I want to get you guys caught up on our last couple of weeks but first I want to say that I love birthdays and I believe a day isn't long enough to celebrate, I like to celebrate for the week, so George, I hope you're celebrating all week long..
We left WW on the 13th and headed to Standish, MI There's a membership park there that we wanted to try out.. We want go back. We couldn't get a decent cell phone or internet signal. Reid still has to work, you know. Anyway we endured the week. We checked out a couple of restaurants. The North Forest Cafe was good. It was one of those local little places that everyone goes to. Then we tried the Pizza place across the street..The food was good but they put banana peppers on Reids pizza and he didn't care for that.. That was about it for that city.
The next week we went to Alpena, Mi. We met a couple in Mission that live there and wanted to stop in to visit with them. We had a great week, Phyllis and Larry showed us the hightlights of their town and we toured the lake on their boat. We grilled out at their place and checked out their favorite bar. We had a blast. We stayed at Campers Cove RV park and it was nice. We did have internet and cell phone but get this no TV no Sat TV...wow tough week. Lucky for me we were busy with friends and didn't miss the tv too much.
We headed back to WW on Sunday where we had a cookout with Nancy and Bob and Cheryl and Danny. Both of those couples had to leave for their week out so we'll be by ourselves the rest of this week but they'll be back next week.
Reid is golfing today and I've been chilling here blogging and reading.
Everyone have fun ok

July 7 Monday
July already..where has this year gone. We've had a fun week. The weather has been good and Reid even had a jacket on in July..we've had some rain but it's not been bad. The holiday weekend was fun and we just sat around the campground and enjoyed it. The park put on a fireworks show which was real good. It probally lasted 30 minutes or longer. Lady didn't have as much fun during it as we did.
We found this Mexican Restaurant on Thursday called Borders Cantina and it was real good. We've had problems finding what we consider good mexican food but we both liked this place.
Reid and Bob got in another day of golfing today before Bob and Nancy leave tomorrow. It's their out week but they aren't going far. This weekend there's a car show scheduled and we've talked about going..I believe we're doing breakfast with Bob and Nancy on Saturday before the car show. I think that's our plans. We're leaving on Sunday for a week at one of the ROD parks farther north before heading to Alpena for the week. We have friends there we met in Tx and we are planning on a visit with them.
I guess that's it for today. chat later

June 30 Monday
Summer is here and our schedule is going to calm down now. The last two months were hectic but I had fun. We spent lots of time with our family and I got to see the kids a lot over the last several weeks. Since I last wrote we spent about 4 days in Knoxville visiting Danny and Reid did some golfing. We left on Thurs to go to Spring Mill State Park in IN for a family reunion. We had over 50 family members there and had a fun weekend. We left Sunday and headed to our membership park in Michigan. Reid has been looking forward to getting here cause it's cooler and the humidity is low. He was not disappointed. When we arrived yesterday the temps were mid 70's and the low was in the 50's. Nancy and Bob are at this park for this week so we'll be hanging out with them alot. We did our grocery shopping today and Reid has a tee time for tomorrow with Bob. We grilled out with Nancy and Bob tonight and then a friend of their's brought over homemade cheese cake..it was terrific. Tomorrow is my day to get the rv set up. I need to get all the laundry caught up and my trinkets put out and just chill.
BTW...Stephanie had her followup today for her surgery and got her stitches removed. She will start physical therapy this week and will be on medical leave for at least another two weeks. She's tired of the crutches and is ready to walk again.
that's all for now

June 21 Sat
hey all..
Well our time in South Ga is coming to an end. We are leaving tomorrow heading to MI with stops in Knoxville, TN (go Vols) to see Danny and then to IN for a family reunion and then to MI for the summer. Stephanie had her knee surgery on the 16 and after a rough couple of days (for her not me) she's feeling much better. She can't put any weight on the knee till her follow up apt on June 30 but she's getting around on the crutches just fine..
The heat and humidity here has been rough for Reid (and also the gnats) so he's ready to head north.
Steph and I tried a new restaurant before her surgery. It's called Fatz and it was really good. Steph has a friend who works there and he was our waiter so we kept him busy.. One of our favorite places is Longhorn. We went there a couple of times.. they have great steaks..That was where we took Dad for Fathers Day. We went last Saturday cause Stephanie had to work on Sunday.. There's not a lot to do here so that's all to report on the area.
We'll get to Knoxville tomorrow and take Danny out for supper then start making our way to IN for the family reunion that begins on Friday..There will be family members from several states at the reunion some we haven't seen in years. that's always fun. On Sunday, June 29 we head to MI to get together with friends Bob and Nancy. we'll actually see then off and on all summer.. Happy Travels everyone.

June 6
No excuses this time I'm just lazy. I spent the time in Tennessee seeing family so I didn't have time to blog..We drove to Ga on the 16th to see our kids. Stephanie arrived Friday night and Danny came in on Sat. We grilled out steaks with them on Sat night and then took in a Braves game with them on Sunday. (we won) We had a blast..It had been over a yr since the four of us had been together..I smiled all weekend. We stopped at Applebee's after the game and then Danny had to head back to East Tenn for work on Monday.. Steph stayed till Monday night before she had to get back. Reid and I decided to see another game (Go Braves) on Tues. (won again) We left Ga on Wed and headed to Chattanooga for a couple of days. We went to the Aquaruim and really thought it would have more ocean life than it did..We left and went back to TN for another week till the wedding. Our niece got married at the end of the month and she was a beautiful bride. We thought we had our trip planned and was to leave June 5 for Mobile and then on to Ga cause Steph is having knee surgery in a couple of weeks. But the night of the 4th one of our air conditioners went out. it's in the mid 90's in TN, AL and GA this week so we need our air..The trip to Mobile is out and we headed to Ga to a repair place. We didn't want to miss being here for Stephanie and her surgery so we found a place here to fix the AC and we will be here till the middle of June..
That catches us up for now. I'll try to blog better but you know if I'm not blogging I'm out having fun..

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.

march 12
I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post..I've tried several times but kept getting an error message..It was this site not me..ok enough said.
Wow! where has the time gone..We've been in Mission since Jan 9th and we'll be leaving on March 23.. We have enjoyed this past two months here and want to get more involved next season.. Once you except that the wind is going to be gusty some days you've won the battle..Most days I can handle it but some days.......The temps have been great and who can complain about 80 degrees in Feb and March.
Our lot improvements are done and it looks great.. The rocks are down and the trees planted and the shed is painted..with the exception of some trim that Reid's going to work on today I think.
Most of our friends have already moved on but we have plans to met up with some of them this summer. We met up with some that we've known for a couple of years and met some new friends that we'll get to see each winter.
We have park wide "coffee breaks" on Thurs for met and greets and we're going to a St Patrick's Day supper on the 17th.. That should be fun..I'm a people person you know.
I have been walking alot this winter and riding my bike some too. Reid decided a couple weeks ago to try golfing again. He seems to be enjoying it. He went yesterday.
I will try to post more often now that we'll be on the move for the next several months.
