Monday October 7, Brad called a dentist first thing in the morning, he has a sore tooth that needed looked at, then a few more phone calls made, and plans to visit Tom and Bev. Oops a change, the dentist can see Brad, so off he goes to the dentist, while Rudy and I hang out at home. While he is gone I get in touch with Shane and plan on heading over to see the fainting goats, but when Brad got home he decided to go along, the goats are cute, but no fainting. After that we head to the VFW for a quick dinner with Shane, then he heads home to get ready for a hockey game and we head home to relax.
Tuesday my Dad was having a heart catheterization done and a few other things done, so Chris picked me up and we headed to the hospital. We spent the day there and Brad got to have a fun day by himself. OK, not so fun, shopping at Lowe's, Wal-Mart and a couple of other places. I think spending the day in the hospital was probable a little better. I saw dad, Karen, Deb, Chris, Thom, Meghan, Grady, Keisha and Kaydence, a nice visit with all. Dad got to go home, but poor Karen had to wait until about 8:30 until he got discharged. Brad met Chris and I in Dillsburg and was so happy to see me, he was afraid he was going to have to do the dishes himself. :-) Back home, dishes done and off to bed with us.
Wednesday we did some more address changes and then headed into Jen and Greg's for lunch. We had a nice visit and were actually there for about 3 hours, nice lunch and a nice visit with them and Aunt Ada. After that we headed home, supposed to head into Mel's for a visit, but I was still exhausted and didn't really have the energy to visit again today, so we begged out. We headed into town for a quick bite, then back home and once again I beat Brad to bed. .
Thursday we hung out at home for the morning, then headed over to Tom and Bev's for a visit. It was good to see them, Tom looks good and all were in good spirits and I think enjoyed the visit as well. We then headed home to tend to Rudy and within the hour Shane called and was ready to meet for dinner, or rather actually have us pick him up (I guess he's trying to save gas)! Back home tend to Rudy and this time Brad beat me to bed.
Friday we get up to a very wet CG and rising water. Brad headed out to put gas in the car and see how the roads are, after he gets back I head out to the grocery store, ugh. The roads are covered with water, a crawl most of the way, but I made it. Going home was even worse, a warning light came on in the car, had to do with extra passive restraints, I stopped at a church to check it out, but decided to head home, no use sitting there reading the manual. I get home and the CG water has risen to the point that the first and second road of RV's are pulling out (we are on row three). We do a lot of walking, out to check out the other campground, where they were doing boat rescues, making us a little more nervous. We get back about 1/2 hour later and the water had risen about a foot.....not good for us. We pick points across the road from us and decided if the water gest up that far, we are pulling out for higher ground, but the rain is finally starting to let up a little bit. At ground level it is only about a foot from our selected point, so everything outside get's put away, awnings in and the watch begins. The biggest problem is, there is no place to go, all the roads out of here are closed, so it's just up to the highest point possible in the CG, along with everybody else trying to get there. Well here it is, most things backed, Brad is resting and I am listening to the rain. The Creek has dropped about 1 foot, but at 11:00 pm the rain is coming down pretty good again. I am keeping track of the water level until about 1:00, then it will be Brads turn, what a nervy day. I didn't get over to see dad, had to cancel dinner with Lynne and Rick, and can't even escape the CG if the water does come up. Oh well, at least we are safe so far. I went to bed last night and the water level had dropped from 16.64 feet to 16.32 feet, but is dropping steadily. This morning at 7:00 am it is down to 13.30 feet, the displaced campers are moving back into their sites and from where we are, there is no water in sight. Now to finish packing and heading on our next adventure.
