It's been that long!

Good evening!

I can't believe its been that long ago since I've written! It seems we have been busy reading other blogs and doing other things so I'm not on the internet much in the evening's so this blog gets put on the "back burner!" for sure! My apologies! We are doing fine and winding up our time here very quickly! We only have a week and a half left here in Wichita. With only 4 more working days left it won't be long at all. Although our calendar is so full with doing something every day until we leave I hope things will continue to go smoothly.

Since I have written last we have made a quick trip to Hays so I could get a cortisone shot in my foot. My foot has quit hurting. We stopped for lunch with our friends in Great Bend and had a nice visit with them.

The girls and little ones drove down for lunch on Sunday, Sept.13. It was great to see them and we had lunch before they returned home. They left mid afternoon so the 2 smaller ones could nap on the way home. We had company on Sunday, Sept. 13 for the week before our camping rally... Bob and Jackie came and we were so glad to see them and spend time with them. They stayed until Thursday when we all left for our monthly camping rally in Council Grove. What an interesting town! So much history was there! We really enjoyed scouting around the town and finding the historical points there. The town has really worked hard to maintain the originality of the town. Did you know it was one of the first stops on the Santa Fe Trail?

Tuesday, Sept. 22 we went to Salina so Bill could get a coritsone shot in his knee. We had lunch with my aunt and my brother,Rick and sister-in-law Gail which was a quick but great visit.... I forgot Rick and Gail had to go back to work...lunchtime just went too quickly!..we may not see them until spring now. .... Oh yea...we worked about 10 days in September! We liked working the 2 days on and then 4 off.

Bill and I went to a botanical gardens here in Wichita a week ago. It was really neat and alot of the flowers were done for the year but so many mums and fall flowers were still blooming...so pretty. We really enjoyed the butterfly gardens and didn't realize there were so many different kinds of butterflies! From large swallowtails to tiny smaller ones!
I also wanted to go to the zoo here but we may not make it.....

Last Friday, Oct. 2nd we drove with our friends John/Patsy to some former camping club friends who live in Hesston. We really enjoyed visiting with them and seeing their beautiful home in the complex where they live. They live in an Independent living community which is a duplex... We really miss seeing them in our club but they have sold their motorhome. We were glad to hear they are planning on coming to the valley this January so hopefully we will see them again.

Last Saturday, we drove to Topeka to see Brayden play flag football and also Bryson has a soceer game. It was on the same sports complex and the weather was great although a little chilly. The boys did great and it was fun to watch them play. They both are getting so big! Of course the wind was blowing which made it cooler. We went to Erin's for hamburgers and then we headed to Lawrence to take some things to Megan's for storage. We drove back to Wichita from their house. Jeff has bronchitus and we decided we didn't need him to share! :)

We worked around here today and got some groceries as we will be working tomorrow and Tuesday.

The month of September really flew by fast! Fall is here....the leaves are turning color and falling from the trees here in the park. We plan to leave here on Oct.14th to go to Topeka for a week.

That about catches us up for now ....
hang with me.... I will be writing more now in the evening's..
I have finished a sweatshirt jacket and put my sewing machine away for now.... still more projects to finish but no time for now!

Until next time!
