Quiet Time at Camp Allegro

During the day it isn't so quiet here with anywhere from 50-100 motorhomes moving around between campsites and the work bays, plus all the new arrivals and departures.  There are fewer people waiting for service tonight with only 10-12 people dry camping.  i.e. - no hookups.  I guess that means they are fixing the units and getting them down the road.  I was hoping for a Friday departure, but that doesn't look too promising at this time.  Hopefully we can get out of here by the middle of next week.  2 weeks here is long enough.  We are getting some much needed rest, so that is one benefit. 

There are usually people out walking their dogs (lots of dogs), standing around chatting, checking out the units and it's like a small village.  Of course your neighbor changes from day to day, so there aren't any long term relationships in the neighborhood.  I was outside today and a number of people commented on our three large windows in the side of the unit.  They hadn't seen anything like that in other Tiffin MHs and asked when I had them put in.  As far as I know, the unit came that way and has its strong points and drawbacks.  They let in a lot of light and act as a heat conductor in the cold days, but also are a heat conductor on sunny and hot days.  The double shade helps to keep the heat out of the unit on those hot days. 

Last night we drove up to a local pizza parlor and sat there in the parking lot and watched "The Amazing Race" on our computer. The program aired on Sunday night and we didn't get a chance to see it then, so it was nice to be able to keep up with the program.  It was one of the better episodes with a lot of nice scenery and stuff we've never seen before.  They even managed to get a Ford truck plug into one of the challenges.  The contestants had to hook up a chain to a large boulder and pull it forward to find the next clue.  The "Ice Hockey Crew", two girls didn't know how to drive a stick shift transmission and had to get some help from the Oklahoma boys.  Of course, the contestants had nice things to say about the Ford pickup.

We stopped at the pizza parlor since they had a very strong internet connection and I don't want to use up all of my 20 gig allowance with my Millenicom account.  I did check today and I have 11 gig left, so we will be able to watch some more tv through the end of the month.  We don't have cable tv here or a Dish or Directv account, so we rely on over the air tv or a campground with cable.  There are times when we don't get either, but we manage to make it through those terrible times ok.

Gerry spent the day making Halloween cards and the 9 lucky people should be getting their cards in a few days.  She enjoys making the cards and originally started out making birthday and anniversary cards.  No problem.  Now she makes Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, Sympathy, etc etc cards.  I think she is obsessed and I may have to set up an exorcism for her.  Just kidding.  She loves doing it and does a great job.

Which one is yours?

The weather forecast is for 30 degrees tonight and 27 on Friday night.  After that there will be a warm up to more typical temperatures.  We are warm and toasty in the MH, so it's no problem for us.  I would hate to see the electric bill for the campground though.  Most people take advantage of the electric and save their propane.  Our heat pumps work fine, and a small electric heater keeps us at 65 degrees.  

That's what we have been doing, what about you?
