Taking care of business

Tuesday, Oct 11

And that business was chores.  I spent the morning hours doing the laundry.  I haven't done it in over a week as I was waiting until we got here.  The military bases are usually cheaper places to do laundry than public campgrounds.  It would have been over $3 a load at the KOA in PA and it is $2 a load here.  Over time that price difference can add up.  They only had 3 washers and dryers and I had 5 loads so it took awhile.  The entire time I was at the laundry room it was lightly raining.  That is what the weather is suppose to be for the next couple of days. 

When I finally finished the laundry we headed over to the PX and commissary.  My goodness they have a fancy PX.  It is a two story building and really, really nice.  It is one of the biggest PX's I have been in and this is a small base.  I would have thought Norfolk Naval Base would have been the biggest.  I did my grocery shopping but by the time we got half way through I was really tired.  I got most everything I needed.  After we got back to the rig we found out that the price of peanut butter is going up.  Maybe I should have bought 2 or 3 jars. 

I have been working on some genealogy stuff the last couple of days.  I got some info from Bill's sister, Sue, about their grandmother that helped.  I was surprised at how much info the baptismal certificate she found had on it.  When I get back to CA I will spend some time with my Mom and maybe get further.  Sue said she would be willing to do some footwork in York if I give her the info.  Maybe we can solve the family
mystery. 

By the time I got all the laundry and food put away it was too late to go out exploring and I was too tired.  That was the end of our day.  We even had a simple dinner of frozen chicken pot pies. 

That is all for today.
