May 10

I'm so bad..I'm sorry I haven't posted..there's been various reasons I haven't posted and I'll get to that..I will update the past couple of months. We left Mission on March 23 and headed to San Antonio for a week. It rained most of the time we were there. We did try a couple of new restaurants while in town. San Antonio still holds the record for most favorites restauarants. The first one was called PoPo's and it's famous for it's plate collection. The decorative plates are hanging all over the walls and they have over 2100 in their collection. The food didn't disappoint. It was fantastic. On another day we met Bobbie at a fish and chip place but it's been over two months and I can't think of the name of it right now but it will come to me later.
Once our week was up we headed toward Tennessee. We droved toward more bad weather..In fact the weather was wet and dreary and cold for the next several days. We arrived at the state park in TN on Apr 7th..To our surprise, the powers that be had raised the rates from 17.00 a night to 25.00 we thought that was awful but we stayed cause we were waiting on a rally to begin later in the month. By this time we'd already met up with Bob and Nancy..they had been spending the winter in Fl and were now ready to start heading to MI.
Several of the people attending the rally arrived early so we talked and laughed for a full week with friends from all over the country. I'd have to say the highlight of the rally was the last night when the stand up comedian performed. (nuff said)
We left the state park and went to a membership park with Bob and Nancy for a week before each of us headed our own way. We got to the rv park near our home area on April 28. I've spent the last two weeks visiting friends and family. Last Sat we went to our favorite rib restaurant...Famous Daves...Hadn't had that since Nov so we really enjoyed that.
The weather has be ok..mild temps but plenty of rain. We're expecting more storms after midnight tonight.
During all this traveling and visiting we've done, my computer crashed...I'm rough on computers...so there was several days I didn't have a computer, it felt like months but Reid said it was a few days. so there's my reasons for not blogging in a while..
The rest of the month is going to be busy too, we have some appointments this week, then next weekend we're heading to Atlanta...to see my kids...they both have free weekends at the same time so we're meeting up with them on Sat and seeing a Braves game together on Sunday. I can't wait. It's been a long time since the four of us have been together. At the end of the month our niece is getting married and there's going to be lots of family in town for that so that will be fun.
that's it for now.
