January 19 2014 -- Time to Eat Again

Seems like all we do is eat, sleep and start all over.  I think I might be gaining weight because last night when I was going to bed I couldn't tell if I was coming or going!  This new body is really something to get use to.

We finished off our gift card at Cracker Barrel.  Gary had his Fishhook Kent cap from The Dougherty Family and found this little sign at Cracker Barrel.  So, Jerry this one is for you.



Here are my finished storage boxes for the pantry.  Pretty proud of them.  Debating on putting two in each hole; but wonder if I can see my "stuff" as easily.  He does a good job.  So, I gave hime the choice of soup, chicken fried steak, or fried Spam and potatoes and onions.  He choose the Spam Skillet.  He gets so excited when you feed him something he likes.  Don't ever offer corn on the cob and fried ham at the same time.  Don't think his heart could handle it!


We are well and planning on moving on south tomorrow.  Gary and his neighbor buddies have been talking and one told him to make sure we go to the park in the middle of the everglades.  One even had him to do a toilet paper experiment on how it disolves in water?  Are they bored?  I love travelling; but sure wish I could fly my family in for a visit and a hug.

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...
