Are we through rv you ask

If you've read Reid's latest post then you know about the house.. Everyone's question has been "are you going to stop RV'ing" NO, why would we, we love it.. We just found a great place at a great price in a climate that makes us happy.. barely any rain, sunny most every day, very low humidity and a nice breeze most of the time.. We've always said we're chasing the weather and till this summer we hadn't found any place that we'd consider for once we "retire" from traveling. Then we got to NV and fell in love.
This is going to be our early summer and late fall stops each year and in between those months we'll be touring the north and south west, wintering So Texas and swinging through the gulf coast and south east states in the early spring to visit family, friends and doctors.. always have to see the doctors..
If any of our travelin friends and family are in this area let us know and stop in to see us..We could be in NV, UT, Wash St, Ore, ID, WY, MT.. those are places I want to tour in the next few summers. oh yeah also Northern CA too.

what are we up to, you ask

Hey everyone. We're just chillin'. We moved back to Lakeside RV park on the 5th and we'll probably stay here till it's time to move on.
We had window awnings put over the three main sets of windows and it's making a big difference. The shade they are providing by keeping the direct sun out is great.. I can leave the blinds up now with Lady inside without it getting unbearablely hot for her.. Yes, it's all about Lady isn't it.
I love this park.. it's got a walking path that circles the lake and there's birds and ducks all around. It's so cute to watch the ducks waddle up the walking trail.. (I think of the Aflac duck when they do that) These waddlers are use to people cause they don't move for you, they expect you to go around them and if you've got food they want it.. Oh yeah, if there's shade on your site you could have 4-6 just laying around beside you. They also hear the sprinklers come on and they come running to get in on the water fun. Lady, on the other hand, doesn't find them cute and likes to run after them.. They do move over for puppies and dogs.
Steph started working at Applebee's this week. So far so good. I wonder when the fun will wear off. I guess coming off of 14 hrs days and 4-5 days in a row this would be a fun job.
That's it for my thoughts today.

Happy 4th of July

I'm so glad I sent my Happy 4th emails out for the weekend on Fri and Sat cause I wouldn't have been able to do them if I'd waited till today. Yesterday morning on the way to Breakfast one of the lenses in my glasses fell out.. Oh I hate it when that happens. so we turned around and headed to walmart to have them fix it only to find that they were closed on Sundays.. Lucky for me they were going to be open today so I only had to wait one day.. I can't do computer stuff without my glasses or reading so believe me I was there when they opened this morning so I could get it fix.
We had a good fireworks show last night. Lady did great. She likes to watch them and she will get vocal but she did pretty good.. Once they get started she's fine but at first they scare her.. I sat her on my lap (yeah picture that) and she just watched, and cocked her head each direction, just so cute.
Lets see, change of direction in my thoughts...A highschool friend turns 50 today and a college friend of mine turned 50 yesterday...My brother in law, Brad and sister in law, Mary have turned 50 this yr.. Why are all the people "my age" turning 50. I just don't get it.. I was always the youngest in my grade and in my group of friends and the year is half over and they've all had birthdays...makes you wonder if I'm looking forward to mine this yr or not.

Is it hot in Nevada

Just ask Lady when the front air conditoner goes out. That happened on Wed night. We heard a hum sound and then the front unit wouldn't come on.. lucky for us it happened during the week before everyone shut down for the holiday weekend. Reid called this mobile rv repair guy and he checked it out and the motor was locked up.. He had to go to Vegas to get a motor so we didn't have it all day yesterday but lucky again for us it was only 91 degrees on Thurs. The guys fixed it today about noonish and we were cool again soon after that. It was 102 today and forcasted for 108 tomorrow. All day Thurs Lady kept panting and looking at me like "Turn the dang thing on" She's been napping under it all evening.

And now a Danny update

Too cool to have good news from both in the same week. Danny called last night to let us know that he'd been offered a full time teaching position. We're so happy for him cause he's worked so hard for it. He'll be teaching reading at the high school and he'll also be coaching Freshman Basketball and assisting with the Jr Varsity and High school team.. He's always wanted to coach and he's finally getting his shot on the high school level. He told me last night that he wont have to work one or two part time jobs anymore in addition to working at the school.
