It has only been 2 days since I've written!!! Yesterday B. and I went to KC to Nebraska Furniture Mart and Cabela's. And of course we ate lunch in the Mall area.....
Later that afternoon we met our daughter and son-in-law for supper at a local restaurant that serves all you can eat fried chicken on Wed. nights! Yummy!
Today, Thursday, we didn't do much this am but after lunch I dropped B. off at our other daughter's house so he could work on more landscaping and I went to the mall to walk around for a while! Lots of other women walking around the mall today......
This evening our daughter and grandsons came for supper since her hubby had a meeting.
It is chilly in the morning's here but still chilly during the day too..... it just hasn't warmed up as much as I figured it would. Still nice and sunny today though!
Well, that is all that we have been doing!
till later

Some catching up to do Tuesday, Oct. 23rd
It is time I get you all caught up on our "daily happenings"..... we have had a busy week and have enjoyed the nice weather.
Since I last wrote we have done some traveling. Last Thursday morning, we traveled along with our oldest grandson to a camping rally in Halstead. Our grandson didn't feel too good when we picked him up and had the "croupy cough" but I kept thinking it would get better...well over the span of a couple of days a fever joined it. We were to stay until Sunday but when he got up on Sat. am with a fever still we decided the best place for him was home. So we headed back. It was a good thing since he was sick for the rest of the weekend. He is finally doing better and hopefully on the mend. Lots of colds and "stuff" going around.
Yesterday was a typical Kansas fall day..... cool, rainy and a good day to stay indoors. So we did mostly. I finally got my sewing machine out and sewed all afternoon. I had 2 projects that I started in Gillette, Wyoming at the end of June at our camping rally. I finished the first one yesterday and actually got it pinned to quilt. This afternoon I worked on the second one and got it finished and it is ready to be pinned to be quilted.
We are getting excited about leaving next week for Lake Texoma for a couple of weeks with some friends and my sister and brother in law who is meeting us from Alabama. My other sister will join us for the last weekend. It is fun to go fishing there. Now to try to empty my refrig. freezer to make room for fish!
It was a beautiful day here.... clear, crisp and so pretty out with the trees turning such beautiful colors. We didn't this kind of trees in such abundance in Western Ks! So pretty!
B. has been "piddling" around the camper some and doing some sorting. We are excited about getting the new rig in Nov. Yes, we will have a new "home" soon! Those of you that know us know our rig now is "blue" inside.... the new "home on wheels" has NO blue!!! I know I've gotten out of my box here but we are both looking forward to it!
Today he went over to our daughter's house to do some landscaping work in the front of their house. I had the day to myself and sewed!
So that what has been going on in our "neck of the woods"....
Enjoy the great fall days!

I know..days later
Boy am I having a hard time trying to write every day or evening!
The days seem to just zip by!
We watched the boys on Sat. night. They had fun and this "gramma" was tired! But we had fun being with them.
We had some rain this past weekend and it just seemed to thunder all night one night. The past couple of days have been really nice though. Just great fall weather.
We haven't done much the past couple of days... just some cleaning and sorting out of the rig. This afternoon we went to our storage shed and traded some winter clothes for the summer ones. I just hope by the time we get to Florida we won't need the winter clothes! haha!
We are leaving on Thursday am for a camping rally with our camping group. Looking forward to spending the weekend with them and catching up with everyone. We haven't seen some of them all summer since we were at Estes Park all summer.
till next time!

We hit the ground running......
Where did the week go? We got here Monday around noon and we haven't stopped since! Tuesday was spent catching up with our friends we are parked next too. Good to catch up with them. Tuesday eve we picked our grandson up and went "birthday "shopping/looking" so we had an idea of what to get him for his birthday. Wednesday was spent doing the shopping and his birthday at his house. Hard to believe he is 6!!!!
His younger brother has been sick with a cold so I have spent the past 2 days at their house watching him. He didn't feel real well yesterday but today was better. I just hate to see them sick.. even worse than my own girls!
We are babysitting tomorrow evening and looking forward to the boys staying with us. We are to have thunderstorms tonite and tomorrow.
It was good to hear from our friends in Estes. They mostly have left by now and are on the road or leaving tomorrow! Guess their season is "officially" over! Where has the time gone?
We got an email from our friend back "home"..... the head football coach left this week!!! What kind of turmoil are they in now?????? Times are changin'!!!!!
We just got back from seeing the movie 3:10 to Yuma!!! Excellent movie!!! Love Russell Crowe and Peter Fonda was in the movie too.
Have a good evening!
Till next time!

Sunday evening Oct. 6
We left Stockton around 9 this am with a cold wind blowing. I thought sure we would run into rain on the way across the state but by the time we got to the Wilson exit the temperature literally jumped to 82 degrees! It was nice but warm this afternoon.
We went out to eat supper with my brother, aunt and 2 cousins and spouses tonite. After sitting at the restaurant catching up for 2 hours we headed back out to the RV. The clouds were dark, lightening and some sprinkles. We didn't get much out here where we are parked. We had a nice visit and glad we got together.
Monday am we will pack up and leave to head to Topeka. I'm getting anxious to see all the "kids" and get settled again.
Until later

Saturday morning
Today is another windy day in Kansas! Sorry I haven't written any this week but "stuff" got in the way!
We had doctor's appt. a couple of days this past week and the truck had some work done on it so that meant 3 trips to Hays. Wednesday evening we ate supper with some friends and then went to their house for more visiting.
Thursday we spent the day visiting! Our next door neighbor and a few other places in town. Thursday afternoon I spent visiting my friends at "school". It was wonderful to reconnect with them and see how their lives were going. The time went by so fast. I was really glad I was able to do that. Even most of the kids I saw remembered me! I hope they stay in touch! ( I know most of them read this! )
Friday was spent at the RV mostly and late afternoon we went to our friends house and then decided to go to Plainville to eat supper. After that we came back to Stockton and rode around a little bit and then visited some more.
We are all getting so excited about our upcoming spring trip to Alaska! Sorry if you are getting tired of hearing that! :) BUT we are!
We haven't done much today so far... B. walked with D. this am. He tells me that we are going to start walking again when we get to Topeka. They have a great walking path around the lake there.
I have some laundry going and checking out the net.
We will leave in the am to go to Salina overnight then onto Topeka on Monday. I hope the storms wait till we get settled in Salina. Getting anxious to see the kids... Its been 3 months!!!
So until later
