Travel day

Today we moved from Americus to Warner Robins, GA. We're about 10 miles from Stephanie's apartment. I'm glad we're so close cause once she has her knee surgery (May 21) I'll be going back and forth all the time.
We got all set up and decided to go to Sonny's BBQ for lunch. It was pretty good. We've been there before. Their cornbread is as good as Famous Dave's (but not their ribs). We'll be here till mid June and then a stop over in TN for dr. appointments before heading north for the summer. We have several things planned this summer and I'm looking forward to them. Since we "sat" all winter and part of the spring it's gonna be fun moving around every week or so and checking out new sights.
I talked to Larry this week and he and Phyllis are leaving Mission and heading to MI. It's been very warm there and my fruit trees are loaded with fruit. Let's hope the birds don't help themselves to it all.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy day to all you Mothers out there. We've had another great week here. The temps have backed off some. We had some 90's last week and that's on the border of my comfort level. We're suspose to go back to the low 80's this week which is more in the normal May range.
Our time here in Americus will be up on Wed. We've had a nice quiet time here. After the month in Gulf Shores and three weeks of that was spring break for every elementary and jr high kid in the southeast this has been a nice break. I am getting a little needy for conversation, it's been just Reid and me the last two weeks and we all know Reid wishes I had someone else to talk to so I'd stop talking to him.
He's has fun golfing those. The course here is close and not pricey. We've tried out a couple of the local restaurants and they've been so so. Nothing to really brag about. We've had to grill going almost every night. Trying to figure out new things to fix is a chore.
Wednesday we move over closer to Steph. She and I have several things planned to do on her days off. We're doing Mother's Day on Thur cause she's gotta work today. She'll have a week to run around with me cause once she has her surgery it will be very hard for her to get around. She's usually off the leg completely for 2 weeks and then she can be up but very little pressure on that leg..she'll be on crutches and therapy for about three months. Let's all hope this surgery works...
I know some of our northern friends got some cold and snowy weather the last few days anyone wishing they were back in Mission. P&L are still there and it's so hot they can't do much outside..Every place has it's downside doesn't it.
Everyone have a good week.

May is here

Ok this year seems to be moving right along. We've had a nice quiet week here at this park and we liked it so much we decided to stay another week. We're were going to move up the road but when we compared the two parks this one was prettier. Oh the other one was ok it was just located by the interstate, It's in a pecan grove and we need our internet for work, and it was more crowded. Since Steph will work all next week and we wouldn't see her any we decided to just stay here till May 12. Speaking of Steph she did get some time off this weekend and drove out to see us on Sat. She spent the night and had to leave for work Sunday afternoon. BTW she said the drive from the interstate was more like 23 miles (I'd told her and previously posted that it was about 17 miles.) She said she kept driving and driving and finally found the turn off.
It's raining here right now but nothing stormy. Luckly most of the TN flooding was north and west of our families so everything was ok with them.
Reid had gotten to play golf several days so he's had fun. I think we have more rain tomorrow but Wed should be sunny again.
Hey TX people! I've talked to Phyllis whose still there and she said the temps hit 100 a couple times last week. They will be there a little while longer but most of the park has emptied out except for the ones who live there all the time.
We tried a couple of restaurants around here. One was Mexican and although Steph and I were ok with it Reid didn't care for it..yes it had gravy on his stuff. We tried a restaurant today that boasted best pizza. It was ok nothing special. Reid thought it was light on the sause..Mine was fine.

