SO LONG CENTERVILLE, IT'S BEEN GOOD TO KNOW YA!

When you are in a place that holds your interest and the campground is not crowded, time passes so quickly.  

I took my last sunset walk and finally had my camera with me. Note how crowded this campground is! 



Except for last Friday and Saturday nights when two other families were camping across the way, this is how the campground has been.  Sheer heaven! 

This is tonight's sky!  The most beautiful photo of the lake I have taken.





And this is how we have seen the sun set each evening.  I think without the trees, we would have had some spectacular ones.  But, that's okay, I like the trees.  

Oliver and Olivia have had fun chasing the squirrels.  All we need to say is squirrel alert and they come to attention then run from one window to the other.  If we are outside and they see one, they instantly become deaf to my call.  Just like little kids.

Tomorrow, we head sixty-eight miles northwest to Des Moines.  I need to visit the Verizon store and John, of course, wants to stop at Bass Pro Shop.  

After those two stops we head to Saylor Lake COE, north of Des Moines and on our way to the big city of Monteith, Iowa. Stay tuned, folks.  There is more to come.  

My Amazon shopping link is lost in cyberland.  I have worked all day trying to reestablish the link for your convenience. Maybe I can discover the problem tomorrow.  

In the meantime....travel safely and God bless.....

  1. Your campground sounds and looks absolutely heavenly. Safe travels as you move on. I can totally sympathize with blog poblems, I am pretty sick of mine.

  2. We love the empty campgrounds too. With summer coming to an end, there's going to be more and more of those too.

  3. I envy you. This campground is packed and I know that you won't be able to walk outside and breathe from all the campfire smoke.

  5. Some of my favorite sunsets are through the trees :-). Great pic over the water. I'm surprised by how "un-impressed" Tessa is by all our squirrels. She does however become nearly deaf when another dog is walking past our yard (obviously they would want to meet her!). Love the big empty campground - hope there are more of those in your travels west!

  6. Beautiful picture of the lake and a great campground. So glad you and John are back to the good life. I'm disappointed that your Amazon link isn't working. I'll check back.
