Sunday evening

We have been at Lake Texoma for over 10 days! Boy the time has really flown by!
We are leaving Monday am to go to the town where our dealer is for the new rig. It is to be in Great Bend Monday!!! The time is almost here and I'm not looking forward to all the work of emptying this rig! I know my better half will be saying.... "where did we get all this stuff!":) Some friends called today and will help us "move" over to the new rig! Bless them!

We have done lots of fishing and have really enjoyed spending time with my sister and brother-in-law and also a visit from my other sister who lives in OKC. It was fun having the "sisters" weekend! We have sooo many fish to bring home and will have a cooler almost full! The other 3 couples left yesterday and there will be another couple leaving on Wed. for their winter home in the south of Texas.

The weather here has been great! It was even hot yesterday and Friday! Today was the day to get the capris back out! Hard to think it is NOVEMBER!!!! Guess we need to get used to the warmer weather in the winter, at least when we get to Alabama and Florida!

So we begin traveling tomorrow and will be in Great Bend for the week then on to McPherson for the weekend with our friends and the drive-in rally then "home" to Topeka for a while! Anxious to see the kids again!

So that's our news for the week!!!
Have a good evening!

Guess this will be a weekly blog

Hi,
I know I know...... it seems I can't stay on top of this at all! I think nightly about writing something and then bam I forget and shut down the laptop! Sorry! Hang with me!

Since I've last wrote we have had Halloween and done some traveling. It was so fun to be a part of the little guys in our family's Halloween. I told B. when we left our daughter's house that night that I remember those days.....rush home,rush to eat and go out with the girls's trick or treating! E. fixed a great crockpot lasagna we haven't had before so that was something new and yummy! But.... my son-in- law informed me he helped! :)

The water had been shut off at Lake Shawnee on Tuesday..... guess putting signs out for Thursday, Nov. 1st. meant nothing.... they came around and said they were shutting the water off 2 days early. Good thing we were home because we didn't have our fresh water tank filled and was able to fill it.

We left early Thursday am, Nov. 1st for Lake Texoma. We arrived in good time to get set up and get caught up with our friends and my sister/brother-in-law. We met my sister/brother-in-law at Durant's walmart then traveled on together. It is so pretty here but the trees are all elm..... nothing like the red oak,pear trees at Lake Shawnee! Those trees were so red and just gorgeous!
I went fishing with the others on Sunday afternoon and yesterday. We caught over 50 fish but not our limits...... the guys went out this afternoon to try again.
That is a fun way to fish and the fun of catching them..... glad someone else has to clean them! :)

Tomorrow we are going to north of Ft. Worth to Cabela's. There are 14 of us here together. We have had lots of fun visiting and seeing some of the sights around here.

Tonite we are having a soup supper..... we had planned on eating outside but it turned cool last night and today has been kind of cool.....so everyone is coming to our rig to eat tonite! We will be compact in our rig...but it will be fun!

Well, that about catches everything up for now...
have a good evening!
till later
