Wednesday-August 2-Day 43-At the Campbells


We went to sleep last night, not to the sounds of trains or traffic,
 but the comforting night sounds of singing cicadas!  
Along with a gentle breeze coming in the windows, it was easy to fall asleep!
This morning Anna served breakfast on the porch....
pancakes with fresh peaches and peach sauce, and coffee, of coarse!
 What a way to start the day!
We rode along with Anna on a Walmart run. 
This pic gives you an idea of the hilly  roads in this area of Missouri.





John took Steve on the Polaris Ranger  for a tour of the 1000 acres that they farm.

I was in the RV  blogging, when it started to rain!  It poured!

And poured some more!  I was glad to get some dirt washed off the RV, and the Campbells were so thankful for the rain to water the crops.  It had been dry.

But the rain caught John and Steve several miles from the farm, 
so they were soaked to the gills when they got back!
Wish I had thought to get a picture!
For dinner tonight we had deep-fried pork chops, made by John and Anna's son Bradley. And they were GOOOOOD! (he enjoys cooking and does an excellant job at it!!)
Served with sauteed zuchinni, cucumber salad, and roasted potatoes, as well as fresh watermelon and canteloupe from the garden.  We are eating very well!

Steve and son Jeff were "chewing the fat" after supper.
Bradley and Jeff each have their own places, but frequently come home for supper. 

We relaxed this evening by watching some shows on the cooking channel.

  1. What a lovely home! Dinner sounds like it was beyond delicious! Much needed rain and warm friendships. Glad to know you had a lovely visit and respite from the road.

  2. 1000 acres! That is a big farm! The hilly road looked like it was right here in central PA! And that supper! Except for the pork chops it sounded like the entire meal was fresh from the garden!
