What were we thinking?

Mar and I rolled out early yesterday to do the “Big Tent” at Quartzite. Now the story is that every RV’er worth their salt has to do Quartzite at least once and while you are there you certainly have to see all the stuff for sale. We got out early so we could beat the crowd. Looks like some one else had the same idea. Except they brought their dogs, their scooters and as Rick would call them “their little red pushers.” After about a half hour I realized that I had forgotten to bring my patience. I can see us back in Quartzite again, we are definitely having a blast, but I hope I never do the Big Tent. I have been there and I have done that.

Busy Days

Here’s what was going on at Boomerville yesterday. We can never complain about nothing to do. Today’s board is even busier. Boomerville winds up on Saturday or Sunday and we apparently have to fit it all in before we go.

From the Redneck Book of Manners:    Always have a positive comment about your date’s appearance, such as, ‘Ya’ll sure don’t sweat much for a fat gal.’

Happpy Hour at Camp Boomerville

The rigs are still pouring in. We get a count every night at happy hour; last night’s number 86. In the last 6 days we have gone from being a little town of about 50 people to now more than 150 and the number of big smiling, handshaking, “happy to see you” people just keeps getting bigger. If you too like people, you would love Escapees
For the Vanstones every day starts with a 3 to 7 mile walk. I had to hurry home yesterday to catch a seminar called Boondocking 101 (Boondocking is camping with out hook ups). Yesterday was a shower day, not quite as big as Tuesday, but still enjoyable. Marilyn was busy with her Wii game and her buddy Linda  with some more exercise and then she put together her chilli for todays Chilli Cook Off. By the time we got through a couple more chin wags with our newest friends it was time for happy hour and you know we wouldn’t be late for that.

Of course, after happy hour is dinner for 10 with our neighbors. That get together just happened. It’s amazing what these ladies have hidden in their refrigerators! Then we hang around the fire for a couple of hours, by then it’s time for “good night.”

Today we get a visit from friends Anne and Steen, on their way through to the Barret-Jackson auction in Phoenix. These visits from friends from the “outside” always remind me of way back when I was at Boy Scout Camp. I keep expecting some one to ask me if I’m eating right or did I change my underwear or something. I just checked to make sure there is no dirt under my fingernails. We wouldn’t want the wrong message getting out of here now would we?

Who’s up for a puzzle? I think the key to this one might be to start with Angel and work out from there. She is the black fuzz ball near the entrance.

I just did the puzzle. Do your self a favor and forget the advice about starting with Angel. My time 8:05 minutes.
