July 2, 2013--Escapade in Gillette, Wyoming


Today was another busy day at the Escapade.  We both had places to be at 8:30.  I was taking another beading class.  In this class, we were making earrings using beads and porcupine quills.  It was a fairly simple project and one that I was able to finish in the class.

We had a pleasant surprise today.  One of Bill’s contacts on the Country Coach Forum, Gary Boone, came by to visit.  His wife,  Leeanne, was shopping so we didn’t get to meet her.  Their forum name is The BooneDockers.  Clever, eh?

Bill had another class this afternoon, so I did some errand type things like getting the mail.  Lori had sent some cookies for us and a clip for Wendy.  That’s kind of a hard thing to explain, but is for clipping a bag ot dog pooh to the leash so you have a hand free to wave to people.  At least I think that was how the story goes.

We rested when we got home.  I also worked on the herringbone bracelet from yesterday’s class.  I was able to finish it.  Yippy, Skippy!

We went to Wally and Judy’s motorhome for dinner.  He had made shrimp cocktails, a really good salad, and grilled Italian sausages.  We visited, ate, and visited some more before coming home at 8:30.  

Wally and Judy are an interesting couple.  He is half Sioux Indian and was raised on a reservation in South Dakota.  They were both driving trucks when they met and soon began driving as a team.  His trucker name was Half-breed.  I call him “chief.”  Not Chief Sitting Bull, but Chief Full of Bull.  He is like our friend, Dwight.  They can both tell some really tall tales.
