How Hot was it today.

99 degrees. Today was the hottest day of the year so far. It just had to happen the day we got to town. tomorrow is forcasted to be even hotter..We'll see. This is June and it's early for this heat..
We left Ga this morning after spending 6 weeks there..6 long weeks. The first four were ok weather wise but then a week of rain and storms and finally high heat and humidity. Not Reid's idea of fun.
We arrived in our home county this afternoon. Theres no RV park close by so we're staying in the "big" town a few miles away. No RV park here either but a friend has a very large parking area at his business so we can stay here whenever we come through. We have 50amp but no water. Still it's nice to have the 50amp in this heat.
We just got set up today and didn't see any friends or family. By the time we arrived I wasn't feeling good. the dreaded sinus headache..I just took some med's and laid down while Reid finished setting up (what little there is to set up for a 4 day stay) then he watched golf and I napped. Hopefully my sinus headaches should ease up once we leave the south later next week. Tomorrow will be an easy day, we don't have a lot of plans just some golfing and visiting.

Almost time to leave GA

Steph is doing great and she's able to get out and about now. She will have appointments next week and she'll also go back to work. She's doing better this time at the three week mark than she was last year but they did do more grafts last yr. She's not ready for us to go but I baked her some brownies today to ease the pain of me leaving. (Ha)
We're glad it's time to leave. Today was the hotest it's been and it was 95 with heat index making it over 100. Lady was laying on the kitchen floor under the air conditioner panting...she was so funny..she was looking around at us like "is anyone else hot"..Inside the rv with both airs running it was still 86 degrees. I can't count how many times Reid said today it's time we were leaving so I just have to get him through tomorrow and I think I can keep him happy. We have spent 6 weeks in GA and we're ready to get on the road. We like traveling and staying in one place only a week or two. Our plans right now will have us moving around every week or so for the rest of the summer into early fall.
We were here long enough for the peaches to ripen. I had some locally grown ones this week and they were delicious. I'm going to pick up a few more tomorrow before I leave town. (by picking I mean off the shelf at the store)
We're heading to Tenn on Sat and will be spending about 5 days there. We have dr's apts on Monday and Tues and also a family birthday dinner and a wedding shower to attend for our neice. Reid want be attending the shower but I'm helping give it, in our free time we'll be visiting with as much family and friends as we can see. It will be a busy time but fun also. .
More later

It's June already

Wow It's already June. This year is moving on fast. I'm ready to get out of the south but only because my sinuses hurt so much when I'm here..It was painful when I lived here and I forget how bad it use to be till I'm back and the symptons start up again. The past couple of days have been so bad I can barely function.
We'll be in GA for another week then on to Tenn for a few days. We'll see some family and visit dr's then head out of town to start our summer traveling season. We planned our spring around Steph and her surgery. Your welcome Steph, Once we leave GA will be staying in one place for only a week or two before moving on. We have some fun stuff planned and we'll see several of our RV friends and some family during the months of June, July and Aug. Can't wait for that.
Reid isn't golfing much right now, it's either too hot, humid or raining. It's that time of year here. Lady is good for all you Lady lovers. she's tired of me spending all my time with Steph but as long as Reid lets her sit outside with him she's fine.
Tigger is hanging around too. He only needs his food and a place to nap so he's good to go.
I hope everyone has a happy and safe June. Email me and let me know what everyones doing.

to blog or not to blog

Did everyone have a cookout, picnic, or a party today. Memorial day is like the kick off of summer but I hope everyone remember to say their prayers for those who have served and are serving and those who paid the price of their lives for our freedoms..I did...I love seeing troops in uniform it makes me smile or tear up depending on my mood..I teared up alot when Steph was in Iraq and I'd see a uniform but right now it makes me smile..If I'm in a situation where I can speak to someone in uniform I thank them too. (I can almost turn any situation into a "talking" one if someone will stop long enough to listen to me.) Steph said one time that people she didn't know would tell them thanks for their service, or thanks for what you do and it means alot to them to know people care. Being here the past few weeks I see uniforms everywhere and no I haven't talked to all of them..
I was very American today. I watched baseball (go Braves) fixed brownies (didn't have the stuff for apple pie and "tried" to bbq chicken.(The Georgia afternoon monsoons happened again today about 5ish and lasted till after 9, doesn't mean they are over they've just stopped for now.) so I had to put the BBQ chicken in the oven and bake it. It turned out ok anyway.
I never really know if anyone is reading my words of wisdom or not but a couple of people this week told me they knew we were close by cause of the blog or found out about Steph's surgery update so it's nice to hear that people are reading and enjoying it. I like letting you guys know what's up with us, sometime it's imformative and sometimes just me rambling.
We'll be here at least another week. The rainy afternoons are putting a frown on Reid's face and I believe there is a chance of rain the rest of the week. We've had a good spring as far as the weather has been up till this week but it looks like alot of the country is having lots of rain right now.
I hope everyone had a great May and looking forward to a great June. We'll be on the move a lot more once we leave GA so visit often and see where we're at and what we're up to.

A surprise visit

We love it when RV friends stop by and tonight we got a call from an Everest friend of our, Rjams, he was passing through and found out we were close so he stopped in for the night. It was perfect timing cause we were fixing to grill and he hasn't had supper so we put another steak on the grill and had a nice visit. It had been over two yrs since we'd seen him so it was fun to catch up.. I did miss seeing his wife, maybe next time.

Danny did it. Yeah

For those who don't know Danny, he's our oldest.. He's been putting himself through college for yrs now.. He attended U of Memphis, changed his major, attended another yr, decide to transfer to U of Tennessee, attended lots of football games, changed major again..stopped going and works for a couple of yrs went back took some more classes, stopped again. (get the idea) any way he finished his last class today and we're so proud.. he want offically graduate till Dec cause he will student teach in the fall but for now his classes are done. His class celebrated with a cookout and then he and another friend played golf. great way to spend the day. Again we're proud of you Danny.
We're still in Warner Robins GA with Steph. She's doing good. We actually got out of the apartment yesterday and did some errands. Using the crutches isn't easy but she's pretty good with them. I took the day off from visiting with her to hang around the rv and get some things done. Reid and I went shopping for steaks and then out for lunch. (living the exciting life aren't we)
No real plans for the holiday. I'm spending tomorrow at Stephs doing all our laundry and watching the Braves play. I think Reid might be golfing in the morning and watching it in the afternoon.
take care

Surgery is over

The dreaded knee surgery is over..We have planned our spring around Steph's surgery and now it's behind us. This is her 3rd knee surgery and we're hoping the last one.
It's no fun to live away from family and not be able to get around without help.
We arrived last Wed and spent the week hanging out with Stephanie. She had part of the week off so she and I took advantage of it by having our nails done, shopped some and got a hair cut. We also grilled out some and Reid played golf. On Friday she had the surgery and today has been pretty good. Yesterday was rough. She was in lots of pain and sick. The anesthetic took awhile to get out of her system. But I think she's on the mend now. This surgery wasn't as involved as the last one so hopefully her recovery time will be faster. They grafted two bones in her knee, one on each side of the knee. (Last time it was three.) The dr said she can be driving within two weeks and she'll probally go back to work then too.
Not alot of other stuff going on. I'll be spending my time between the RV park and her apartment. The first week she want leave the apt much but I'll get her out and about some after that. It's getting into the low 90's here now and the humidity is starting to climb so it's gonna get uncomfortable for Reid real quick. My allergies are pretty bad too..for some reason TN, GA, and KY are rough on me.
We're gonna check out a couple of resturants next week that look pretty good on billboards we'll see how good they are.
