Yesterday..after Gary watched the news and checked out the Weather Channel on the Internet we decided we needed to move out of Ike's path. They were forecasting a LOT of rain and some wind for our area of Indiana. So..we packed up...or at least Gary did most of it. I had a couple more hours of work to do..and since we weren't sure of the Verizon signal in this part of Ohio I got on the computer and worked.
By the time he was ready to leave I was almost finished and knew I should be able to work a bit more once we hit the interstate near Indianapolis. We were on the road by about 11am....up to Indiana 36, across the state toward Indianapolis. We stopped in Rockville for lunch at the Benjamen's Family Restaurant. I had an excellent tenderloin pork sandwich. That is a popular item on menus in this part of the country.
We went around Indianapolis on I-465 and then continued up I-69 before getting off onto Indiana 35 to 67 and on into Ohio. Celina Ohio is just a few miles inside the state line. So far it appears to be far enough east to avoid most of the storm.
Today the sun is shining with some clouds appearing and we're having wind gushes that make opening the door interesting..a firm grip is needed. Hopefully that will be all we get.
Yesterday when we arrived we were greeted by our back door neighbor's Linda and Ron Fleeger. They are fellow Escapees that started full-timing like us in 2007. Several other class members and some folks for the class of 2005 were waiting on us for dinner. We gathered up our drinks, a bowl and fork and went over to Smokey and Pam's rig for a dinner of stuffed baked potatoes. They had the "Margarator" going and were sharing their green or red margaritas to anyone that wished to imbibe.
Gary and I shared a few sips of one of the red ones. I'm not drinking alcohol these days and "fruity" drinks aren't Gary's usual thing but we both enjoyed the taste. And certainly the sentiment of sharing and caring that Escapees live by.
After dinner we returned to the rig to set up and rest for the night.
This morning we went over and registered for the rally. I'm going back shortly to sign up for some volunteer duties.
I hope you are all safe and dry. Love to you all. Deb
Call us...we love to hear from you.
