Hi peoples!
Sorry it's been so long. I guess I lost track of time. A lot of stuff has happened in six days! Like the eclipse! Boy! It was great! We were in Lakeview, Oregon. It was a nice campsite, with a lot of green grass, a ton of cows, and lots and lots of land. Here's the link: http://www.junipersrv.com/ . We saw about 94% of the eclipse at that campsite. Thank goodness we got eclipse glasses at the campsite we were at before that. Detroit Lake, Oregon. http://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=parkPage.dsp_parkPage&parkId=65
I was able to figure out how to put links up. ;) Anyway, I was very surprised at how cold it got during the eclipse. We had to turn the lights on in the camper. We didn't see the total eclipse, but it was still pretty cool. The same day, a lot of people left the campsite.
Let's see what else that has happened in the last six days. Ok, so bad news first: When we were in Lapine State park some chipmunks ate all the peppers I had on my plant. So now it looks naked. :( But that's all right, I have some tomatoes growing on my tomato plant. :D Some more bad news. My older bro Shane tripped over a big rock in the dark when we were at Lakeview. He has some nasty cuts on his legs to prove it. Today we got , by the looks of it,a tent poll stuck underneath our trailer. The RV now has a "scar" on the outer shell near the wheels. The last time that happened we had our old camper with our us. But we were less fortunate. That time it actually hit our tire and it exploded! When we pulled over, a nice man pulled over to help us fix it. The hole was about a foot long!
Now for some good news. My little brother, Jack lost his tooth! First tooth to loose in an RV for him! :) And Sammy, my puppy, has some good news for him, but not so much for us. Last night he had some fun rolling in poop! He was very proud of himself. You could see it written all over his smiling face.
Right now I am writing this blog in Eagle, Idaho. We got he from Lakeview at 6:30pm-ish.
I gotta go. It's bed time for me. I'm about to fall asleep on the keyboard. Good-night! ;)

I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can.
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeletePoor Shane, and congrats to Jack. I'm glad Sammy enjoyed his roll in poop, but I guess the rest of you didn't like that much! We had 92% of the eclipse here, and it really wasn't much. I sat on my porch with a friend, and we watched the light grow dimmer and it became about 20 degrees cooler, but that was about it. I'm determined to go to either Austin, Texas or Akron, Ohio in 2024--they will be in totality for that eclipse, and I just happen to have family in both places. I'm enjoying your writing a great deal--you're good at it! I'll check out the links, too. Much love, Gma
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was going to be another eclipse. From what I heard, I thought it was a once in a life time thing?
DeleteI forgot to comment about the chipmunks eating your peppers--I guess they don't like green tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteYeah, thank goodness! At least before we left for our trip, Mommy was able to use one pepper for her cooking.
