  • Come with us to Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana or "Michiana," as it's called. We camp out at Goff Lake Campground and figure out what will work to keep Bo from entering the cab area of the RV...luckily Steve at ObeCo had an easy solution. Then we discovered an amazing taste treat the locals call "Amish Crack!"

    Just get a good sized padded storage ottoman to put in front of the seat at the same height. You may need a rectangular board to go over both ottoman and seat to stabilize. Then cushions on top. Maybe rug gripper under if cushions slide.

      They have a strawberry-raspberry jelly donut that I would like to try the next time we are over that way. My mom used to make the best lemon meringue pie and home made cinnamon rolls! I tried to make the cinnamon rolls a few times, but they weren't the same. Mom never measured anything. She just mixed it all together.

      @RVLifestyle  4 года назад +1

      We pulled a small travel trailer in our first days of RVing many years ago. We have thought that it would be nice on occasion to be able to just leave camp and explore. A trailer, though, seems like so much extra work to me.... towing, hooking and unhooking, backing up, driving. Maybe someday. I don't ever want to say never. And we do like the look and design of Airstreams. But for now, we're pretty content. It is very easy to break camp and just drive off in our Class C Leisure Travel Vans Wonder RTB,

    If Bo is like our dogs they want to be where there is some air blowing on their face to help keep cool. Bo looks like he is trying to get cooled off. Maybe try mounting or placing a small quite fan blowing into the seat area and Bo will be more inclined to be on the seat. Our dogs tend to try to keep their face near the air flow from the dash vents especially if the ac is blowing on hot days.

    If you are tired of so much chicken check out Melissa Joulwan's cookbooks. She is a genius at mixing meats, veg, seasonings, and sauces to keep your taste buds humming. Especially look for Hot Plates beginning on page 34 in the Well Fed cookbook. We have that same grill, but always seem to cook in the cast iron skillet rather than on the grate. I appreciate your tip from a recent Ask Us Anything about lining it with foil.

    You could use an ottoman/footstool. Walmart has several. You could bungee it on the front and sides and attach it to the built in chair.
    However, you could also just use a piece of wood (even a large cutting board) and put two fold up legs (hinged) then when not in use, slide it under the cushion. You could put a chair cushion on it which you could use elsewhere. Just some thoughts.
    My husband said that this was the funniest one you guys have done. He was laughing at Mike being tortured. I’m not doing Leto at the moment but I’ve cut out sugar...which I’m addicted to. I’m sure I gained 5 lbs while looking at those donuts. 🙄. I have lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks. Not great. Sigh.
