Jan 29 Thurs

It's me. It's been a while since I've posted so I'll catch you up on the past couple of weeks. This has been a busy month for us at the park. We had a spaghetti supper last week that we went to with Linda and Jim. Then last Sat the park hosted a luncheon and fashion show that I worked, had fun at that too. On Monday we went to a rv gathering. We met up with W&G but it wasn't what we expected. We stayed for a couple of hours then headed home. Wed was Reid's birthday but I had more fun on his birthday than he did..I sang to him a couple of times, I kept getting "the look" so I stopped singing. I went to one of the other parks for a swinsuit sale and met up with Wilma and Phyllis. We checked out all the suits and I actually found one that I liked so I plan to go to water aerobics next month when they start it back up again... Then later went to Tony's for ribs for Reid's birthday.
We got our palm trees planted this week and they look great. We had the water system hooked up again (the previous owner took it out when he put the rock in) anyway since he was replacing the watering system we went ahead and did the palms this summer too so it would be all completed.
I guess that's all I have for this post..check back later.

This month is moving along Jan 15th

Hey everyone...first of all Welcome Mary...my sister in law is on line again and she'll be keeping up with us as we travel so in addition to having a new email buddy she'll be following my blog..
This month is moving fast. Of course I'm staying busy with my rec center activities. Also my walking and biking is keeping me moving.
Our weather for the next couple of days want be tropical but compaired to TN I can't complain and family in TN wouldn't want to hear me complain about 60 degree weather when they are having 20's as highs.
I worked the craft fair on Tues and that went fast..I did get to check out some of the booths and found a cocker spaniel lapel pin so it was worth the trip.
We are planning to play cards on Sat with G&W so that will be fun..maybe someone will win besides W. Is she good, lucky or does she cheat as others have said....I haven't figured it out yet. I leaning toward she's just good....
We have a Spaghetti supper to go to on Tues and that's good, any night I don't have to fix supper is good,
I hope I'm not boring you all, but during the months that we don't travel this is our life. I've been busier than I thought I would be and that's made the time go fast..
have a good rest of the week.

Where's the sun

We've had beautiful weather for several days now with high's in the 80's and sunny with winds in the calm to slightly breezy range.....till today..yesterday was 86 and today 56. I never saw it higher than that..what a different it makes. It wasn't windy today but it was dreary..cloudy and gray...the up side is it's suspose to be better tomorrow and sunny and 80's again by Wednesday so we can handle a gray day here and there right...
We played cards on Saturday with some friends. We had a great time and made plans to get together later in the month to do it again. We also decided to go to the RV net get together later in the month with them so that will be fun.
I started walk aerobics at the rec center this morning. I've never tried that before but I want to give it a shot. It was fun and I'll have some muscles tomorrow that aren't going to want to work. We're meeting 3 times a week and there was a good turn out for the first day. I had to rush home and get my shower and get back to the office by 10 for my volunteering. I also had to set the alarm clock to get there on time...it starts at 8:15 but I want to do it so I'll get myself up in time to go...I need to go to bed earlier at night to make those early days. The office was busy, it always is on Mondays but I see lots of people that have a simular hobby as mine....talking....what a way to spend a couple of hours..
Reid was hungry when I got back and was wanting shrimp and fries and we have two places that we like so we decided to go to the Riverside cafe..on the way over I start thinking that it was closed on Mondays. On the way over we decided to see if Larry and Phyllis arrived and sure enough they we in and still sitting up. So we asked if they wanted to go to lunch and they did so we head to Riverside...yes it's closed...that's ok there's always Eric's right...so we get to Eric's and it's looking empty. the Lady that owns (owned) it was outside washing windows and she told us they'd sold the business and the new owners would be opening it later in the week. We really loved their shrimp baskets so we're going to check it out in a week or so and see if the food is still good. We're glad the owners were able to sell it..they had planned to keep it open during the winter texas season and close it if they couldn't sell so that's good for them. By now it's almost 1:30 and we're still hungry so we head to Granny's and had a late lunch early supper. We each had something different and it was all good. Reid had a bean and ham soup that was the best ever...he was raving about it so I had to sample it too and it was very good. We dropped on Phyllis and Larry and headed back home. The rest of the day was spent inside cause it was too cold outside...boy it hits the 50's and we hibernate..

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. 2008 was a great year and I pray that 2009 will be too. We saw several states this year. TX, MS, TN, GA, KY, IN, MI, and OH. We visited family and attending our niece's wedding in TN, we were with Stephanie in GA for her knee surgery, we also attended 2 Everest rallies and a family reunion. We visited with friends that we've met while traveling along the way. yes also during all this Reid worked some too.
We had a quiet New Year's Eve. We invited Linda and Jim over for supper. We hung out here all night. We had a nice fireworks show that Mexico put on. The fireworks started about 7ish and went on till after midnight. You could see the fireworks real good from our place and you could hear the music and the partying too. Lady sat on the front seat and watched it all.
I spent the day watching football and Reid golfed. The course has gotten so crowded it's hard for him to have fun. We don't have a lot planned for this week. Things are getting busy at the rec center and I'm going to have a lot to keep me busy with my volunteering this month. We're having supper, a fashion show, a craft fair. We're also going to an RV net get together later in the month so I shouldn't get bored in Jan.
Again everyone have a great year.
