Halloween 2012

This year, Hurricane Sandy rained out trick or treat at the campground, but the church we go to, Wrightsboro First United Methodist has a "Trick or Trunk" in the parking lot. We decided to go. Packed up the candy in Nikki's car and setup in the parking lot. We were underdressed for the occasion!  Had a lot of fun and there were lots of kids.

It was cold, 55 degree's! Not as fancy as everyone else.

See Ya - Sandy

Fortunately, Sandy stayed about 300+ miles off the coast and did not have a significant impact on southern North Carolina.  It started raining Friday night and rained very heavy through Sunday morning. Winds stayed around 30-35 mph with gusts to 60 but nothing really that bad. The area had 3 to 8 inches of rain depending on where you were. We were around 4 inches.

NC was spared, unlike the looks of Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Hope everyone we know in those states makes it through ok!!!

Reading Electric Meters - 101

We have a digital meter at the campsite. It looks similar to your car with black numbers and then one gray number on the end. When we got here I thought it was 7.3 hours. WRONG..... that is 73 hours. Today it read 70.3 which is 703 hours. So we used 630 hours or $69.30. Still well within what I budgeted. We are averaging about 20.3 hours per day with a lot of A/C useage. I expect it will decrease now as we don't really need the A/C much during the day. It is stayng around 75-80 and 55-65 at night.

This reads 705 hours NO decimals
 

One year on the road!!!!

Tomorrow will be one year since we've been on the road!
Its gone by so fast.

Today we had our Sunday morning pancakes, sausage and ate outside in the screen house. It was a beautiful day today, 82 degree's and blue skies. Almost identical to last year at this time.

We had Nikki and her friend Stephanie over for breakfast. We went to get pumpkins and did a little carving today too.

Stephanie hard at work

So this was a bit strange. All the seeds in the "ghost" pumpkin were growing inside the pumpkin!

Go STATE!

The Thinker 

So plans for 2013......
