Calmer and Closer to Home

Stony Ridge KOA, Perrysburg, OH

On Thursday, April 4th we woke up after 7. Not surprising after our late night or early morning.  😁We felt gratitude this morning, blessed that we were safe and thankful for the prayers. 

This was last night

Because yesterday was such a long day, we were able to take it slow this morning.  We only have a 2 hour drive today and it isn't an early check in at our next park. It is a sunny morning and 54F/11C. 

Good morning!
what a lovely change!
This is a nice Walmart to stay at,
there were only 3 of us and no semis.

We had our breakfast and Bill walked out to check out our departure lanes. Walmarts can be tricky to get in and out of. This one was easy and after I finished posting yesterday's blog, we pulled out. I knew some friends, not on Facebook where Bill posted an update, would be concerned. It was a few minutes before 9.

Lots of water laying in the fields
and ditches were full.

We got back on I-69E to I-469 taking us to US24E. Now this is a nice highway! I didn't bother giving Gibbs his pills or putting his thunder coat on and he settled down pretty well, early. Still a tongue hanging out but happy. 🐶❤️

Some of our route

We crossed into Ohio at 10:30 and joined I-475S/US73. Exit 1B into I-75N towards Toledo. Another exit 193 at Perrysburg onto 20E.  Because we were a bit early, we stopped at a mall lot to wait.

We stopped at Hobby Lobby passing 
30 minutes until we could check in at noon.

I popped into Hobby Lobby for a nature call and poke around. I found some paper background sheets for shadow boxes and we headed down to Luckey Rd. Stony Ridge KOA had us booked for 3 nights but plans changed and we canceled one night upon arrival at 12:15.

Someone is happy for the short day,
I think.
Oh and new smells again!

Many sites are water covered because of last nights rains and with more expected tomorrow, we asked for a different spot. The manager and host were very obliging and moved us to a pull-through site and even though there was an additional fee for this spot, we were happy to pay it. It was completely dry and very long. 😊

Supper was good.
I forgot I had squash in the fridge.

Once set up on Site #603, we proceeded to crash. Well, not exactly. Bill and Gibbs snoozed, noises ensued, and I read my next Stephanie Plum mystery. Then, I tried to snooze myself upstairs but I wasn't as tired as I thought. I did get a nice rest though, with Gibbs stretched out beside me. We watched a movie just for the enjoyment of it, one we've seen before but like. It's called Letters to Juliet and was a cute little love story with Amanda Seyfried.

A couple of park signs.
Love the "Whoa!"
but it needs punctuation. 😉

For supper, we had fish with fries for Bill and a vegetable for me. Strawberries for dessert and then we loaded the dishwasher.  It was very good and then Gibbs and I took a walk around the park. It is a lovely evening with barely any wind. There are a lot of puddles in the whole area but Gibbs managed to avoid them (almost!) like a pro. 💕 

Our site is a nice big one.

Back home, I finished my blog while watching 9-1-1, Elspeth and Matlock all at their normal times. We reached a pleasant high of 65F/18C.

It's a nice little KOA park.

This has been a good day. A wonderful day, with nothing to worry about for the moment. 😁

Spring in Ohio
Good night!

Thank you for your visit.