Middle of Georgia

Hey everyone. We packed up and left AL yesterday. Our time was fun there and we'll go back that way in the fall as we head back to toward TX. We are at a park in the middle of nowhere about 18 miles from I-75 and about as hour south of Steph. We don't have to be at her place till later in May and with her work schedule we wouldn't see her much if we were any closer so we're taking our time getting to her.
This is a very nice, quiet place. There's about 50 sites and it's full hook up. It's also a PassPort park so the rate for a week is very low. All 8 nights gets the discount rate. There's about 10 other RV'ers here all spread out around the park. The only traffic I've seen except for our neighbors car was the host golf cart and a tractor in a field behind us past a cluster of trees. There no street light shinning in Reid's window at night this week so that's very good. We are pulled in facing a nice lake with ducks and geese swimming on it. I've been told there's bass in the lake but I don't have a fishing pole. We're going to stay here at least a week and might decide to stay the second week too. Of course we're not too far from the important stuff, there was a walmart and restaurants about 6 miles back so when I need a shopping or food fix I'll be about to get one. It's a nice change of pace after the spring break traffic all over Gulf Shores.
We were a little surprised at the cool temps. We've lived in GA before and getting to 46 overnight last night was a tad of a surprise but it warmed up nicely today for us. After tonight our lows should stay in the mid 50's but the cooler days and nights means I can keep my windows up longer.
Chat later

Next Stop

Our time in Gulf Shores is winding down. We'll be leaving in the morning for GA. We've had a blast here and hung out with some more "E" friends. W&G arrived last week and checked out the area. They've moved on out already. T&J will be here till May sometime before heading on. This is a nice area for spring and the weather was great except for Saturday when the storms came rolling through but luckly for us the rough stuff was north of us, we had some thunderstorms and heavy rain but that was it and only about 3 days total did we have any rain at all.. Good for us bad for farmers...
Not a lot of plans today, we're going to met for one more Shrimp Basket lunch with Tim and Jean before we leave town and the rest of the afternoon will be spent putting things away. We're stopping somewhere overnight and then on to a town called Americus for a week. We've never been there so I don't know what's to do there except the rv park is on a golf course..wonder who found this park...
that's all for now.

Another great week

Times does fly. We've had another great week in Gulf Shores. I have a walmart approx 4 miles from me north and south..so I have my choice when I pull out on the the highway to go left or right. Right is toward the beaches so it's usually crowded going that way but who cares right. We saw Tim and Jean a couple times this week. On Tues we drove into Pensacola with them to Famous Dave's. Got to visit Dave when we're this close. Reid went golfing some this week and I've stayed busy shopping, reading and walking and watching baseball.
Danny got his test results back from his third of four state test for teaching so he has one test to go and another mon and a half of classes then it's a semester of student teaching and he's ready to begin his career. Yeah for him. We heard this week that our neice is having a baby so that was wonderful news. Steph's surgery is getting closer and we'll be headed toward her in a couple weeks and she and I get to pal around for a while..
I'm getting my hair done on Monday and I'll be taking Lady in for her spa day as soon as I can get an apt. As you can see busy busy busy...take care everyone
oh yeah....prayfully and thankfully Larry has some good medical news this past week.
G&W are on the move and heading our way...N&B will be getting on the road next week for their trip north.. I'm always praying for safe travels cause our friends and us spend so much time on the roads.

Friends Fun and Food

Hey everyone Happy April. We've got no complaints on the weather. We've had sunshine for well over a week with no rain and a cool breeze coming off the gulf and it's been great. Reid has Jimmy Buffet on the radio in the evening and something on the grill most nights. He bought a new grill before we left TX and he's been trying all kinds of foods. It's now baseball season and we can sit outside and watch the Braves play while Reid grills.. We won our first game and now only 161 more to go.
We had a blast with Paul and Rosemary and hated to see them leave so soon after we arrived but we've got plans to see then a couple more times in '10. Tim and Jean are still here so we see then several times a week plus our weekly (at least) meeting at the shrimp basket. We went there on Monday night. We also tried the Mellow Mushroon again with them on Sat. they hadn't been before and really liked it too. I want to try a couple more places while we're here but we've got plenty of time.
I went golfing again and it was not pretty. I hadn't been in a long time and I can tell it's one of those things that requires lots of practice. I've got someone lined up to go with weekly once we're back in Tx so I think I'll wait till I can go more often and try to learn.
I can't finish till I say Go Duke...they've been my (and Danny's) team since 91 and I was so happy they won the National Championship Monday night...
