January 12, 2012 - Thursday

Boy, I must have been tired.  I went to bed last night at 9:30pm and slept until 8:38am this morning.  We were suppose to meet Robert and Roberta at 9:30am to go "help" them deliver Meals on Wheels.  We had to hurry in and out of the bathroom.  That was interesting.,

Roberta takes the meals to the houses and Robert drives her around town.  I'm sure she is a bright spot in their day with her contagious smile.

It is their treat to go out for lunch after the deliveries.  Robert chose "The Mesquite Pit".  We  had some good Texas barbecue.

We then drove into Fort Worth to pick up storm windows for one of their rental houses.  I had an new experience.....while Gary was helping get the windows in the back of the SUV, he hit a lever on my seat that folded me and the seat down in the floor.  I was sitting with my ankles crossed and they were requesting the Pillsbury Dough girl to get out.  Now think about that, my chin on the seat in front, my knees up to my shoulders.  They had to pull the front seat up and slowly I unwound and was released from my situation,  They were wishing they had my camera.  They thought this needed to be posted.  Good thing I have a sense of humor......

Back to Wal-Mart to get the groceries for supper.  We had pizza and pop and played Spades.  Gary and I had never played this before.  We had a good time.

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

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 little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 119; August 24 - Finally!

Image
Here we are.  Friday we signed the papers with the promise of picking up the truck on Monday.  But, life likes to remind us who is boss.  We left this afternoon around 2pm with the 2001 Diesel.  I told Gary on the way to the dealer that it was like taking our German Shepard to the vet with the intention of putting her down, and he would could home with her again.  Too hard to depart.  The Diesel didn't want to say good-bye either! But tonight, after drawing the attention of the New Car Manager (all the sales personnel knew us by name) and General Manager, the truck was finished.  A couple from California stopped by to ask questions and visit about diesels.  I think that did it!......  when the customers thought we were a permanent fixture to the store.  Our truck got finished around 6pm.  The General Manager said if we had to stay longer they would buy us dinner.......The first running boards they tried to install were not right, so we got an upgrade.  They are nice!  The Driver
