Kenwood RV Park "Ohio" summer get together

78º here in Dexter, Michigan at 11:45 am as I start this.  We arrived at Rebecca Sperry Zaharis's place about 11:20 am after coming from Harrison State Park near Fayette, Ohio where we stayed overnight.
The group at the "Ohio" Kenwood RV Gathering.  Left to right - Jerry Witt, Janine Houke, Don Unger, Jan Engle, Roger Houke, Lillian Witt, Jean and Ralph Snyder, Harold Williams, Dave Engle, Eigmie Williams, Anna Mae Thomas,
Marion Finken, Judy Comringer, Ardel Finken, Phyllis Miles, Lynn Miles, and Maxine Koch-

We drove north the 40 miles or so from Anna Mae Thomas's place and set up in the park and walked to the shelter about 11:30 in time for the sharing meal at noon.



Ralph Snyder, seated, is just over 100.5 years old, and  his wife, Jean, is 90 years old.


 After eating, and taking the group photo when Ralph and Jean Snyder left (he is only 100 years old and pretended to need to go home to take a nap - they live only 25 miles or so from the park) many of us sat around and visited.

Most left by about 4 pm and we went back and finished setting up our trailer next to Jerry and Lillian Witt's trailer.  They had arrived Tuesday afternoon.


Jerry & Lillian's trailer on the right and ours in the center.

Very good, clean showers in the park.

Shower house on the left and our rig on the right.
Judy Comringer and her sister Maxine Koch, who live fairly close to the park came back last evening with some fabric for Phyllis to take to Kenwood this fall.  They, Witts and us got to visit for some time before dark.  Got a pretty hard rain during the night, but have driven in none today, though see on the radar that rain is coming our way.  After we eat lunch and visit with Becca we have about 160 miles to go north to set up in driveway of Bill & Darlene Winslow tonight.  Will stay there until Monday or Tuesday.  Bill and Darlene are active with their county fair this week and we hope to see some of the fair activity Friday and their last day on Saturday.  When the Winslows can slow down and rest a bit we can visit with them this weekend.  We have stayed, with trailer, at their place four other years so know the routine -- even if they aren't home!

GROANERS CORNER:(( A Few Witticisms::
- I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.
- I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
- There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives.
- Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
- I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.
- My Reality Check bounced.
- On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
-I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.
- You're slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
- Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
- Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

An old guy was working out in the gym when he spotted a sweet young thing.  He asked the trainer that was near by, "What machine in here should I use to impress that sweet thing over there?"
The trainer looked him up and down and said, "I think you should try the ATM in the lobby."

The teacher was giving her class of seven-year-olds a nature history lesson. 'Worker ants,' she told them, 'can carry pieces of food five times their own weight. What do you conclude from that?' One child was ready with the answer, 'They don't have a union?'

Knock Knock
Who's there?
Rocky!
Rocky who?
Rocky bye baby in the tree top when the wind blows the cradle will rock.

More later, Lynn
