So, 1 week into a very hot & humid July.... and I STILL love it here! Worked 6am-2pm yesterday then hit the beach with my Nook. Sat close enough to the tide line to have the water lap at my toes. :-) Stayed for about 90 minutes, watching a couple of hermit crabs and a tiny little jellyfish playing in the waves. idn't see any stingrays, but that was probably because there were a LOT of people in the water, trying to keep cool and enjoy the Saturday heat as best possible.

Turns out plugging the RV into the outside outlet while the hot tub was still on the same circuit was not our brightest idea. So now the living room is dark and moody. Issue#1 on the now-growing list of things we have to deal with upon our return. Don’t worry—Issues #2 and #3 will make their grand appearances later. We kicked off August 9th bright and early, tackling the usual last-minute scramble: packing the stragglers, taking out the trash, and finishing the dishes. All that domestic hustle before… heading to work. Because apparently vacations don’t start until after the real workday. This was our third adventure in the Itasca. Trip #1, I had to meet her on the road (thanks, work), so I drove the tow car. Tr...
