RV Living, Conger Style: Windmill of Distinction

Windmill of Distinction

We have the distinct honor of having the only windmill in Jellystone RV Park, thanks to our nephew and niece who gave it to us for Christmas.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the windmill for its (1) artistic presence; (2) conversation-starting ability; and (3) work ethic. Re #3, the windmill never gets tired, it never is sick, it never is lazy -- it's always on the job!

It has earned its keep the last several days with wind gusts up to 50 mph!

We LOVE our windmill -- all 5' of it!

Things I've Enjoyed Reading Lately

"The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson -- This is a true story of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. It is true crime and history which reads like a novel. I was fascinated with the story of the Fair from inception to conclusion; and horrified at the crimes being committed at the same time. I was also amazed at the people who attended, the products introduced there and the far-reaching implications of the Fair. This is a great read.
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruene -- This is a poignant tale of life with a train circus during the Depression years told by 93-year-old Jacob who was a vet with the circus. You will be entertained, appalled, educated, and treated to a feel-good ending. I definitely recommend this read.
"Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett -- this was a re-read for me; I read it when it first came out in 1989 and proclaimed then that it was the best book I'd ever read. I just learned that Follett was coming out with a sequel so I decided to read this one again so I would be up to speed with the characters when I read the sequel. I still think it's the best book I've every read.
"Do You Want To Know a Secret?" by Mary Jane Clark -- I picked this up accidently (thinking I was picking up a Mary Higgins Clark) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a page-turner and I absolutely was shocked at the ending!
