Joan on the Road...of Life

The beauty of this RVing life is that there is rarely a schedule. Today we were going to head out from Illinois Beach State Park to southern Illinois but as we checked things out Jim noticed a slow leak in a tire...the inside one of the rear pair....not something that the average guy deals with. So we called our roadside emergency people (Good Sam) who said they'd have someone out in an hour or so.

The repair guy arrived on time and discovered that it was the tire fill extension that was leaking so Jim went on a search for a replacement part. An hour later, parts arrived and leak was fixed. But we'd missed our second cup of coffee and didn't feel like a five hour drive. Besides rain was in the forecast....so we got set up again and settled in for another perfect rainy day.

I took the opportunity to visit with my Aunt Bert and Jim stayed home in his "cave" to read the news.

Once it started raining I felt the need to have Chili and Cornbread so started the cooking with a glass of vodka in hand, light rain falling, music playing, dog sleeping, deer and squirrels outside...what more could we ask.

So now the smell of cornbread (fresh ground at Spring Mill Indiana) is filling the coach, we're warm, dry and ready for a couple of movies. Tomorrow is another day.
