Another day in Roscommon but it is a sunny day at that. I must say that sleeping in the motor home is not so bad. Yes, I have been spoiled all these years. Stretching is a must after sleeping in those small beds. I just figure as long as I am not sleeping on the ground then all is fine. You just have to figure out what works for you and go with it. Just go with the flow. All is good as long as I am alive and virtually kicking everyday.
Patty makes her coffee weak as she drinks it all day long. I was so glad to be the first one up so that I could make at least the first pot of coffee. This means that 8:00 a.m. found me up and scoping out the kitchen to try to find the coffee and the filters. It took me awhile as I had to go through most of the cupboards. Would you think of looking for filters hanging on the wall? I did not at all. Kelly finally wandered in and then Patty awoke awhile later.
By 10:00 a.m., Kelly and I were on the road back home. As we were starving, we stopped back at Fred's for their breakfast. Okay, I must say that I had one of the best omelets ever - at least one pound of shaved ham, tomatoes and provolone cheese plus hash browns and rye toast. Yummy! We were back on the road around 11:00 a.m. but I soon found out that we had an extra traveler with us. Who was the extra traveler? Well, it was a hitchhiker but not your ordinary hitchhiker. A grasshopper decided to appear on my inside passenger's window. I made Kelly stopped so that I could open the door so that the grasshopper fly on its way.
Our car was filled with rock and roll music all the way home. We were singing and chatting all the way back. There was also construction on the interstate on the way back. People from Michigan say that they have two seasons: the Winter season and the Orange barrel season. Oh, I would say that Maine does have an Orange barrel season too with all the construction going on every summer and into the fall.
Around 1:00 p.m., we arrived back home to find Hugh lounging on the porch with Sunny at his feet. After unpacking and throwing the frisbee to Sunny, we got ready to head to our next adventure.
Hugh, Kelly and I were on the road again around 4:00 p.m. Our first stop? Richfield Bowling! Hugh and Kelly are on a bowling league but I wanted to give bowling a try. I can laugh at myself. So I thought "Why not!" I will say it was amusing to say the least. This bowling alley has only the big balls and no candlepins at all. I had to pick an 8 pound ball as the next one up was too heavy for me to handle. Now the holes were not big enough for my fingers, but I made it work. I started out with a few gutter balls here and there but eventually was able to get a few strikes and a lot more spares. I was so excited to do better than expected. I did not slip and fall as I had on my rented bowling shoes! We bumped fists and slapped hands after each others turn. Now this game you only have two shots at knocking down the pins and not three that I remember. My scores went from 75 to 109 to 122 to 127 in the end. Anyway, out of the four games that we played, I did best on the last one as I gave Hugh and Kelly a run for their money. They were actually worried. Nothing to fear, they were soon ahead of me by the end of the game.
After two hours of play, we headed toward Lucky's in Davison for dinner. Hugh and Kelly come here to dinner a great deal. It sounds like it is always busy. Hugh has a tradition that people bet a $1.00 to guess what color gum ball would come out of the huge gum ball machine. I picked green as it is my favorite color. Kelly picked pink and Huge picked red. Well, red was the ultimate winner so Kelly and I lost. However, we got two gum balls - one white and one red. We sat in the bar area and ordered fabulous meals. I understand that they are known for their steaks and prime ribs. There was so much food that we just had to come home to take a break to relax around 9:00 p.m. and so that Hugh could finish watching the Detroit Tigers. Oh, I must not forget that I had a gum ball for dessert. Well, not actually dessert, but an after dinner choice.
I am calling it a night on here soon. I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend. Peace out!
