July 6 & 7, 2018 Visit to Tom, Tiffanie & Adeline - Limington, Maine

June 6, 2018

We were up early this morning. Finished packing the MH and were on the road by 10 am. The traffic going through Boston wasn't too bad. Only one slowdown due to a car broken down in the middle lane. Once past that it was smooth sailing.

We stopped at the New Hampshire rest area for a quick bathroom break . Ron noticed that the check light was on the fridge. It is a combo electric/gas that is suppose to automatically change over to  gas when disconnected from electricity.  HMMM - what now!

Ron did some investigating and could not get the gas to work. We decided it could wait until we got to Maine.

We arrived in Maine a little after 1 pm. We were greeted by Tiffanie, Adeline and their two dogs Beau and Beans. Tom was at work. We weren't sure how Kasey was going to get along with their two dogs.  True to form she greeted them both with barks, growls and snarls. Their barks were bigger and soon they were getting along just fine.

Once settled,  Ron attacked the issue with the refrigerator. He used everything in his arsenal of options to see if he could get the fridge to work on gas but to no avail. It is running on electricity so that is good.

We had lunch with Addie & Tiffanie and spent the afternoon catching up.

Tom arrived home around 5:30 pm and we went out to dinner to a Chinese buffet. Back home we sat out and enjoyed  the evening. It cooled down considerably resulting in great sleeping weather.

July 7, 2018  Limington  - 4th of July parade and fireworks

Ron had suggested I run the stove burners to see if that would clear the gas lines of air and resolve the refrigerator issue. I could not get the stove burners to work. I told Ron and he immediately checked to see if the propane had been turned on. It wasn't! DUH -problem solved. When he had the propane filled the guy replaced a check valve and forgot to turn the propane back on. In twenty years this has never happened so Ron didn't think to check if that could be the issue. .

Tom is deeply ingrained in the Limington Fire Department, even though that wasn't his initial plan. He was off to the fire station early this morning to do something involving the parade.

Later that morning we attended the parade. It was a pretty good parade for such a small town.

After the parade we went to the car show with Tiffanie and Adeline.

               Ron wants one of these - a Rat Rod????? It looks like something out of Mad Max.

Later we had a delicious dinner cooked by master chef Tiffanie. Teriyaki chicken, rice and a vegetable dish that looked like quiche but was even better. 



Adeline waiting patiently for dinner.

After dinner we sat outside and enjoyed the good weather. Tom had to leave again because he was doing fire detail at the fireworks.

Kasey won Tom's heart. He said he is keeping her. NOT! LOL

             Tiffanie was doing doggie poop detail and she came back with a dead wood rat!         

At dusk we drove into town and set up for the fireworks. For a small town it was quite the display.

Can't really tell in the pictures but they were really good. We haven't been to a fireworks display in several years so really enjoyed them. Tom got caught up in an accident of some kind after the fireworks so we didn't get to see him that night before bed. It was a fun day for all of us.
