Day 23; May 20, 2011 - Cody WY

We didn't do much today.  Just hung out in the campground.  Rain, Rain, and more rain!  Heard on the weather channel this morning that the west would be the next place to watch for flooding and it would depend on how fast the snow started melting and how much more rain comes down!  

We did go to Wal-Mart and K-Mart.  After that we traded our truck and camper for another one to give us a little more spending money.  The picture is below.  It is similar to our first camping experiences.
 Gary choose Friday night for our weekly dinner out.  This restaurant is close to our campground.  We were planning on walking over; but the rain changed our mind.  They have a prime rib buffet on Friday nights.  I think he was disappointed in the buffet.  I was disappointed in the food.  I was up eating Tums in the middle of the night.  I just might get to be like Janet DeOrnellis--I might be able to cook better! 
I also did the laundry, sewed a little, and got a call from Donna and Deb that Daddy was in the emergency room again with a cough that was causing him trouble.

Hi Sandy! Looks like you are having a blast! Crazy weather in Kansas today. Saw my first tornado at the baseball fields in Topeka. Calvin was hanging out with our baseball team. I will try to post a picture if I can figure it out.

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 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 for a drive, I wanted to

Day 19; Badlands and Wall, South Dakota

Image
This day was probably one of my best for this trip.  I had never been to the Badlands.  The weather was perfect.  Miss Priss was not.  Gary thought she should go along.  I decided I was going to get two shock collars.  One for her when she yeps, and one for Gary when he sleeps while driving. The Badlands was interesting. They had buffalo grazing and a lot of native grass fields.  We drove on dirt roads for 30 miles to cross this area.  The dirt in places was a white color.  I asked Gary what this was (I thought it might be salty) and he explained something about it did not or it did have a special chemical makeup that was above my head and memory. Our next stop was Wall, South Dakota, to visit the famous Wall Drug Store. I could not find my charms in this store.  I did find a purse I liked in the store behind Gary and his silent friend.  Handsome couple of gents!  Gary was full and content as we ate lunch at the drug store.  We were suppose to have hot beef sandwiches and I accid
