Stamp & Camp with Mary Weekly catch up


July 29, 2019  Monday Sleepy Hollow State Park MI

Well this is a sort of lady back day sort of. Meigan is working, Kayla is on her way home.

I know what my mother felt like when I traveled.  It is like holding your breath for the entire day.  I am sorry mom when I didn’t call the second I got in,  I am sorry when I laughed at you because I knew how to drive and could do it with no problem, I am sorry I felt invincible and you were just being a mom.

Went back to East Lansing after Meigan was done for the day.  Went to the new Target in downtown East Lansing and ate at No Thai, wasn’t the best place to eat but OK.  I don’t think we will be making that one of our go to places.

We looked at what we needed to do and got some boxes but really didn’t do much else.  Headed back to the camp.

Well today was the pack day.  Got into Meigan’s and started packing.  Trying to see what she wanted to take with her to Australia and leave in storage.  We decided to take her viola and coat and leave it in the condo.  We had to do a few errands but most of it was packing.  We did walk over to Dairy Store and had ice cream, such a great time.  Don did laundry and I had a quick nap. Going to be an early couple of mornings in the next few days.  Took a long walk around the campground. 

I really hope we are doing the right thing by buying the condo.  A lot of thinking going on.

Move day for Meigan.  Meigan was all prepared and we didn’t have to wait long.  The movers were 2 young guys and it took them about 15 minutes to load up.  We then went for lunch at Thai Princess now this will be our go to place.  Meigan is now with us in Patty and I am so thankful that we get to spend sometime with her.

Tomorrow will be a long stressful day.


August 1, 2019 Thursday Sleepy Hollow State Park MI

Well up early and go go go all day.

Meigan had a dentist appointment at 8 AM  just a cleaning but seemed like a good cleaning.  They suggested that she get a bite guard or splint for her teeth since she is still grinding them. 

Then we drove over to the condo and parked since the next stop will be Meigan’s haircut.  We walked around for awhile and then Don and I went over to open a checking account of course we didn’t have our Trust documents so no go. 
Then we went to look at couches and found a nice furniture store.  Found a nice sleeper sofa (I don’t like the color but oh well it is a brown)  Went to Chick Fil A and then back to more furniture. 

Went to do the final walk through and realized that the walls and baseboards were a light baby poop green and the carpet is a lighter green.  OK  we measured for the couch and it may just fit.  It really is smaller than I thought but I think it will be OK.  But green,  we have to redo the carpet and paint some more.  We really are low on funds and having to do all this may not be able to afford.  Oh well maybe we can do it ourselves or begin to like the green.

After the tour we did a few things and then headed to pay and get the keys.  It was really a stressful time but it did go really well and smoothly.  Andrea gave us a bottle of wine and two great glasses something for a night in our new place.

We went back and took another look at everything including the storage area. Still green.  Then we went off and bought us a sleeper sofa so we will have that delivered on Wednesday. 

Got back to the campground and I had to create something or I would go nuts.  Still not sure if this is what we should have done.  OH well leave it in God’s hands.

August 2, 2019 Friday, Sleepy Hollow state Park/ Heartland Woods RV Resort MI  Coast to Coast

Well really didn’t have to leave early as the Heartland Woods Resort was not that far. After winding through the back roads we finally got in and then realized that this weekend was a music fest at the campground.  Oh well.

This has nice big campsite only because you can not find the campsite  not very well laid out.  A lot of trees and a lot of permanent campers  some very bad looking.   People are OK  they said they had internet but after the first few minutes we did not get any signal and Verizon had 1 small bar and AT&T had 3 -4 so that is what we will be using. 





OK  this is one site.  313 and 314 only 3 feet in between the 2.  We found out that they just put up the numbers where they can and they don’t go by it.  No sewer hook up so will have to dump at least once. 

This is the Laundry room and one of the bathrooms showers.  I love how they decorated it.  No the greatest facility but will do.    They have a great playground and a pond and swimming pool.  We will see how the music is tonight and if it keeps us awake.

Well once again we went into the condo.  Went and bought some things for the condo like sheets, towels some cleaning supplies.  Had fun and ate at Panera.  We got to the condo and walked around found the garbage chute, etc.  Found out how to use the buzzer which wasn’t very good I could not hear Meigan at all.

Got back to the campground and the music fest was going on it sounded very good so listened to that for awhile. Some folks were up late like after midnight.
