2 posts in one day!

We are in Coffeyville and I will continue my "sick saga"........ haha!!!

We got here around 1:30 Wednesday afternoon and were greeted by our friends Dennie and Karen who have been here a week working already! It was great to see them again!

We found a place to park in Walter Johnson RV Park in Coffeyville.... it is an overflow site but we are on gravel and our elec. so far is great! We have good water pressure but we will be sharing water with 11 other sites if they all fill up. So far only 3 people are here at this overflow area. We will have to probably fill our water tanks up and use the water pump when that happens and when it gets colder anyway. The other RV parking areas are gravel but lower and they are swimming. in their areas when it rains...... we are high and dry here..so this isn't so bad at all. We will have the honey wagon coming by 3 times a week to dump our tanks..... it doesn't cost us anything so this is working out well so far.

After we got set up we rode with Dennie and Karen to look around Coffeyville and find something to eat..... we found a Mexican place and had a good meal there..... we were so exhausted as having to get up early at Erin's and then sleeping on the couches that night before.

Thursday we got around and had some lunch and then they rode with us to Independence to take our 'tests' for Amazon......it wasn't a difficult test at all...we had about 10 pictures of books, CD's, DVD's to find the author, title or what it was to look at. Then we had the "pee test"..... I figured all the meds I had been on might affect the results but it came out clean. So I guess we passed with flying colors! We have a "social" tomorrow at 6 and then find out our shifts times etc..... stay tuned!

After we were finished with that we made a Walmart run and came back to Coffeyville. Independence is about 20 miles away and it wasn't a long drive. We dropped off Dennie and Karen and came home.....
We fixed some dinner and I crashed on the couch early last night and was in bed by 9 after sleeping on the couch most of the evening...I missed Survivor! darn!!!

I am still dealing with this "stuff" I've got but am taking some meds that are beginning to loosen up this stuff in my bronchial tubes.....why always when I get a cold it settles there? The coughing is the worst and I have taken Robitussin and cough drops like crazy...along with lots of water to keep my throat moist. Bill fixed me a hot toddie last night and it helped a lot.

This morning, we got around and went to the laundrymat to do a few loads of laundry. I had most of it done when we left Topeka but wanted to wash sheets, etc.
We met a couple at the laundrymat who are Amazon people too who were from Surprise, AZ. and knew a couple we worked with at El Mirage! Small world!!!! We enjoyed visiting with them... They have a lot at Happy Trails RV Pak in Surprise.... We will see them at the social tomorrow night.

After laundry was finished we ate lunch at the BBQ place here and came home. Bill was looking for some valve stems for the truck...guess we will have to go to Bartelsville where there is a RV dealership.

We have a very pretty spot... out the backside of the RV is a big park with a huge playground equipement. We are parked on a fairgrounds area so lots of buildings off to one side. Lots of trees and squirrels running around. But we would love to see the sun for day or 2..... it has been dreary for over a week or more! It's about time to see the sun! Maybe tomorrow!


The grandkids are all back to their "day spots" today and feeling better from what Megan said this am. She had to go to Emporia today for a meeting. Erin/Ryan will be home this evening.... Erin told Megan she is seeing a dr. tomorrow....


Well, that about catches us up for another time...... I will try to post more often now that we are almost beginning to work...so many have asked about our work...stay tuned so you can "read my whine!"....... I'm sure my leg muscles will be crying loud and clear! haah!!!!

take care
Until next time!
