Today started as many days start: Coffee and a Nature Valley Oats n Honey Granola Bar. Then I received a text from our host that she had left homemade blueberry scones with some maple butter in the kitchen and to help myself. Wow emoji! So I made another cup of coffee and had an absolutely delicious blueberry scone.
Today was the first day that I had to ready the camper for a trip by myself. Moreover, put it on the trailer hitch and drive it out of the yard, out of the driveway, and drive to Niantic. The driving part is not the problem. I had a pull-through (thank Goodness) reserved, so all good. This is also the first time I have had to set up totally by myself. It all worked out nicely. I never once have taken all the work that DL does in this adventure for granted. Never once. Today reminded me why I don't.
It was one of the hottest days I've had. There were records set here in Connecticut. Here, the weather station said it was 87, feels like 89. The car said 96 when Jack and I arrived, and 90 when I returned from a little shopping expedition to Mystic. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be 58. What a difference a day makes. (Understand, Georgia friends, I am not trying to compare the heat to your daily experiences. The local TV weather people were commenting that they thought beach-going weather had come to an end, and fall temps were likely here to stay. I wonder when we can say that back home.)
I visited the Olde Mistick Village in Mystic this afternoon. We had looked all over Connecticut for a souvenir shop, and had yet to find one. Today's visit accomplished my goal. The "shoppes" in the Village were as one might expect. As usual, I made sure to snap a pic with a whatever. In this case a gnome. When I came back to Roxy and looked at the picture, I realized he really did look like he might be after me. I had taken the attack photo first to send to my dear friend who is no friend of the gnome. If one notices the hand reaching out, one can see how there may be something to that distrust.
A nice light rain has been falling off and on, and the temp is delightful tonight. I was hoping to cycle around tomorrow, but I believe the rain is going to keep me from that exploration.
