Hello to my faithful followers.. I know you have wondered where I have been and why am I not writing in my blog. Due to some repairs that needed to be done to the RV, we were not doing much. We stayed with my sister, Pat, in Indiana for 3 weeks. Bless their heart, they thought it would only be 1-2 weeks and it went on and on..
When we did get our RV back, we headed to Victoria's house in Savannah. Well, they just rented another house in Metter, GA. Its close to Statesboro and that is a good size city. During the week there, we mostly visited and did some wedding dress shopping for Cahriana. We had a really good time, but when it was time to leave, we were ready to get going.
We went to Orange Beach, AL and met our oldest daughter, Michelle, and her family, Mike and Paul and Jon, their sons. We have a timeshare there and actually parked the RV across the street from the timeshare. We actually got to go into the ocean the first night and then were evacuated the next day. The kids followed us in their car and we made different stops along the way.
We drove to Hanceville which is north of Birmingham as Jon goes to college there and we would drop him off there on Thursday. We all did go to the Zoo there and it was wonderful. No smelly animals. It was great! On Wednesday we stayed inside and played Phase 10 and Mexican Dominoes.
Thursday Michelle and Mike dropped Jon off at the college and we all headed to Clarksville, TN. We parked there and ate lunch at a great BBQ place by the campground. We then quickly drove to St. Louis to see the Arch. Burl and I had been there, but the kids had not seen it. Paul was really impressed. He is 9 and all boy! We were afraid the sights would not be good, but when we went up the sun was out and we saw so many neat sights. After we came down from the arch, we visited the museum which was Paul's favorite thing! I was so glad to show them something they'd not seen. We took pics outside the museum and outside. When we drove home we got inside the RV and the RAINS CAME DOWN. Lightning and thunder and all! We played dominoes again!
The next morning we headed to Columbia, MO. We drove downtown Columbia and ate at Applebees. Do you know there are 3 colleges in that city of 110,000 people! The people all seem to be avid sports fans. We then came back and played Phase 10.
NOW, I know you are thinking, how b o r i n g! But you are wrong. We only get to see these kids every few years. We had some quality time and Paul will always remember living in Grandma and Grandpa's "moving house".
Today, they went on their way back to Dallas while we haeaded to Oakley Ks. My first impressions of Kansas were really good. There were hills, and cities, and greenery. About 1/2 way through, it was brown fields, wind turbines and lots of wind. LOTS of WIND!! Do you know what that does to an RV... SCARY! I have to say I was SO HAPPY to finally get to Oakley, which is a drop in the hat. Campground is really very nice! We are heading to Strasburg, CO tomorrow. We talked to our friends, Jerry and Jane, in Ouray, Co. We have decided to drive to Strasburg, CO tomorrow and then on Tuesday head to Ouray. It will be a long day, but we are so anxious to see our friends and start our new life. We'll head to Williamsburg, NM on the 11th. We need to be there by the 14th of Sept. Now THAT will be exciting!
Thank you ALL for reading our blog. We love you all!
