Not too long after we set up yesterday in Camp
Faribo, it started to rain. Not the
violent rain we had the two nights before, but a soft shining rain. Light was
shining down through the rain, so I took a short video to see if I could
capture the look.
It isn’t quite what my eyes saw, but close. I just love the
sound of the rain on the roof of our little beach house on wheels. When morning
came, Bill left at 7:15 and I took
my time and left at 10. It was a good thing I relaxed a little this morning
as the day’s ride had some very exciting moments. The roads were very busy and
this little country girl got just a wee bit tense. Toss in lots of road
construction, closed roads, tiny roundabouts, and tight spaces and you have a
good part of my day. Miss Garmin was especially enjoying her day as she guided
me in circles with multiple left and right turns and down back roads. At some
point, I wasn’t even sure where I was, so blindly followed and was pleasantly
surprised to end up in Lake Elmo.
No, not actually in the lake…it’s the name of the town. LOL! Feeling frazzled,
I went to the camper and put on some Young Living Essentials oils…Stress Away
and Tranquil and tried not to hyperventilate. ;)
I called Bill and he gave me
the address of a campground he found so I punched it in and started out.
Wouldn’t you know, I had to drive back through some of the construction and
closed road that I had just gone through! That’s okay, I’m parked in the St.
Paul East RV Park where the people run a tight ship and are friendly and
helpful. Bill was here to meet me and he drove into the spot for me. Nice
showers and I’ll be able to do our laundry here too. Bill had a pretty good
ride once he found a bike path and went by a field where a couple of pieces of
machinery were picking green beans.
When we lived in Wisconsin
years ago, Bill worked for a company that built a similar machine. He also got
a picture of the bridges over the Mississippi River.
I
did remember going over that, fortunately only once today. LOL! On one of the
rough roads I was on yesterday, one of the door shelves in the fridge cracked
so we went to Hobby Lobby for some model cement and then over to Staples to
pick up some business card sheets so we can wrangle all the business cards that
have accumulated. Now we’re back in our little camper and it looks like rain
again tonight. That’s okay; at least Bill doesn’t have to bicycle in it.
Tomorrow will be cleaning and laundry day and then on Sunday we’ll be
worshiping with a church up in Forest
Lake. Thank-you for reading.
