It was rather cool in here tonight when we got back from Fuddruckers after having one of those little third pound burgers.......... emmmm good..
The heater said 53 degrees when I started it and it has run for about and hour now and is up to 67... We could start the forced air furnace, but it makes so much noise and dims the lights and burns copious amounts of propane......
They said on TV that by morning we will see 36 degrees..... and that is rather cool for the motorhome... We've stayed in here in the 20s but that takes the forced air furnace and the space heaters...
As you may have guessed, we are not in Kansas any more, as we have headed North to Des Moines for the quilt show that Loyce wants to attend....
It was in the mid 60s when we left this morning, but we quickly left those comfortable climates behind as we headed up I 35... The same interstate I was on two weeks ago heading for a Romeo luncheon.. And I was quite warm..... But not today, as we fell into the 50s and then the 40s with rain...
We stopped at a truck stop in Bethany that has a Wendy's, and it rained so hard I had to wait in the motorhome for a while.. Then it began to sleet some pelting little white balls.... I ran for the restaurant...
After lunch and a fill up of diesel ($3.94), we drove on North to the state line where the clouds began to lessen.. And the temps came back into the 50s....
But the wind was still out of the Northwest and blowing the big slab sides of the rig, while I chased the coach all over the road.... Herding it along up the highway.....
So even though I set the rig up in sunshine, it was still rather cool here at the Timberline Campground West of West Des Moines.... We have stayed here so many times before, the lady at the desk, looked up at me and said I recognize you.... your one of our regulars....
But then I had to help her with my name, but I was in the data base on her computer, so checkin was rather quick.... As we talked about spending the winter in Arizona.... They spent last year in Mesa Spirit, where we stayed in 2009 and 2010...
After dinner tonight, I decided that my light jacket and sweat shirt just weren't up to the task, so I went over to Wal Mart and purchased a heavier coat for our stay here.... They are calling for near freezing before Sunday when we plan to leave heading back South....
But any night in the RV is a good night even if it is a tad cool.....

When I drove the bus I used to take a lot of Mo colleges up to the U of I in Mason City you could expect snow anytime in late October and I never was disapointed, seemed like every trip to Iowa included snow.Be safe out there. won't be long and you will be in warm Az. Sam & Donna....
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr! Cold ! Our weekend forecast here in Tennessee is 50% chance of rain both days, highs 58 - lows mid 30's.
ReplyDeleteI'm not looking forward to those kinds of temps.
ReplyDeleteyes the temps are even getting to me. I had on long pants, socks and shoes and a coat yesterday. What the Heck is up with that lol. Say hello to Loyce for me and have fun this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home to "Cyclone" Country. Or should I say "God's Country"? Wish I could go to the quilt show with Maisie.
ReplyDeletecici
Tell Loyce to enjoy the quilt show, I've heard it is a good one! Wish I was there!
ReplyDeleteSure hope you left lots of storage room in the MH for all the quilting material and supplies that Loyce will be sure to buy.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's getting pretty close to heading south time when you have to go out and buy a warmer jacket!
A TAD cool??? They're talking temps down to 82 next week and I'm already cold thinking about it.
