Once again at Croton - Our second home

After a extended amount of time, waiting for "G" to adjust the mirrors, put on his seat belt, adjust his chair and position his seat, we were on the road again, heading to our home away from home. The scene on board was quite reminiscent of a Honeymooner's episode of Ed Norton preparing to drive a car, much to the chagrin of Ralph.

Here we sit, with "G" surfing the net in the dining area, Lucy sitting on the couch, watching The Voice and I, composing my blog and enjoying the fireplace on this windy and chilly night.  Our coach is situated in the middle of three spaces here. On one side, in his Winnebago, is Charlie (AKA my Man of Honor), and on the other are our friends Ray and Kathy in their huge Tiffin, Phaeton. We had planned this week together a while ago and we all showed up within a 1/2 hour of each other.

                                

Charlie was able to get himself all settled in by the time we got here and it took us longer than I had anticipated to get ourselves leveled, hooked up and unpacked.  I'm so glad I had the insight to put up our dinner in a crock pot that simmered away and filled the coach with wonderful aromas as we attended to all the necessary tasks.

Once Kathy and Ray arrived and settled in, we all met up at Charlie's picnic table to shoot the breeze and have a quick catch-up. After a tour of Allie, everyone went to their motor homes and settled in for the night. It was a long day and the bed is looking quite inviting right now.

I purchased a Thunder Shirt (Thunder Shirt) for Lucy, which is supposed to wrap around her, snugly to make her feel safe.


Thankfully, it has a 3 month money-back guarantee, so we will be giving it an all-out attempt during this trip. I put it on her before we left home, but she performed a Houdini act and got herself out of what looks just like a straight jacket. Let's see how it goes, she has actually readjusted quite quickly being back on board Allie, proving to me that she is liking this lifestyle as much as "G" and I.

Deep thought for the day: Home is where you park it.
