November 16 2013 Hot Springs to Tunica

We went site seeing and drove up Hot Springs Mountain to this tower.  I didn't care to see the view from any further up and tightwad didn't want to pay the fee.  It was a beautiful drive though.

Bath House Row
 I chose not to have a massage and bath.  It was tempting; but my body scares me and gives me nightmares.  Enough said........

Hot Springs National Park Campground
 This park would be one that we would want to visit again.  Seniors get half off and we stayed here threes nights at $14 per night for full hooks.  Satellite was hard to get through the trees; but the driver made GraMa happy and was able to pull it off.
Mississippi Border
We were going to try to make it to Tupelo; but because we are gypsies and don't have to be anywhere anytime we stopped at Tunica, Mississipp.  We found a nice campground with a full view of the southern sky at Sam's Town Casino and Hotel.  We have been here for a few days and departure will depend on the weather.  Calling for rain and wind tomorrow.  It has been warm.  The driver is out greasing something and rocking the camper.  He always finds someone to chew the fat.  I hear voices or he is talking to himself.
We ate dinner at the buffet the night we pulled into town.  Gary was pleased; but my food did not compare to Prairie Band.  I have been spoiled.  Since then, I have fixed him tuna salad and today I have a pot of ham and beans bubbling with a promise of corn bread and fried potatoes.

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...
