Its been a long time since Joyce has wrote on her blog, so I will see what I can do with it.

This winter has been a busy 6 months. It is winding down to having just 3 weeks to go until we hit the road.

We will head back to Kansas, can't wait to see the kids and their families.

We will be there for around 6 weeks, then head back up to the Black Hills, for the summer. We really like that area. We also like working at Crazy Horse. If you are ever in the area make sure you stop by Crazy Horse. It is very impressive.

Joyce has been through a time going to the Dr's. She had her heart taken out and examined very good. LOL. By the way she does have a heart. Now she get to work and pay for all of the bills. LOL

Good morning! As usual I get to finish what Bill starts! :)

We have had a very busy past few months and it seemed we were constantly on the go.....

friends from Kansas were here and we did a lot of on the go stuff!

But mid February came along and I woke up early one morning with back aches, throwing up and feeling very dizzy and sweating a lot! So an ambulance ride I took to the hospital..... thinking it was a heart attack.... all tests came back normal and so after spending the night in the hospital I was finally released to go home.... with appt.'s for dr. and a stress test to be taken. So a week ago I took the stress test and went back last Wed. for the test results. Dr. Petein, who we both really liked and felt very comfortable with, told us that I had a possible blockage and he wanted to do a heart cath. We had yesterday open and so did he..... so here are the happy results ...I have a heart and it is functioning wonderful! They found out that the main LAD-don't ask me what that stands for--I don't remember--- on the right is supposed to be large and mine was small...the left one is supposed to be small and mine is large...something I was born with and is not causing any problems so not to worry about..... I guess after this episode I have found out that I am getting older and my little aches and pains that I used to rationalize away I need to be careful..... but I am doing great and ready to finish enjoying this wonderful weather and our friends here at Pueblo El Mirage!

We did not get to the Grand Canyon or Lake Havasu or Williams or Tuscon this year but with the price of fuel we are trying to conserve all the spending we can to get home! And now the medical bills are flowing in fast! At least for the rest of the year I am free and clear to go to a dr.haha!!

We had some sad excitement across the street from us on Thursday am.... we both were working but the motorhome across the street caught fire and burned! They both and their little dog were out of the MH at the time so that was the only good thing.... "stuff" can be replaced..... with the quick thinking of him and another retired firefighter no propane blew to cause unmentionable damage around..... So sad.... they do have a home in Washington and are not like us -fulltiming-.... We are just glad they were not hurt.....

Our time here is really winding down fast and our plans are to leave on April 1st and head to Kansas..... we can not wait to see the kids ....

So that about catches us up for now..... stay tuned..

Until next time!
