Old Forge Trip Take 3

The next morning I woke up to Mo trying to get out of the camper.  She was freaking out.  She could not get the door open.  I guess I was successful on getting it completely shut.  I tried to open it, and I couldn't get it.  She was searching for another way out.  I mean she was freaking out.  I, on the other hand, was trying to think of some I had that I could use as a flat head screw driver.  I opened up my make up bag (I knew I brought that bag for something) and pulled out a skin tool that I have.  I proceeded to unscrew the door knob thing.  I pulled the piece off and found the actual ugly lever for the door, and I opened that baby up!  That is right!  I MacGuyvered us out of there!  Mo was so relieved, and we now have a good inside joke.

We went out walking around the town.  But first my mother in law had to have her morning beer.  Yeah.  Crazy I know, but even crazier was when she took the beer can, put it into my styrofoam cup, and drank it that way.  One of the places we stopped was a museum that has a changing exhibit.  Mo didn't understand the changing exhibit thing.  She wanted to know why they didn't have any pictures of her father and grandfather in there (they were bigshots in town).  They were doing an exhibit on the mail boat.  She left, and I continued to look around.

When we got back to the house, Mo had to contact the funeral home about her mother's ashes.  Apparently no one knew where they were.  That was the whole reason for being there.  The funeral home said that no one had contacted them to pick up the ashes.  They had no idea where they were.  It took them like 3 hours to find them.  They had put them in storage.  We could meet them at the funeral home in Old Forge that afternoon to get them.  FINALLY! 

We hung out at the house (outside never inside) that day for a little while.  Mandy had on a ring.  It was a ring that Mo's mother had given to Mo and then 40 years later asked for it back to give to Mandy.  Yeah.  Indian giver.  This wasn't a ring that Mo never wore.  It was one that she wore every day.  She reluctantly sent it to her mother who gave it to Mandy.  The last time Mo was up there Mandy was not wearing it, and Mo asked her about it.  She had no idea what Mo was talking about, but mysteriously this time she knew all about it.  She even told the us whose ring it had been and blah blah blah.  She knew the whole story.  Mo was so pissed.  She just knew that Carol told Mandy to put the ring on and make sure to wear it around her.  I would like to iterate that I only saw Carol like 2 or 3 times the whole time I was there, and she was in no way friendly.
