Saturday morning

Hopefully this will go through this time.....
We have been busy this past week with Christmas with my sister's family last Sunday and so by the 'real" Christmas day we were all exhausted and it was raining! So on Christmas day B.and I just relaxed all day and stayed tucked inside. It was great spending time with my niece and nephew and family for at least some time. I can't remember the last time all of our families have been together at a holiday.

So the day after Christmas my sister and I shopped till we dropped! It was fun and I found several things...clothes and some Christmas "decorations" pcs. on 1/2 price! B. got me a Waterford Christmas ornament this year for Christmas..just what I had been wanting! So we found Dillards had them 1/2 pr. after Christmas so I picked up a couple more.Hopefully next year he will remember to add to my collection so when we have a stick and brick of some kind in the years to come I can put them on a tree!

We took a road trip to Birmingham on Thursday to look at campers with my sister/bro-in-law. They are contemplating a different unit. We have gotten them to RV'ing and they love it! So they want something a little bit bigger and something they don't have to trade trucks with. We found a few nice ones that might work for them.... Always hard decisions!

Friday was spent cleaning our "home".... and doing some laundry. It looked like it really was going to storm here but just clouds that looked bad. It rained sometime during the night or early morning but not much. It is too turn cooler this week sometime...back to putting the hoses away at night for a couple of nights anyway.

Well, that about catches us up for this week. Not much going on today so far..... nothing really planned either!

I don't like to make New Year's resolutions but maybe I will try to do better at writing on a daily basis. Stay tuned!

Have a good weekend!
till next time!

Friday am before Christmas....

I think I'm going to have to begin writing during the day sometime...I seem to have more time and somewhat more energy to write! Don't hold your breath though!

We have had a busy last 2 weeks we have been here. My sister and I love to shop and we have hit the stores. The weather here in the south just doesn't bring my images of snow and griping about the weather,the cold and the crowds and wondering if we are going to get to go someplace to shop...... none of the above to stop you! except the crowds..... traffic on the blvd...is always there!

It has been wonderful spending time with my sister and brother-in-law. Am also looking forward to spending Sunday afternoon with her kids and their kids. So I imagine Christmas will be quiet because they will be with their other sides.

So I guess that is about it for now....
Have a Merry Christmas!

Guess this has become a monthly blog!

Sorry it has taken me almost a month to write! We have been very busy and so the evening's are spent just relaxing!

Since I've last written we left Lake Texoma with a freezer full of fish and lots of fun! We had a great time with our friends and sister/brother-in-law. We hope we can do it again!

We made it to Great Bend and on Wed.Nov. 14th we got our new rig---"home on wheels!"
It has taken some adjustment to get everything like we wanted and slowly it has become home. We lost some space, adjusted some space and gained some space..... others have told me its like moving into a new home...well, it has been but Bill and I have only moved once in our married life---- so this has been a new experience to us! But we really like it now and have enjoyed it immensely!
Thanks to our friends who came over from McPherson to help us... and our friends in Great Bend...they were all lifesavers and we really really appreciated their help! We developed a new method of moving at the end.... called the "shove" method..... shove it here and shove it there to just get it to the rig. It worked and so we had a couple of days to get things situated.

From Great Bend we went to our drive in rally to McPherson for the weekend. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing our friends before they all leave or stay in Ks for the winter.

We then went to Topeka to our kids..... and COLD weather and snow! We got the rig settled and unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and it was cold most of the time we were there! Bill hated having to nightly go unhook the water hoses and sewer hose so they didn't freeze...... we now have to find a new and longer sewer hose......

Since the forecast last week for this week was to have snow and ice we decided to leave a week early.... so we had an early Christmas with the kids last Sunday and left on Monday.It was very hard to leave them but we had had enough of the cold temps with the new rig. This will be about the 2nd Christmas without the kids..... Christmas and family time can be any day of the year... time spent together is what was important!
We went to Great Bend again on Monday to have some things adjusted on the rig before leaving for the winter. Monday eve. we had supper with our friends in Great Bend and an evening of visiting. We really enjoy our time with them......
Leaving Tuesday am after they fixed the slideouts etc. we made it to east of OKC before stopping for the night. From there we got to Memphis on Wednesday. We stayed at the Tom Sawyer Mississippi RV Park right on the Mississippi River! It was a neat park and I'm sure in the nicer season it is a wonderful park..... It was too cold to be outside to enjoy watching the barges go up and down the river!
We made it to Montgomery on Thursday for our month's stay in Montgomery.The park where we are at is very close to my sister and it is very nice! Even have a concrete patio with a glass patio table! We loved the warm temps of today! It is great to be able to spend time with my sister/brother-in-law....

So that about catches us up on our "daily" happenings as we begin traveling for the winter!

Until next time!
