Shopping for Stuff We Don’t Need
We’re in Nashville, Tennessee right now. Last night, we sat outside and worked. It was just cool enough to make the humidity bearable. But, once we got settled, we saw a flash of light in the sky. Richard checked the radar on weather.com and said, “I don’t see anything.”
So, we were surprised when, just a few moments later, the skies opened up. It rained so hard that little rivers were running under the RV. The kids sat outside under the canopy with their new friends and had lots of fun while we dove inside with our laptops. The rain lulled Max to sleep.
It rained all night and all day today. When it slowed this afternoon, we grabbed the umbrellas and walked to Camping World, which is right near the front of the park. We bought $200 worth of neato camping gadgets…which we probably don’t need. We always have wet towels everywhere and I was specifically looking for suction cup hooks to hang in the bathtub. I found some and bought a box of eight, along with some small suction cup containers that I hung from the bathroom mirror. We now have lots more storage space for our toiletries. Suction cups – an RV mom’s best friend! We also bought a fly swatter, some lightbulbs, a magnifying glass (for Frank, the bug hunter), a new RV cookbook, a new campground directory, and a dozen other odds and ends.
Today was one of those rainy, dark days that make you not want to do anything, so we weren’t too terribly disappointed when the wi-fi conked out this afternoon. We crawled in bed and watched the local news before cooking dinner (hot dogs) and then dragging our feet to get back to work. I’m on our T-Mobile connection right now. Tomorrow we’re dropping by our printer’s office for a visit (we’ve never met them in person before!) and are then heading to Wytheville, VA. See ya there!
