Thursday evening

We got moved to another RV park yesterday morning leaving the beautiful view of the lake....we will miss the view but we LOVE this park...see pictures I have posted.

I wondered about the interstate traffic noise and it didn't bother us last night at all.

Today was our son-in-law's birthday so we went to Erin's this am for a visit and then decided to go out for lunch. We ate at Chili's. After lunch we stopped by our friend's Bob and Jackie's new house and visited there until almost 4:30. They invited us back for dessert at 6:30 and to meet their friends. It was a nice evening. They live in an older part of Topeka called College Hill and lots of houses were like ours was..... they have quite a bit of work to do on their house but it will come together I"m sure!

Not much planned tomorrow except keeping the little ones tomorrow night.

So that is about it for this time!
Until next time!

It's time to catch up again!

The weeks are slipping by so quickly....... sorry it's taken so long to post anything exciting in our lives! :)

We really haven't done much this past week although we did make a trip to Hutch to the State fair on Thursday. I thought sure it would rain on us all day at the fair but it held off until late afternoon. We left Wednesday afternoon to stay with our friends in McPherson. We didn't take our "home" with us and so we slept in their daughter's fifth wheel which was parked next to them. We left early Thursday am for breakfast then onto the fair. It seemed the numbers were down in the exhibits there also..... but it was a nice day to mill around as there weren't many people out and around. We met our friends from Madison for lunch and then again for supper. They had been to Sharon Springs to had their Hydro Hot fixed on their motorhome. So we had a nice visit with them. We ate supper then went back to McPherson which then we decided to go on back to Topeka instead of staying overnight. We are glad we did because it didn't hardly rain on us and boy was it raining on Friday morning when we got up! It rained all day Friday and Friday night. Saturday was a cloudy cool day and we spent it just relaxing around here. Sunday morning we went to church then came home as the girls and little ones came for lunch. Their hubby's were both gone to a golf tourneyment and the KC game. Late afternoon we decided to go to a movie that had just came out.... I had been soo hungry for popcorn! It was great and the movie "Righteous Kill" with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro is fantastic! I told Bill that Al Pacino is my all time favorite actor but Boy does he look old! :)ha ha!!!

Monday morning, Bill helped our neighbor Bob move their stored things from a storage shed to their house they had just bought. He spent most of the day doing that and I had the day to myself except for having lunch with the girls....even Lauren joined us! It was nice and I really enjoyed that! Megan had only about an hour for lunch....so it was a quick one for her. Erin brought me home and then I sewed the rest of the afternoon.... having made 2 baby bibs and 2 pillowcases ... 1 for each of the boys from animal fabric I bought in Alaska for them.

We do have some news to share from last week....we have accepted a job for next summer in Wichita, KS. We decided to be closer to the kids next year and especially for Lauren's 1st birthday..... We are looking forward to being able to be fairly close within an hour of driving and still spending time with them. So we begin toward the end of April and will be done the middle of October. Our next year is planned out!

We are moving to another RV park in Topeka tomorrow morning and we are both looking forward to that. It is a new park and we will have FULL hookups with concrete pads! YIPPPEEEE!!!!! It is a very nice park and we can't wait!

Until next time!

A cloudy cool Monday

It has been over a week since I've last written..... the days have flown by and we have been on the run the whole time!

We spent a semi-quiet Labor Day weekend and enjoyed having the kids in and out for part of the weekend. The 2 grandsons spent the night with us on Sunday night.

On Tuesday our friends we saw in Rapid City got here for the rally. We had a nice evening visiting and playing joker with them and Bob and Jackie.

Wednesday Jackie and I ran some errands and when we got back the island in the middle of this area was full of Newmar's! We were so glad to see everyone and sat and visited and visited with everyone! There were 25 units here for the "State Rally" and we had a great weekend despite the rainy cool weather. The main event of the weekend was the "Huff 'nPuff"--- balloon launching and flying but since the weather was kind of iffy...they only flew the balloons on Friday night and Saturday morning. Saturday mid-morning it began to rain or drizzle so the balloons were cancelled for the rest of the weekend.

Our friends began leaving after breakfast and by 9:45 the park was almost empty of Newmar's. It was another cool Sunday and Erin/Ryan and family came out after they had finished their errands. We had grilled pork chops for lunch and then they went home for the little ones naps.

It really stormed and rained during the night or early this am. We lucked out and didn't get the wind or hail that other parts of Topeka did. It has been windy and cool all day long.... just a fall day!

We bought a new kitchen faucet this am...so Bill just got finished putting it in..... maybe no more leaking around the faucet with water when you turn on the faucet!!! Whoever designed those faucets we had didn't think that thought clearly for sure!

Well, that about catches us up for this week! I hope things will slow down for a few days now... I have my sewing table set back up....I hope I can begin to sew again..... lots of things to get caught up on!

Have a good week!
Until next time!
