Monday and Tuesday--January 23 and 24, 2012

Monday--Gary said we did nothing.  I might just have to agree.  He went to Chevy dealer and got his spare tire lift fixed and ordered his new tire.  I stayed home and cooked a roast.  We went to Round Rock and mailed some letters.

Tuesday--Spent the morning the Chevy dealers.


Covert Chevrolet; Hutto TX

We left around 8:30am and got there before 9:00am.  We walked around the car lots of the Chevy and Ford.  Went back into the waiting room after 30 minutes.  We waited and I looked at all the magazines (20+).  Pretty soon someone came to tell Gary that the wrong tire had been sent and they had sent their man to Austin to pick up another.  We waited some more and read more magazines and watched TV.  Pretty soon I decided we should walk around some more.  After walking around one building, we saw the truck pull into the repair shop and a tire being unloaded so we went back into the waiting room.  We waited and waited.  Pretty soon close to 12:00noon someone came to tell Gary that they would go into the back and check.  He didn't show back out into the room.  We figured the tire had been forgotten and they started on it after he went out.  Around 12:15pm they finished.  Gary said it was actually 12:18pm--who is counting?

Back home to left over roast and baking pies.  I made a coconut and a banana.  I tried the powdered milk like Miss B suggested.  If the pies taste as good as the pan when I licked it, we are in business.

My hair is dripping wet and Gary got up and put his coat on.  Don't know why I sweat so much anymore?


It has rained here off and on; but so far no storms.

Try not to flatten any more tires. Chances are you won't get the spare down next time either. Designed by a genius with no common sense.

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...
