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!
