After several weeks of go go go, we were looking forward to a relaxing week on the banks of the Ohio River. The Sandy Springs RV park was amazing. It's run by a very young couple. The husband is a lineman, working out of town. His mom recently moved to the park to help. The wife is a nursing student who is not afraid to get her hands dirty. She mows acres of grass with a small lawn mower, weeds acres by hand and even empties holding tanks.
The property sits right on the banks of the Ohio River and they have a boat launch and plenty of river bank fishing space. It is so peaceful there and 25 miles east or west to any town. The river is not very wide at this point and the banks along the other side are tree lined. There is a train track just beyond the tree line, and if we looked carefully, we could make out the train cars rumbling by several times a day. It is fun to watch the barges going back and forth all day long. They were empty going West and full going East. They were carrying coal for sure, but not sure what else they were transporting.
I had lots of time to work on art projects while in Sandy Springs and am especially jazzed that I got Nicolette's birthday book started and her birthday is not even until the end of October.
I was really happy that Ken finally had a chance to relax and get some fishing in.
A day trip West took us to some really old, run down towns. This was by far my choice for "most unusual" ~ Why in the world would this door be on the second floor???
Our day in Portsmouth was fun, and I wrote a separare blog entry about that. I realize that Ihave not figured out how to move entries around to put them in chronological order, so I should write them in the order that events take place. Also, just realized that my datesshow up as of the day they are posted, so I need to either put dates in the entry or write them closer to the time they occur. I will get this blog stuff down if it's the last thing I do.
Stay tuned for more living.
