We prefer to stop at travel centers such as Love’s, etc. when we are on the road. Naturally, the signs for “Mom approved restrooms” at the Sapp Bros. travel center in Wyoming caught our attention and the reality did not disappoint. Around here, folks make a big deal about Buc-ees; in my opinion, Buc-ees doesn’t hold a candle to Sapp Bros.
For the first time, Kenn planted a small garden this year. Some things didn’t do very well, but we did get a few bell peppers and the tomatoes are still coming in. However, we’ve learned the hard way that we can’t leave tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter to finish ripening. Nyx, our black cat, has a weird obsession with them. Any tomato left unguarded will, at the very least, develop teeth marks – if it doesn’t completely disappear.
Earlier this week I showered while Kenn cooked supper. When I came downstairs to set the table, etc. he told me that he’d brought in three tomatoes. He turned his back for a minute and all three were gone. He managed to find two of them (one was in the garbage disposal) but one was still missing in action. I didn’t find the third one until I went downstairs to play video games. The remains of the third tomato were at the base of the stairs.
Our cats definitely keep life interesting, LOL!
When Cricket was a kitten we had to hide the toilet paper in all bathrooms because any roll left out would get shredded within an inch of its life. She eventually outgrew that particular obsession, but even now, as a senior kitty, occasionally the old urges return. Here, she is sleeping the sleep of the righteous after destroying the paper that was in the box with my new work boots.
My closet rod has seen some things, y’all.
Old man Dez is decked out in rainbows. I think he wears them well.
We recently stopped at a newer Love’s truck stop where they had a Pet Wash. I thought it was hysterical – and the fire hydrant in the front made it even funnier. (Side note: they also had a special gated area where RVers could park over night. We’ll be looking into this as an option on our travels.)
Would you use a Pet Wash for your pet?
Over the years, hotels have decided that everyone needs three or four pillows each. We usually carry our own pillows when we travel so we move the extras elsewhere. During our stay in Wall, South Dakota our room had two queen-sized beds so one bed became the repository for excess pillows. During the night I moved to the extra bed in a desperate attempt to get away from Kenn’s snoring. However, that meant that I had to move the mountain of pillows before I could attempt to sleep. Kenn laughed the next morning when he couldn’t even see me over the wall o’ pillows.
The KOA Holiday we stayed at in Manchester, TN had lots of cute/interesting “statues” scattered in and near the woods lining the walking trail. I almost missed these brightly colored ants. Always remember to look up!
Why relax in the seat of the chair when you can balance precariously on the back?🤦♀️
