First day of seminars at Gypsy Gathering

It was 50° this morning at 7:00 when we got up - does it ever feel good after the heat we had at Camp Atterbury. The seminars start at 9:00 this morning. We're taking a couple of folding chairs to sit on during the seminars. Since the seminars are being held in the fairground buildings, there may not be enough chairs for everyone & we all were advised to bring our own chairs.

Mike went to the 9-10 am seminar on "Electrical Management Systems" & I went to "Boondocking Basics". We both attended Nick Russell's 10:30 - 12 seminar "Highway History & Back Road Mystery" (always an enjoyable time). Then back to the RV for lunch 12 - 1:30 & to give Tinker lunch & some quality time.


We split up again for the 1:30 - 2:30 seminars; Mike went to "Appearance Care for Your RV" & I attended "The First 48 Hours After a Death" (not a real cheerful subject, but really informative & thought provoking).

Mike & I both went to "Every RVer Needs a Blog" at 3 - 4:30 given by Chris & Jim Guld - Geeks on Tour. We've talked about having a website to chronicle our travels since we started fulltiming in May 2006, but never really found anything that we were happy with - until now. We have friends & family all over the country & we're not always the best e-mail writers - so a blog is perfect for us.

One of the items in our seminar packet were discount coupons for Bella's Italian Grille in Celina (http://www.bellasitaliangrille.com/), so we decided to go there for dinner. We both had spaghetti & dessert (both very good) & had a scenic view of Grand Lake St. Mary's.

Then back to the fairgrounds to attend the door prize drawing at 7 p.m. & afterwards back to the RV & look over our seminar schedules for tomorrow.
