February 1 2014 -- Homestead Florida

My sleep apnea machine is still not functioning correctly.  I stopped at Walgreens and asked if they knew where I could go to have it checked; and this man gave me an address north off Miami on 244th Road.  We finally got there and turned left and the road turned into a residential area.  It had beautiful homes.  This is just one of my favorite.




Gary likes the warm (hot) weather here; but he does not care for the traffic.  Every night about sundown the police sirens start to wail.  About 11pm, the owner locks the gates to our park.  We have a key in case we need to come and go; but we try to be tucked into our home at dusk.  WalMart has its tools under lock like electronics.  Gary went to Home Depot to find a wrench and said they should have their locked too because packages of metric wrenches had been torn open and some of the wrenches were missing.  People!


Construction was going on in this Miami suburb.  I told Gary I didn't care to go back........
but the next day we headed back further north to an Apria Sleep Center to have my machine checked.  The tech thought it was working correctly.  Advised me to go back home and try it again.  So to bed I went but I couldn't go to sleep because it seems to go off about the time I drift off to sleep.  Glad I didn't stay up for no reason, about 5am the alarm woke me.  So, I called the Topeka office again and they are sending me a circuit hose.  $70 more.  Just money!  It was suppose to come today or Monday.  Didn't come today, so Monday it must be.

Old trucks must impress me, saw this little Ford at the stop light.

Heartland Trailer Park; Homestead Florida

This morning when we got up to go find Mexican corn, I took a picture of the office/wash room.  The owner lives is the park house to the left.  Nice, clean little park.  $150 per week.  We are parked in the corner lot behind where the picture was taken.

Got a text from Kristen, she and hubby had landed at Tampa and were headed to their cruise ship.  She was pretty excited with the 70 degree weather in Tampa.  I told her it was warmer here, 82 degrees today.  The air runs about all day; the humidity must be hard to cycle.

Happy February to you!  Can't believe it is February 2014!

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
