I'd rather be camping

For the last week, I've either been picking veggies or preserving them in some way. Sammy and I went over outside of Marietta and picked about 5 or 6 bushels of tomatoes one day. Boy, you wouldn't think you'd get that hot just reaching out and grabbing tomatoes, but we sure did. My Dad had asked me to get him one bushel each of green and ripe tomatoes. So, two bushels were taken to him, in Grantsville, then I canned and froze the rest of them.

Then, we also had been given some green beans, so we had to clean and can them. When you have to look over every single one, it takes some time. Because of my back trouble, I had to go sit down every once in a while, too. Especially with the beans. I think because I had to stand in a different position, so it was harder on me. But I'm ok.

I tell you what, though, after all that, I'd rather be doing something else that is relaxing! LOL Camping for example. It's been several years since we took a vacation. We were hoping to this year, but it just didn't work out. Things are tight everywhere. But I can still dream, can't I?

So, after I won the (imaginary) lottery, I'd go buy me a really nice RV. head over to www.goodsamesp.com, and then get out on the road! First, I'd head to Florida and spend about a week at the beach. Play in the ocean by day, and sit by the campfire by night. Consume a few lobsters, collect a few shells, and get a great tan! LOL

Then, I think I'd travel westward, by way of the Southern states. I've never been farther west than Ohio, so it would be quite an adventure to see so much of the US! Of course, we'd have to stop in Texas to see the Alamo. Cause my hubby is a history buff. :-) Then on to California! Cause, you never know, the beaches there might be different than in Florida. LOL



On the way back home, I'd like to see the giant Redwoods trees, Mount Rushmore, and the Grand Canyon! Of course, I'm sure there would be lots of little stops to see the not so well advertised local attractions all over the US!

Yep, that's what I'd rather be doing!
