Good Morning
Sorry the coffee is all gone as I was up before daylight. Did not sleep well last night and moving slow this morning so maybe a good thing up early.
Will get back on the road shortly.
CArol - so glad for the good news on eyes but sorry you lost your driver.
Big excitement for Kathleen today as she has several visitors arriving.
Better get some breakfast down and get moving. Looks like it is going to be a pretty weather day.
Have a great day.

Good morning ladies
district recess day, no school today but unfortunately have to go back tomorrow to finish up the week. Oh well, it won't
be long and fall break will be here Was up early this morning, not such a bad thing as I got out and did a little fence work
while it was cool. I could be out there now still working as its not so hot yet however, the dogs kept barking and all that
disturbance just fuzzes up my brain and I loose my train of thought as to what I'm doing on the fence.
Will relax with a little more coffee and then go back out. The spray bottle works wonders to curb the unnecessary barking.
Haven't even had to use it, they just see me with it and walah! instant silence.
Have alot of extra cleaning that needs to be done these next few days as so much got ignored while my arm was healing, now
its time to catch up. I'd be ashamed if anyone saw this mess.
Off to check a few more posts and then I'm gonna get busy. Ya'll have a great day and be safe.

When I'm traveling, my rv is usually picked up pretty good. When stationary - omg, you should see it, so don't feel bad, Ava. Mine is already a disaster here and I only arrived a week ago!

3 days off this week, then work 6 days on next weeks schedule. I've already gained a couple pounds from the food here, so need to start watching it much more carefully. Easy, actually, at breakfast - as the first time they had the wonderful French toast, I couldn't resist, but yesterday, passed it right by. I'm still eating too much, though - so time to work on that!

Safe travels to all those on the road - and be happy where ever you are!

Donna, did you save the other "new" tire for a spare?

It was supposed to rain here today but have not seen it yet. Hubby took car for service, he is driving a little finally. Next week is the final touch up surgery for his mouth.
Ava, my house is a mess, having spent the past 18 mo or so transporting and caring for hubby through all this, so I can sympathize on needing to get it done on clean up.
Beth I would love to hear more about your new place of work, what you are doing and about the area.

Much easier driving day and the GPS and I were in sync. Didn't have to change highways as many times either. Second half of the day was mostly in the Ozark Mountains and Mark Twain NF. Noticed only a few trees just starting to get a bit of fall color. Saw several large flocks of big birds heading south for the winter.
Had a little trouble finding a place to stay tonight. Lady here says it is the start of their busy season????? If for fall color, it is a bit too early. Not a bad little park but my site leaves something to be desired. Had really wanted to dump and try to flush out tank and clear sensor; no way here. Hook up on wrong side and down a hill, think you would probably need 30 feet of hose - I only have 10 ft. Okay since it is just for the night and I can wait another day to work on tank.
Bought gas yesterday somewhere north of Springfield for $2.97; gas stop this afternoon it was $3.06. Still better than when I left home.

Way past "good morning"!
The trees here are starting to turn, mostly maples, but the colors are vibrant and beautiful so far! The past couple years, the leaves basically turned brown and fell off quick. This year, with all the rain we've had, they should be awesome! So far, they are!

Gas here is still around $3.32/gln. Would love to see it go below $3!

Have the next two days off and the weather is supposed to continue being gorgeous! Upper 70's, dry, sunny, beautiful! I have a lot of inside cleaning to do (I am sure my place is at least as bad as you other gals have! ), but will try to get outside as much as possible to enjoy this perfect fall weather before the snow flies!

Hope you all have a great night! Sleep tight!
