December 6 2013 - Alabama to Georgia

Yesterday we were up bright and early to pack and head further east.  We are staying ahead of a record breaking storm that hit the plains and south.  So far, we are about one state ahead of the cold, freezing rain, and snow.  Yesterday we had 81 degrees and humidity.  Good thing my hair is curly now, you could not tell if I had humidity freeze or naturally curly hair.

Here is the driver hooking up our apartment on wheels to head to our next address.  Working hard isn't he?


Foscue Park Shower House/Laundry
 Mizzou fans, we are getting close to Atlanta.  We are not going there though.  We prefer to sit in our Lazy Boys and eat our popcorn.  Parking isn't a problem either.

We drove past the Welcome to Georgia sign twice.  I missed it twice; but believe me we are here!


I have updated the map with two new stickers.  Added Alabama earlier and this morning (Friday), I added Georgia.

This is our new home.  The driver has done a great job of finding us Corp of Engineering parks.  Each one has been great.  We have our his/hers satellite dishes sitting just right.  Last night, we were watching "Sound of Music" with Carrie Underwood and basketball.  I thought it was well done and I enjoyed it.  Mizzou basketball won another game, K-State won again.  We enjoy our new life on the road.  I do miss the kids, grandkids, and sisters though.  Luckily we have phones and pictures.

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...
