MYSTIK LAKE and PRIOR LAKE outside of MINNEAPOLIS MN

This morning we went to see Ben at Perkins for the last time this visit! We will be leaving for parts on West this Friday July 28th. Ben is well and working nights this week so our visits have been early morning when he gets off work, before he goes to bed. The guys took two mornings to unload Ben's moving boxes that we brought from Victor's in Ohio. The car was full to the brim!! We think that one more trip will finish up his moving. He was anxious to get his easel. He's been wanting it for some time now.
Our only other entertainment has been Mystic Lake Casino here by the RV Park. We haven't bothered driving around, adding on more miles. We'll get that as we travel on west.

Gary is just returning from his late morning run to the Casino.
He found a walkway that comes by their parking garage
down and around to our RV.
They also have shuttle service from the RV and back.

So this morning was breakfast for us and dinner for Ben.  I sure couldn't live that switching around all of the time.  But for his employment which switches depending on the job locations and needs, and for his need to take care of his own business, he needs his days sometimes.
Gary is finalizing some of our stays as we are traveling on west, with one week stop in Aberdeen SD to meet with more relatives, before going on to Glacier National Park.
We finished our stay in Ohio with friends, Cathy and Jim fixing us breakfast and then dinner out with the family. We  also saw to Gary's sister, Janet's transition from the ten day hospital stay into the nursing home again. She really is not stable or strong enough to be on her own as she would like. So sad, but she does not seem to accept it well. Victor does what he can to take care of her business. God bless him for that!!
As we arrived in the  area to pick up the motorhome, the addition of new springs was even a visible change for the good.  He sure did not have the sway that he had when I followed him anytime before!! We are amazed how solid it feels even when walking inside even!! Glad that we made the upgrade.

I followed Gary after picking up
the motorhome.

Our first stop before picking up the
motorhome was at a Thrift Shop to
buy this vase for on the floor of the Condo.
I saw it before we left here in June, but
debated buying it. It was sure an impulse
 to stop and buy now, but I was driving!!

Last evening here  was storms and tornado warnings. We went to the storm shelter that they have here in the park for about a half hour. But I think that it was a bit more north of us. Maybe a few miles, but no touchdown. It had looked nasty for much of the afternoon.

Shokapee MN area

Mystic Lake RV Park by the Casino. Very nice, neat park.

We sure are close on our hook-up side!!

 

Our lot as seen from the door.
I have sure enjoyed sitting out for two days!
Reading, of course.

The walk from the casino had an awesome wall of flowers. Can't imagine hos much water it must take to keep them looking so nice.

Hope that the storms are not affecting all of you out there!!  Take care and stay tuned.
