The end of beginners luck

I should never have bragged. We all know that. Yeah, I did a good job parking at James and Anita's. But there hasn't been a good back-in since then. Today I called the camp office and asked to change my site to one that was more conducive to an easy parking job. Thank goodness it isn't still summer tourist season.

Annelle left at 0900 from camp for what's to be her longest day yet. I'm a little concerned as we were both tired this morning.

We have broached the subject of "not as young as we once were, are we?" All you people in our cohort (I know, there are outliers) probably know what I'm talking about. You youngsters may be thinking what wimps we are. Your day will come. I could use a spa day! I'd bet Annelle (who hates spa days) would agree.

Our campground (Massasoic SP) has no wi-fi so I decided to spend a little time at the Starbucks nearest Annelle's pick-up spot at Fall River, MA. I never order those sweet drinks but today the Salted Caramel Frappucino was calling my name. I guess every few years it's good to remember why. From Find Friends it looks like Annelle may have made a turn south and she still has 13 miles to get to me. I'm early.
I picked her up yesterday at The Christmas Tree Shop! It was right across that super high bridge and I know how she loves those places. I went in and bought a small colander and a dustpan and brush. Sometimes the broom is just too much.

P.S. I realize I have a ways to go to get to a gratefulness comfort level. I keep forgetting. So, today, I'm grateful for all the drivers here in MA (known to some as "Massholes") who have been kind to this camper driver. Many people have let me into traffic in front of them and have given me the benefit of the doubt without honking.

  1. The joys of growing old together... I'm lucky to be blessed. Glad MA has treated you well.
