        Again a much cooler night only 39f this morning. But the sun came out and the day ended up pretty nice after all by 9 am.  After a few wonderful walkabouts the park.
       We had bought a roast beef a while ago and put it in the freezer, (Suzie was craving a roast beef) thawed it out in the fridge overnight and was gonna put in our slow cooker today. Once thawed I really did not like the smell of it, (not good) so regrettably we threw it in the trash and went to plan B. We had a "Beef in a jar" that we had done back in 2010 was stored under our bed. Checked it out and was good so into our ancient slow cooker with some celery carrots, onions, garlic and a sweet potato for the day on low.
       Just ran a few errands today and some more walkabouts when taking a break from reading. Nice light lunch, and got to enjoy some wonderful reading time in the shade.
        About mid afternoon we were surprised by a blog follower stopping by. We had conversed by e-mail a few times about them going full time. They finally made the leap, house sold, rv purchased and they will soon be full time rvers'. They are looking at a park to call home and are checking out a few, this one is on the list. They stopped, chatted and picked our brains for ideas. I am sure we overloaded them with info that needs to filter down.  So nice to finally meet them such a super couple. I am sure that we will and hope we do meet them on down the road.

      Shortly after they left it was time for "Happy hour" at Norm and Pat's across from us, and we can't not go there for an hour, tell shorties and chat with a few other happy campers here.
we having fun
it still does a great job
      Added a salad and some cantaloupe and we good to go.
pretty well a beef stew but was so tasty
leftovers again is good
     We have a good friend that we met last January in Quartzsite at Bloggerfest. Single woman taking a year to explore the USA in her RV. Originally from New York city. We had fun with her in Quartzsite and then we all moved on. Now she is back to NYC and settled in and has a nice class C that she wants to sell, why? Cause she did what she wanted to do and where do you store an RV in NYC? When you don't know if and when  you will use it again. A very nice Class C that treated her well in her travels. a perfect unit for the right person and priced right.

      Now relaxing outside reading and enjoying some cooler weather. After another fun day here.  And just watching people pull in for the weekend is entertaining as well. At 8 pm fingers getting cold unless we put gloves on (not) so time to head inside for the night.
      Thanks for stopping by, hope you had a good day as well.

    1. They did this on the farm a lot many years ago and is great for us in the RV with limited refrigerator space.
      Beef in a jar is beef trimmed and canned in canning jars same as we did farmers sausage and you can do fruits and jams. A great way to preserve foods for long storage periods without the need for refrigeration.

  2. My mother canned beef in the early 1940's. Refrigeration was still a luxury and home freezers were unheard of. I didn't know anyone did that these days. I like that park... is it dedicated to Fire Fighters? (a statue looks like a firefighter carrying a child)

    1. Canning meat is still alive and convenient at times.
      I think it is a firefighter camped near that site. It is a nice park.

  3. My motto is "when in doubt, throw it out" and I would have done the same with the bad smelling beef. I'm not sure I would be comfortable with beef in a jar if it was canned in 2010. However, I'm sure that many of the canned goods we buy are probably that old too. I just don't know about itt

    1. I always smell the meat first thing and know the same , when in doubt throw it out.
      The beef in a jar we did it ourselves and was still sealed good and the family has done it for years no problem.
