Where Are We??

Where Are We??

(Joliet, IL) Hi  82 Lo 61 -- I've noticed during our travels that sometimes when I get up in the morning I have to think a moment to remember where we are. And even when I know where we are, I'm still missing some information, especially when watching local news or weather reports on storms, like what county we're in. And when I'm reading blogs, people will give the name of the city they're in, but not the state. Then I realize that a city name could be in several states. I can't remember a lot of places we've been, so I'm glad I've kept a very good record of what parks and cities and states we've been in (located to the right on the blog). This lifestyle makes you think, what day is it? What time is it? And where are we? It just can't get any better!

My memory is as good as ever,

it's just not as long.

We did something when we woke up this morning that we seldom ever do, we turned on the TV and just laid there together watching the morning news. That makes for a relaxing start of the day!

One side of our kitchen sink has been draining very slow, so Jim climbed under the sink and took apart the pipes and cleaned them out.

After that project was over we decided to check out another campground about five miles from us.  Leisure Park Resort is quite nice.  It's a large park and has a swimming lake, fishing lake, lots of activities, a pool, and two huge recreation buildings. It's a membership resort, but they have plenty of lots available for transients. It's $27 a night with Passport America or Good Sams memberships. They don't take reservations, but the lady in the office told us that they've never turned anyone away except for holiday weekends. There aren't a whole lot of RV parks in the Chicago area, so it's nice to have another option when we visit this area.

After a stop at Wal-Mart to get a few groceries we got back to the park just in time for some very hard rain and storms. We needed the RV washed after the travels the past few days so we welcomed the rain.
