Cabela’s Then Downtown

Cloudy skies this morning, a switch from our recent sunny weather but still warm.  We took a walk then began getting the motorhome ready for departure.  Michael finished wiring the Jeep lighting and was successful.  I loaded some food items and a few clean clothes and we were off. 

The hospital security office at St. Vincent’s had told me that it was best to try and enter the parking lot where RV’s were allowed after 5pm—it would be less crowded and we would stand a better chance of scoring a parking space next to one of the electric hookups.  So, we drove to Cabela’s where they have excellent RV parking, unhooked the Jeep and went to get my hair cut along with a couple other errands.  About 6pm we drove downtown to find the hospital parking lot mostly empty—allowing us to park with ease right next to the electric meter.  After parking we took Emmi for a nice long walk around the neighborhood.  I cooked up the spaghetti sauce I had made at home and we enjoyed a delicious supper. 

I had a comment last night from “mhiemer”—she was commenting on Ivan Doig’s book, Bucking the Sun, about the building of the Fort Peck Dam which we recently visited.  It made me want to re-read the book which I probably read when I first married Michael 16 years ago.  Went downstairs and found my copy and was quickly hooked—thanks “mhiemer.”

Tomorrow we see the first doctor at 1:45pm—may things go well for Michael. 

Here we are in the parking lot at the hospital.  That pole in the center of the photo has a big huge night light on top—sure wish there was an on/off switch for that light—it shines right down through our bathroom skylight!
