Thanksgiving is over

 

Thanksgiving is over and we had lots of good food and I ate to much.  So what is new.  On black Friday we didn’t go shopping, but we went with our daughter and her family to pick out a Christmas tree.  We drove out to a tree farm near Greencastle.  They give you a long strip of plastic and you write your name on it and then tie it to the tree that you select.  Lots of trees to select from.  Our granddaughter made the finale selection.

Heading out to  select a Christmas Tree. Notice we all  have our hands in our pockets.  It was windy and cold.

After looking and looking a tree was selected.  Many were looked at and rejected for one thing or another.  It really didn’t take to long to pick a tree.  If had been warmer it would have taken longer.

In the RV Park where we are staying  our neighbor had one flamingo in their yard.  My wife, being a flamingo person, had to put out  some flamingos to keep company with the lonely one next door.

When we were in Alaska last summer the fish we caught were shipped to our daughter as we didn’t have a large freezer in our rig.  We have since purchased a small chest freezer and put it in our fifth wheel.  It sure was a good move.  We not only have our expensive fish now, but when we see sales we can take advantage of them.  It also holds ice cream better than our other freezer. 

As we travel we joke about where RV parks are located.  Most are located next to a highway, railroad tracks or airport.  If you are lucky you can get all three.  The RV park we are staying in is quite close to Interstate 81, west of us is the railroad,  south a short ways is an airport, but the best part is the RV park backs up to a truck terminal.  It was quiet Thursday thru Sunday.  At midnight Sunday the trucks started to roll, by 7:00 AM the parking lot for the cars was full and the trucks were almost all gone.  It was not as noisy as I thought it would be.

Here is the only wild life we have seen.  This guy posed for me.
