Day 48

Next Stop Houghton Lake

Jun 23, 2013, 11:13 AM

Last night it rained pretty darn hard on and off for most of the evening. So we watched some TV and argued about who the actor was in a TV show we were watching. Now I'm going to put this out there to everyone. We were watching the TV show Zero Hour. I'd seen the first few episodes but for some reason, I don't know maybe it conflicted with something else, but I never watched it after that. So Anthony Edwards and another actor were on the screen. The second actor was considerably older and I've seen him in a hundred things but I don't know who he is and I can't think of what he's been in even though he's been in lots of things. You know what I mean? He's one of those talented bit actors that is never a main character but of course he's an important character to the story, then he can walk into another story and not be type casted by the previous story. Anyway, Steve says to me "who's that guy". Now of course nobody doesn't know Anthony Edwards, so of course I think he's talking about the older guy. I tell him I don't know who he is, I've seen him in so many things before but I don't know who he is. So that's where it started. He won't let it go. He keeps badgering me, "you know who he is, didn't he used to play a doctor?" We'll for the life of me I can't think of the doctor this OLDER guy used to play, but will Steve leave it alone, NO!!!!!! Will he try to look this up himself, he has an Ipad sitting on his lap just like I do, but sadly the answer to that is also NO!!!!!!!! Now he is making me crazy!!!!! Trust me when I tell you that's not a good thing. We are in very tight quarters living in an RV, we have been traveling for going on two months and he's going to make me CRAZY!!!! You are playing with fire man, playing with fire. I can't figure out who this guy is, I give up, I'm done, then he goes on about the doctor thing again and I realize he's talking about Anthony Edwards. WHAT A WHACKADOODLE!!!! He is bat crap crazy!!!!!! Who doesn't know Anthony Edwards? I am a saint for putting up with this man. Oh and then, there is always more, we are watching an old episode of Star Trek and I mention that after Star Trek you just never saw DeForest Kelley in much. Here we go again. Now he's trying to tell me DeForest Kelley was Armtimus Gordon in Wild Wld West. That was all I could take I went to bed.

Anyway enough about my crazy life with my crazy husband. This morning we are getting ready and Steve had taken the trash  to the dumpster and there were something's he'd forgotten to take. I was pretty much done with things inside so I took the last few items just so we were totally done, when I was (just saw a hot pepto bismo pink car go by -- what fun) walking to the dumpster I realized that all around were these little fuzzy things flying around. I mean everywhere. It was as if an entire field of dandy lions gone to seed had been blown at once. It was so charming. I have no idea what they were, but it was really kind of sweet. So we are again on the road and going to Houghton Lake. I am excited. We should be able to go to Mackinac Island and God only knows what all else. It is so exciting and new with all these places. I have traveled so little that it is just wonderful and I feel so lucky. I am going to be seeing the Great Lakes. That in itself is cool!!!! I could just bust with excitement, but Steve hates it when I do that, and there'd be a mess to clean up so. . .

I just told Steve I already have two large paragraphs for my blog today and of course I get a "WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING YET, WHAT THE HELL!!!!" God I love this man!!

We are driving along and there are so many wind turbines. It is a cool sight to see even if they really aren't moving very much. I can't imagine they are producing much electricity. They are so huge, I'm sure they cost so much to erect and just to make. The return on your investment must be going on 15 years or more. Our fiscally responsible government at work. After getting off the highway we were on a smaller road for 18 miles. Pretty much the entire distance it was just tree lined, there was the occasional house, but no major development. The trees were so beautiful, there were lots of birch trees. I just love birch trees. Hopefully I'll be able to get some nice photos. 

Settled For The Night

We got to the campground about 3:30 PM, we got set up and one of the first things was to get the TV channels in and figure out what channel the race was on. Poor Steve hasn't been able to watch the race forever. Since the race was only just getting started we made a quick trip to Walmart. We needed a few things. We got home Steve put the TV on outside and he started the grill. He made me a wonderful steak dinner. After dinner we made a plan for seeing some sights tomorrow. Have a good night every one!
