The Fridges of Madison County

8/17/2013

Okay, I admit, pretty weak, but it is a literary allusion that is appropriate for our location. The missing pillow turned up while I was cleaning the camper and meal planning seemed to come together pretty well in between several meetings this week.  Still, as we pulled out yesterday, I had that nagging feeling I was forgetting something important. By the time we stopped for lunch, I knew. All of the breakfast makings and the lunch makings. I was concentrating so much on our suppers that the eggs, bacon, lunch meat, etc. are all still in the refrigerator at home. Of course, all items are easily replaceable from the nearest grocery store fridges, but meanwhile good food sits at home getting older. Sigh.

This is our second visit to Pammel Park. It has the unusual status of being a state park that is administered by Madison County. The campground is great and the sites are nice and level. Hosts Laura and Larry have become friends since our visit last year. Along with Conny and Jeff, the other hosts, they alternate months keeping this place looking spiffy. Last night the temperature dropped just enough by supper time to make the soup I fixed hit the spot.

We are near Winterset and will probably check out local sites today as well as possibly another attempt to find some of the famed covered bridges. Last year, in early spring, flooding had caused enough closed roads to convince us to give up after driving many miles one afternoon. So we will be looking for bridges and fridges.

Cereal and toast for breakfast this morning, a little exploring, plus some nap scheduling.
