I was just looking at the pictures of the chairs & it doesn't show that we have little tables attached to them, now. They just weren't on there at the time of the pictures, so I will get some with the tables on. We just leave them on all the time, because that is where we put our computers or eat our dinners, very handy having them around.

Remember when we said the cabinets wouldn't be done until the 5th? Well, we were surprised when he called us on the 30th & said they were done & we could come pick the rig up. So, we finally told the kids goodbye, gave the little ones hugs & kisses & left to pick up our home once more.

I did forget to mention that we took a day & drove up to Elkhorn, WI to visit some fellow Boomer friends, Ken & Maryanne. They were at an RV rally at the fairgrounds up there as vendors. They were so close to our location, we couldn't not go visit them. It was cold & foggy, reminded me of the beach weather in San Diego in June, something we call June gloom. We had a great time, went out to dinner then played pegs 'n jokers when we got back to their rig.

So, there we were, in Amish country with the fourth of July weekend staring us in the face. We had originally made reservations at an RPI park southeast of Indianapolis for the 29th, leaving on the 5th, but, it kept getting pushed farther & farther back until finally, we just cancelled it altogether. Instead, we decided to stay at the Elkart County Fairgrounds for the weekend, since they had plenty of room. Fellow Boomers, Judy & Luke Rinehimer were also in the area, so I contacted them & told them where we were going to be staying & they came over & joined us for Friday & Saturday nights.

I did not take a single picture of what we did that weekend, most unlike me. Judy, Luke & I went into downtown Goshen on Friday night where they were having a cruise of classic cars through town. I guess there was a loop that they followed, so we kept seeing the same cars, plus some new ones every few minutes. They were also have a street fair, so we got something to eat & sat down & watched the cars go by. The next day, Saturday, there was a car show, same cars we saw driving by, now parked. But, we passed on seeing them. In the early evening, Judy invited us for dinner, and we had a feast, thanks Judy & Luke! She had read in a publication that lists diners, drive-ins & dives that the South Side Diner was the place to go for ice cream, so we followed the GPS to it only to find they were closed! Where were we going to find a fix for our sweet tooth? Fortunately, it was the GPS to the rescue once again & we were directed to another ice cream shop nearby & looking at the line, guess they had good stuff, too.

Judy & Luke had to leave Sunday morning to head for Iowa to have work done on their rig, so we were left alone on the 4th. We had planned on going to the fireworks, but, it had turned humid that day & I was nice & cool in the rig & the thought of hot, humid & mosquitoes, I told Ron let's not go. So, we didn't, but, from the sounds of the booming in the distance, which went on for about 45 minutes, far longer than the ones in San Diego, I think we missed out on a good show.
