Once Again, Laundry!

Now that we were ensconced in a site with running water and electricity, it was time to catch up on all of the on-going chores that need to be done whether you are in a stix and brix house or an RV one. So today I did laundry, changed the sheets and washed the bathroom rugs. Forry vacuumed Auntie Violet and even cleaned the air filter on the Toad.

One of the characteristics of a SKP (Escapee) park is afternoon get-togethers. Every weekday afternoon at a park, most park residents meet in the clubhouse. One member acts as the MC and they follow a regular routine. First new arrivals are greeted, handed a microphone and asked to introduce themselves, give their SKP number, telling where they're from, how long they are staying and where they are going next. Second on the agenda is recognition of birthdays and anniversaries. Next there are announcements, then any jokes of the day, RV tips and a thought for the day before the group is dismissed. Sometimes there is quite a line-up for announcements, jokes and tips, other days there may be only one or two and the MC sort of fills in. It is sort of hokey, but it's part of what ties SKP communities together. You know that whatever SKP park you go to, there is this familiar routine.
