October 18, 2026: The Month of Camping-Trip 3

(Click for today's pictures) 

Last night when we went to bed, both dogs were in the bed, and there were no room for us at all. Seriously, my legs were hanging off the edge. It came down to a dog or two were leaving the bed or I was leaving the bed. Robby tried to get Bentley to leave, but she growled at him because she had no intentions of sleeping in the front of the camper all by herself. Finally, he was able to get her to leave, and we were able to stretch out just a bit.

We did sleep well but I was up a few times to go to the bathroom. I even text Anderson some in the middle of the night. When we woke up, it was pretty sad because we had to go ahead and get up to get ready to go home. l

Robby started working on everything outside the camper while I worked on things inside. We then took the dogs on a short walk right before I left. I had to stop at two Krogers on the way home plus I even stopped at Buccees. This all put me home about 30 minutes later than Robby.

When I drove up, Robby was already working hard unloading the camper while Campbell and Keaton were washing the white car. They were really working at it, so I whispered to them the obvious question, "are y'all in trouble?" They were not in the trouble but had asked to wash the car.

I quickly unloaded the van, and then I turned around the leave again. I picked up Sara and Amber, and we went to Tales of the Crypt at Mt. Holly Cemetery. Students from Parkview dressed up and told about the lives of some of the people at the cemetery-it was really well done, and we all enjoyed it. We did probably enjoy all of the visiting while in the line more though.

Once I came home, I worked on picking up the house. I had left the kitchen a mess so I put everything away and did my best to get ready for tomorrow. I did crash about 40 minutes before it was time to go to the Wilson's house and even squeezed in a little nap. 

Tony had made supper tonight so we enjoyed eating and visiting. We watched some football as we talked. We did go home a bit earlier than usual and caught up with the girls once we were home. Now, the living room is quiet, and I think that we are headed towards the bed.....but no dogs in my bed tonight.
