Question for the day

So the question of the day is:  When does cozy become cramped?  Our expert escort at Braunig Lake RV Resort, Elmendorf, Tx led us to our site and settled us on our pad positioned perfectly so our jacks are on the pad and our slides will glide past the power pedestal.  A nice long site that left us with a choice of parking our Dodge behind or in front of our rig.
Our neighbors had a two chairs and a matching table set out on their paved patio.  They had been here for two days and I'm sure they felt their set up went from spacious to cozy when we pulled in.  And then we deployed our bedroom slide.....which hung over their patio.  I'm sure at that point cozy began to feel cramped.
They had folded up their table and chairs due to rain clouds so you really can't appreciate the cute table and chair set they had.  It had Ohio stamped all over it.  They also had an Ohio lawn flag and Ohio license plate frame.  No, we didn't check their underwear for more Ohio gear.  I'll bet you can't guess where they are headed for the summer months. 😉💥😉

Dad said they must be immune to the constant yip, bark, yip of their ankle biter.  At this point, it must just blend in with the background noise to them.  It drove Dad nuts!!  He really smiled this morning with they pulled out to hit the road.  It wasn't even a deep throaty bark like I can produce.🌞

The love bugs were a real challenge to get off our rig.  The black wings were easily removed but the 'guts' were a whole different story.  We scrubbed upon arrival, trying to be sure our water didn't spray onto our neighbors.  Thankfully, the next morning brought cooler, cloudy weather so Dad could once again tackle the nose.  After all that scrubbing and cleaning, it was time to take advantage of the cooperating weather and wax the nose again.  I'm sure he had removed all that had been there.

Momma said he deserved to give his shoulders a rest from all that polishing and scrubbing so she took him to Sandy Oaks Olive Orchard for lunch.  
Check out the cute table settings:




 They even serve olive oil gelato....delicious!!  Momma said it was much better than the garlic ice cream she had tried a couple of years ago.

The orchard produces olives and the gift shop sells the olive oil products.  Everything from food related to health and beauty products.  Items to pamper yourself....olive oil soaps, shampoos, hand cream and lotions. Olive leaf tea and olive leaf jelly.  Yes, they even had honey.  

Now in case you are curious about whether or not our awning can be deployed in our cozy/cramped setting, the answer is yes...just.
  So does that fall under the cozy or cramped description?   You decide.
