ITCHING & FOOD

003I am beside my self…..itching to get my RV and do something with it. I got the call and my appointment was made for the 19th. This is the date I wanted. Glad it worked out. Finally some fall like weather here in central FL. This morning at about 6:45 it was 74, and when I walked out the door with Maggie the humidity did not hit me in the face and knock the breath out of me… There was a good breeze and when a dried out sea grape leave blew up along the curb, it sounded just like the fall leaves do blowing on the streets  up north. I loved it, I do miss the season changes. The pic above is as close to the things I love about fall. Maple leaves swag with their beautiful colors, some large orange mums all decorating Norma E. I found in my jewelry box at home the name pin Norma that belonged to my mother who Norma E is named after. Need to find me a letter E now. 005Since no RV playing today I decided to do some food stuff. I do like to cook and bake, so I made my version of fried rice with chicken. I used John Soules Food, chicken fajitas fully cooked frozen. Got them at Sam’s Club.You can use them in many ways one other way I use them. I make chicken tacos. They are well seasoned also. Rice, and frozen snap pea stir fry from WM, with a little soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce if you like that. I make enough to freeze a couple meals and have a couple when I make it. 
004Next I made a few choco chip cookies. Mmmmmm love cookies. Even tho I am trying to cut out most  sugar in my diet I made them anyway. I know I will always have some sugar I will not be a pig out on it like I used to. So that’s my food blog today. Maybe I will make food a part of my blog. Food and the RV cooking . Sounds good to me . lol 006
When I get on the road , I hope I will have more interesting things to blog about, and maybe get a few more readers. Looking at map of FL this am, and mapped out my route to the GTG in Jan at Hillsborough St. Park. Looks fairly easy from Melbourne, anyone over this way going and wants to caravan with me let me know. All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.
Blessings , G&M

ROAD TRIP & A CACHE

Went here ......To get this....foot long hot dog. Now I really don't eat very many hot dogs, this is the first this year but I do like Eddie's foot longs. Looks like you cant see the dog, because it has the "works" on it. Eddie's is in the small north west PA town of Conneaut Lake, where my first business was located. A country gift shop. That's how I know about Eddie's and Hank's. Then down the road we went here.........Hank's
To get this...... chocolate frozen custard....as far as I am concerned the king of ice cream! Was so hot yesterday that it was melting running down my hand as I walked to the truck. Didn't take long to eat, you had to lick fast .... lol This is the first one I have had in a couple years.Then we went here .........And found this.....a cache. The cache located along a not much used road above I-79. The tree is on a big hill with interstane at the bottom. Cache was not down there. Was 97 here yesterday, I could not stay home with out A/C so we hoped in the truck and went on a road trip. Went to Conneaut Lake Pa. had some lunch, and found one cache. Conneaut Lake is the largest natural lake in PA. There is the small town, the lake and an amusement park. You can read about it here http://www.conneautlake.com/ . Found the cache a few miles up the road, I looked for a couple more but DNF and did not look to long or hard because of the heat. Stopped by my son's to wish my grandson a happy birthday, he thinks he is old at the ripe age of 19 lol. I guess because it is his last year as a teenager. For some reason gas is cheaper in Meadville than it is in Greenville, like at least 20 cents sometimes more, and with the discount from a local grocery store you can get a good deal. So every time I got to son's house I get a fill up. While doing all this gas stuff, and going to son's we got in a huge traffic jam, they were paving road. We waited in traffic for 30 min. Then we headed back to Conneaut Lake to look for a virtual geocache. Found it and will post about it tomorrow. Have to email the owner with my answers then I can log it and post. Then we came home to a boiling hot house. Miserable all night, hard to sleep, sat on porch but that made Maggie nervous in the dark, but she would not stay in the house with out me, so I gave in. I have a fan in the bathroom facing out so that it will pull cool air in the bedroom window but there was no cool air to pull in. To be 94 today cant see that 4 degrees is going to make a big difference so , it will be same today. Enough of my moaning about the heat (might as well be in Florida) so I will sign off. Thanks for looking and come back soon
