Day 23; May 20, 2011 - Cody WY

We didn't do much today.  Just hung out in the campground.  Rain, Rain, and more rain!  Heard on the weather channel this morning that the west would be the next place to watch for flooding and it would depend on how fast the snow started melting and how much more rain comes down!  

We did go to Wal-Mart and K-Mart.  After that we traded our truck and camper for another one to give us a little more spending money.  The picture is below.  It is similar to our first camping experiences.
 Gary choose Friday night for our weekly dinner out.  This restaurant is close to our campground.  We were planning on walking over; but the rain changed our mind.  They have a prime rib buffet on Friday nights.  I think he was disappointed in the buffet.  I was disappointed in the food.  I was up eating Tums in the middle of the night.  I just might get to be like Janet DeOrnellis--I might be able to cook better! 
I also did the laundry, sewed a little, and got a call from Donna and Deb that Daddy was in the emergency room again with a cough that was causing him trouble.

Hi Sandy! Looks like you are having a blast! Crazy weather in Kansas today. Saw my first tornado at the baseball fields in Topeka. Calvin was hanging out with our baseball team. I will try to post a picture if I can figure it out.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a l...

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go ...

Day 81; July 17 - Sunday Day of Rest

Image
I just wanted to hang out and enjoy the scenery today.  I was awaken this morning by a Skype call from Jessie and Mary.  Started my day off right.  I had a muffin and cream cheese for breakfast.  Last night Gary came in with two bags of groceries the neighbors had given him.  They were flying back to their home country this morning and didn't have any use for them.  They gave him four old bananas, oil, eggs, juice, salad dressing..... I made a great loaf of banana nut bread.  It was pretty good if I do say so myself.  Driver, Prissy, and I took a short walk while it was cooking. He told me he kept repeating his sad story of all the repairs that he made on his vehicles and put on his oldest clothes so people would feel sorry for him--that man!  He also is really pleased with all the goodies the girls left in the cupboards.  He has enough junk food to get him back in the lower 48.  Ha!  He really enjoyed being spoile...
