June 28, 2014 - Granville, OH

We got up this morning, had our coffee and Chai. George took Abby out for a long walk. Then we went to the Granville Farmers Market & Craft Fair in the middle of town. It runs every Saturday from 8:30 AM to 12 noon. It reminded me of the one in South Jersey that we like to go to - the Collingswood Farmers Market. We thought this one had very reasonable pricing. A huge loaf of Foccacia bread was only $4. I make homemade foccacia bread myself, and for all of the love and work that goes into it, frankly I wouldn't want to have to sell it for only $4. We bought the loaf of foccacia, 3 cucumbers, chicken maple apple sausages, a small cherry pie, small apple pie, a scone for MIL, and some Christmas presents which I won't mention. From there we put the perishable items into a cooler. George suggested we walk down and look at the shops since we had time to kill before we went to a cruise on Buckeye Lake at 2 PM. As we walked down the street there were a lot of tables outside for various restaurants with people dining. We decided to have breakfast, and George told me to select one, so the one I chose happened to be Mexican cuisine, which I didn't realize when I chose it. George and I both selected an Egg Quesadilla which consisted of scrambled eggs, onions, bell peppers and cheddar cheese between a folded flour tortilla, served with sour cream, lettuce, quacamole and Pico de Gallo. After we paid the waitress, she offered us our iced tea in To-Go cups. The breakfast was fabulous! Until, I began writing this blog entry, I didn't even know the name of the restaurant. It is DayyNoche, and I highly recommend it, should you ever be in Granville, OH. After breakfast, we went back to the motorhome to place the perishables on ice and the rest of the things out of the hot car. As we were driving through the campground I noticed that there was a whole group of children on the ropes course and zip line that is part of the recreational activities. When we got back to the motorhome, George took Abby over to the zip line area to watch, while I stayed in the air conditioning, and prepared a new batch of cucumber salad. George leaves the trip planning solely up to me. He says he is just the driver, so with that said, I decided that we would skip the boat ride and go back to the Velvet Ice Cream store and get sundaes. As it turned out, It was a good thing we didn't go for the boat ride as a severe thunderstorm came through about 2:30 PM. We left at 1:30 PM to go get the ice cream. Since we are planning on heading home tomorrow, for three reasons. A lot of things close down for the week of the 4th, plus most campgrounds are booked solid that week. In addition there is a huge front coming through, with severe weather forecast to be really bad, and we really don't want to be in our RV when it hits. Before the rains came today, we decided to pack up the car with all of our clothing, both dirty and clean. Plus other things. So we will only need to get the food out, and we can do that on Monday. We will be leaving early tomorrow as we have at least an eight hour trip, probably more like 10 hours.
