Another Day

September 10, 2009
We're back at the library--plugged in and online. One more night at the campground and then we will be elsewhere while we see whether it rains. It was cold last night! And being by the lake, damp, too. I think we are going to try to find a place where we can get some kind of weekly rate. It is getting increasingly tiresome to be moving every couple of days. We end up packing the truck, then going somewhere and unpacking, setting up the campsite or taking it apart. It eats up a good part of the energy I have for the day and we need to be doing other stuff. And besides, we are not sure how long the weather will hold out. As Bill pointed out this morning, if our stuff gets wet, it will take a long time to dry because the sunny and hot days that would take care of it are probably behind us. And I don't need a bunch of stuff ruined by mildew. But we will see what will happen. Everything will work itself out.
We ended up not going to look at that apartment after all yesterday afternoon because the person left us a message saying it was only for 1 person. Guess that wasn't the place for us. We've found one that sounds better in many ways and have contacted the person to try and look at it. We await her reply.
Heard from a guy at the Parks and Recreation Department. I had contacted him about possibly doing a class there. He sent me the proposal paperwork. It was good to get a reply!
Yesterday afternoon we drove up to St Albans to check it out. There is an available apartment there. We wanted to see how feasible it would be to live there. It's a nice little town—we stopped and had our picnic lunch in the park—but we both felt that it wasn't going to work for us. It's 30 miles from Burlington and we do not want to have to make that trip on a regular basis. So we would have to plan to spend most of our time in St Albans itself and there just didn't seem to be enough there for that to work out well. Today we will check out some other places around here so that we get some idea of where to look for an apartment and where not to look.
After we were done with all we had to do yesterday, we went back to the campsite and I made some coffee. Then we went to the beach. It was a beautiful day—not at all hot. I brought some crocheting and sat there working on a big lace shawl. It was wonderful!
Today it's supposed to be in the high 60s-low 70s. Should be another great day!
