Excursion to Costco

Last night while we were all playing Hand and Foot (which Leslie and I won...), we decided that this was the day we would make the Costco trip we have been planning. We decided that if we would go late enough in the afternoon, Forry could count his Polish dog as supper.

Both the Hardts and Bill and Leslie are getting close to the end of their time here at Mouse Mountain. Leslie and Bill are planning to be workcampers at a park in Iowa and we want to make the sweep up to the Northeast that the early snow discouraged us from doing last fall. So both families were stocking up in preparation. Leslie and Bill are first going to Red Bay to have some shades installed on their RV Serenity. After being there last summer, they KNOW how little there is there in the way of grocery stores or entertainment.

Poor Sunny, the yellow jeep, was loaded to the gills. (It's a good thing he's not an airplane, we'd be way out of weight and balance!) Forry and Leslie in the back seat ended up holding quite a bit of stuff as well.

I really don't mind shopping, but I certainly dislike putting stuff away! We split a case of paper towels, but Leslie doesn't like Costco TP, so I had to find places to stash the whole case that I bought. Repackaging rib steaks to freeze went quickly enough. Fitting a gallon of orange juice into the already crowded refrigerator was almost the last straw... Bill brought over the butter that we had also decided to split and I just looked at him. But he was kind enough to find a place in the refrigerator to put it.
