Well it has been a looooong winter! The triple whammy we thought we gave the mice was a major sham! The mice took over in November and December, pooped on the Irish Spring and set up camp… so we set some traps, caught a few mice and switched gears on them. The new and improved triple whammy is essential oil spray on the tires, moth ball mesh bags on the top of the tires (in case they didn’t get the message with the first layer of defense) then “Fresh Cab” cedar/essential oil sachets for EVERY drawer and open space in the main cabin. THIS triple whammy worked! The mice moved out and never came back – Hallelujah! Mouse free since January 🙂
Our first trip this year was to the NJ shore line in May 2019. We stayed at Cedar Creek Campgrounds in Bayville, NJ and had a new passenger with us!
Roadie made his first trip in the RV. He is a good traveler, looking out the window much of the trip. If he would only stop barking at everything that moves, he would be a perfect companion… he is smart so we think we can break him of the whole excessive barking thing. In the meantime, his nick name is “Sir Barks-a-lot”
We drove to Island Beach State Park for the day and Roadie loved the beach, didn’t like the taste of salt water, and is a good hiker in the sand as long as we are by ourselves!
I surprised myself and was able to walk through the soft sand, through the dunes and to the ocean (after double knee replacement in January). It was a test run and I passed!
True to last year’s camping, it rained but stopped long enough to soak up some sunshine Saturday afternoon and have an awesome campfire Saturday night, serenaded by the famous Ukulele player, Paul Dimmler!
All in all, a good weekend to reconnect and not make any decisions other than “where should I put my chair” and “do you want another drink?”
JUNE 2019 – Creation Festival
June 2019 we went to Creation Festival and were joined by 80 people associated with our church, Covenant Doylestown. Thanks to the awesome organization skills of Scott and Sandy Wetherbee, our camp includes enough food, heated showers and most importantly shade in these hot, hot summer days.
Sounds like a great start to this RV season!💕
