Last camping trip of 2017

Our last trip was a chilly trip.  we decided on Hanson Hills, a privately owned park. Friday's high was 53 degrees, Saturday was 40 and then dropped into the 20's. We brought 2 space heaters and let the water drip on the faucets. But we had a nice time and it was only 25 minutes from home! Tomorrow we will winterize it. I hope to go camping more next year and we plan to go to Hanson Hills again. They has a chili cook off, which our friend won. And the kids painted pumpkins and had a costume parade.Really enjoyed the park.

Weekends go too fast

This weekend flew by, as they always seem to do. Saturday, my daughter, invited me to a Fall Festival up by Fulton. It wasn't very big but the antique store was awesome! I had a nice time. Today it rained most the day. I noticed the trees are starting to change finally. It has been so warm this fall. A friend of mine, lilacs even bloomed again! I just hope we get Fall weather and not jump into winter!

October 8, 2017

Today is my mother's 81st birthday. She just got back from Las Vegas. She was actually there of the day of the shooting. I didn't know about it until I woke in at 4 in the morning. I saw the news of the shooting and started to text my mom. She answered after the 2nd text. Needless to say she was unhappy I woke up but I was happy not matter. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.
This weekend has been kind of slow. I have been sick, with bronchitis and other fun illnesses, so we haven't been doing much of anything. Yesterday, Jefferson City has a multi-culture festival. Sadly the weather didn't cooperate until the afternoon. Not many booths left to visit but my husband and I enjoyed walking around without the crowds and did a little shopping. We stopped for dinner at the food trucks. My husband got a huge nacho plate at one and I went to my favorite; Jerk Hut. Delicious!
Today is like a summer day. It is hot! I took a bunch of clean towels to the camper for our upcoming last camping trip of the season. I love Fall but the spiders are out in full force! All the persimmons have fallen off the trees and the bees are loving the persimmons on the ground.

Jerk Hut Food Truck...my favorite!

I am so ready for this year to be over with and the cool air to return. I am ready for cold nights and my fire pit keeping me toasty.
