Never Again!!!

Thank you all for the good wishes regarding my kid Cooper.  He's such a sweetie ... but if he gets sick, you can be assured he thinks he's going to die.  After yesterday morning, he probably hoped he would.  After racking my brain to figure out what happened, the light bulb went on.  

I had opened a can of Costco cooked chicken to make a sandwich for me.  It's chicken, right?  He eats that every day.  I gave him maybe 1-1/2 teaspoons along with his regular dinner.  NEVER AGAIN!!  I'm sure that's what made him so sick.  I ate the same thing with no ill effects, but something in there didn't work for him.

This morning he's back to normal, playing hide the ball in the blanket and barking when he can't find it.  YAY!!

This was the very last of the sunrise pictures from yesterday.  It was probably the longest lasting one I've ever seen.  With not much else going on here at the moment, it's nice to have pictures for the blog.

In relating the story of trying to back up into the Yuma parking spot to Patsy and Bill, I mentioned the emergency brake cord getting pulled out.  Oh my ... Bill came over with a big box of stuff and a handy dandy drill.  In no time my cable was attached along the side of the hitch to keep that from happening again.  Rv friends are so amazing and helpful ... they pass on all their tips and tricks.

It was overcast, cold and windy all day, so basically we stayed inside.  In the afternoon, we walked over to two rigs, just down the road a ways to say hello.  I'll let you read that story on Patsy's blog.  It's a small world!!

On the way back, I picked up these two rocks laying by my rig.  They fascinate me for some reason, which is probably why I had an entire drawer full of rocks in the other rig.  Apparently I'm starting a new drawer.

In the interest of not being wasteful, I decided to finally cook up that hamburger and make spaghetti.  How hard could that be?  I cooked the meat and onions first, tossed in a healthy amount of garlic and the entire jar of sauce.  Although my pot is rather small, I got the spaghetti in it with no problem.

Let me just say .... NEVER AGAIN.  I will not make spaghetti again in this rig.  As I was trying to pour the sauce over the cooked noodles, oh so carefully, a big chunk of something hit my foot.  I froze!!  It was suddenly all over the stove and down the front of the cabinets.  

RATS!!  And on my new rug!!  I put everything down and began the cleanup.  But wait ... where did that big hunk of something go???  I couldn't find it on the floor or the rug.  Too bad I took three steps back because it was stuck on the bottom of my shoe, making lovely greasy red spots all over the rug AND the floor.  What a mess!!!  I peeled it off my shoe and proceeded to clean up.

By then, dinner was a little cold around the edges, but actually quite tasty.  Now I have lunch and dinner for about four days.  Those greasy spots even blend in to the brown in the carpet pretty well.  

And so another day ended with my generator humming as I watched not one, but TWO football games.  I might add that I've started the genny with one pull almost every time!  I'm getting the hang of it!  

Apparently it's the year of the underdogs ... the Bengals winning their first playoff game ... or at least I think that's what they said!!  

Today you'll find me watching the 49'ers and the Cowboys.  It should be an exciting game!
