopping spree at Camping World up in Kingston, NY with our camp neighbors.  We had a list of "Needs" and "Wants," and it seems like too many "Wants" found their way into our basket along with the many "Needs."  I'm bad, but apparently, "G" is worse, but we did get some pretty nifty things. We got a very much needed outdoor rug (thank you Teri), a welcome mat, tire covers, windshield scrubber, bucket, Swiffer, mattress cover, key holder, wall-mounted shampoo dispenser, trash can, towel hooks, picnic table cover and padded bench covers (I didn't even know they existed!). It's amazing the things you need/want with RV life.

The list that remains is longer than the items we already purchased, but it will forever be a "Never-Ending List," just like the "Never-Ending Story."  

Although "love" is never in question, "G" and I still do like each other, in spite of the close quarters, missing our recliners and adjusting to a simpler and less cluttered life. I am finding it both wonderfully relaxing and invigorating.  

Lucy is finding more and more comfy spots.  Tonight, she is hanging out in the dinette booth. A new spot, and one that offers a prime view up and down the coach.  

The rain is pounding on the roof, and, if it continues, will provide a soothing sound to lull me to sleep. So, as the lyrics to Creed's song goes, "Let it rain down and wash everything away."  Just as long as it's not Gracie with "G" Lucy and me aboard.

RV Event of the Day:  Last night we accidentally left one of the exhaust fan vents open and I was greeted with a puddle of water on the counter and floor. Nothing a bit of paper towel couldn't handle.

Deep Thought of the Day:  "Rain, rain go away, come again another day. "G" and "V" want to play."
