I had an evening out at the campground at our neighbor's. Judy is the one who lost her husband five years ago and still summers here and winters in eastern Arizona, sometimes making the trip alone. It was nice visiting with her while here. I only sat out until the mosquitoes began biting. We are not in favor of the smoke saturated clothes and hair, but I wanted to visit with neighbors.
On Friday, June 30th, we moved across the park because our site had been rented out before we made our reservations. Since that move we have been surrounded by children and dogs! It has been so nice for sitting out and Gary got some repair done to the under side of the closet slide in the bedroom. It has had too much moisture damage from outside, maybe from rain splashing up from a table of ours that we often sat under it not realizing the damage it was doing. Gary is not sure that his make-shift repair will be enough. We'll see. It can be repaired again when we get back to Ohio for a longer time. We found a new to us RV Service there, that is good. We have since found another such place near here and we will be going there for another problem on the 6th. If not one thing, it is another.
I gave Gary a scare while he was working on the slide. I had been standing nearby to fetch and hand him any supplies or tools that he needed. He always begins work early in the day for the cool, so I did not take the time to eat anything before going outside. Not sure if that was the cause, but I began to feel light headed. So I went to the picnic table and sat down. When Gary realized where I had gone he found me almost on the ground. I don't remember that at all!! And of course, we did not think to take a blood test for sugar. But Gary did go inside and get me something to eat once I was up and clear minded. So we spent a couple days using caution, but all has been okay since.
July 3rd, we went to Red Wing, MN for one last time. There was a house that I had seen from one of the main highways through town that we took the time to drive by for pictures. In addition we checked out the main streets of town, another Antique Mall and the Salvation Army Thrift store.
Driving through downtown- -
 |
| The buildings in this town are so well maintained, even when not in use. We were in awe of the town! |
 |
| The flour mills are very much a part of the town. And we could see the Memorial Park on right of this picture. We had visited this earlier in our visits here. |
We stopped in at the St. James Hotel as we had heard that it was beautiful inside.
 |
| Pictures never good when taken through windshield. |
 |
Walking to the St. James, we passed a Cafe' that we returned to for an ice cream cone. Yum, yum!!
|
| A little park across from the hotel. |
 |
| RED WING!! The size of this well known Red Wing boot is said to be a fit for a twelve story tall man!! |
 |
| Sewing machine used in the making of their boots. |
There was a museum on the second floor of the store.
Now off to the Pottery Place for the mall of Antiques shops. There are three floors of this, but will save the upper floors for another visit.

| Furnace from the Pottery Factory |
 |
| Another furnace//kiln. Wish we had a narrator for these sites! |
Cannon Falls RV Park has been a nice place to stay. So much like our Ohio Timashamie.
 |
| Our newer Home location! |
 |
| Former area that we were in. |
 |
| We were parked behind that tree to the left of the laundry building. It was great shade for us. |
 |
| Looking down the road to our new location. Across from us were many children as well as in back of us. |
Ben will be out today for our 4th picnic. Neighbors are all packing up and leaving today. Tomorrow will be laundry and pack-up day for us too. And then Thursday we will move on to the ABC garage for some work on the motorhome. Not sure how long it will take them, or what needs done. We could be at Ben's for overnight, or even on a trip to Ohio if they will need it for a couple weeks. Time will tell.
Have a wonderful summer!!
