Oct 6 - Day 4 Past Milton DE on my way to Bridgeville

Beautiful day, a little nip in the air, and the smell of steak on the grill somewhere. Managed 3 plus miles at lunch time and another 5 after supper, for a total of 8.28 for the day. Got me right through downtown Milton and now I"m somewhere in the middle of the Redden State Forest. I'm almost half way across the state of Delaware. Sure, its a small state, but still counts.

We're going to rough it camp tonight in the woods. Ya, like you can really rough it in this cushy 5th wheel of mine. We even have a washer and dryer in here. Home away from home. It doesn't get any better than this. Hmm think we'll have baked potatos and t-bone steaks on the grill. I'm kicked back in my lounge chair, with a glass of wine, watching Tony cook.

Finished, 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas' by John Boyne.. I'll have to give this book a B+. It was a short book, and managed to convey the sadness of the Holocast without describing one brutal or graphic scene. The end was a big surprise too.

I started reading 'Family Album' by Penelope Lively. It's kind of off to a slow start. It seems to be about an English family of 6 kids set in the 70's that keeps popping back and forth between the kids in the present, and then back to childhood memories. No idea if I'm liking it yet, but an hour into the book, so I'll hang in there before giving up on it.
