Back to the Manfacturer of our rig.

JULY 31 - AUG 5 @ My sister Kaye's.

On Aug 3rd we took a 1/2 day trip back into Indiana to the manufacturer of our trailer; Cruiser RV because we lost the, what I call the stove flipper-flapper.

It's on the outside of the trailer to vent the stove burners when cooking.

 It gets locked down when we get ready to drive & unlocked when we're parked & going to cook. It HAD BEEN LOCKED DOWN but the flapper part broke off & flew away somewhere.

Cruiser Rv is only about an hours drive from my sister's in Coldwater, Michigan.

Sooooo......We bought 2 of these flipper things in case we lose another one in the future.

At the factory they were only $3.79 & in the RV stores they are $10 or more.

Having been at the factory several times on previous trips to see how the rigs are made we had discovered a favorite Chinese Buffet restaurant& we ate there today, of course.  As Good as ever.

Every time we go to visit family in Coldwater we take this side route so we can eat here in Sturgis, Michigan

 Now on to a few photos:

Kay's two cats with their "lion cuts" for the summer.

The three cart photos were on the road near sister's. They were in the yard of a yard sale. 

View from sister's house. I was trying to get a shot of one of her cats which was stalking these geese but he stayed hidden in those bushes on the right. 

Sister's house is an octagon shape. It's on a cul-du-sac & there is this little place for us to park our trailer.



My sister told us about a succulent place about an hour from her house so we went to see what they had. I was really surprised at the variety as well as the quantity..... because of climate.
We learned that they mostly need to be house plants due to weather there.

The photo above is one I hadn't seen before & really liked the looks of it. The guy told me it's a "weed" & grows like one......will take over. Ummmm, I'd like to try it in a pot then. It's really pretty.
The name of it is below on the white band.
