Crochet Me Crazy

We woke up this morning and moved to the state park. We have a nice, private site back in the maintenance area of the park. It was a tight squeeze past the trees moving in and the top rubber of our RV got torn a little bit from branches. Jeff is going to have to fix it very soon. We ended up having to get ropes and pull the tree branches back to get by without further damage to the RV. Now we are in and all set up. We will be park host here until at least the of August or beginning of September. Tomorrow, we'll go to orientation.

We had a close brush with death yesterday. It's one of those things that can't be explained and I still haven't figured out how it happened. I woke up yesterday morning and went straight to the kitchen table and sat down. Jeff got up right after me and went to the stove to boil the water for coffee. He heard and saw the gas on the stove was turned on! We could smell the gas near the floor of the camper. I ran and got the kids up and we went outside. We turned the "super-fans" on in the RV (they suck air out of the camper) It had to have been on all night because we hadn't touched the stove and no one was awake when we found it. I can't figure out how it got turned on because the day before, we were gone all day to town and no one used the stove that night when we got home. The kids don't use the stove because they don't like lighting it. Jeff and Michael were up several hours after me the night before watching a movie. I can't believe they wouldn't have smelled it. The dog crate is right beside the stove on the floor and even they were okay. We do cover their cage with a blanket at night to keep them from getting scared and barking. It would be near impossible to turn it on by accident either because you actually have to push the knob in and then turn it to get it to turn on and the handle for the oven sticks out further than the knobs so it would even be hard to lean on it and turn it on. Well, we're all safe and sound so I guess I'll be checking the knobs even more than I already do now!!
