Good Morning Zeee and all our sisters!

Whooooeeeee.... yep I'm keyed up today. I am going to be posting pics later,... won't be back home with her until late afternoon. Right now the Chalet is looking pretty forlorn, all empty and ready to be towed off to trade. But she's served me well. It's just time for more creature comforts!

Partly cloudy here, what else is new? At least I won't be towing a new camper home in a blizzard like I did the Chalet back in March of '04. Well, with the strange weather here in the northeast this year, ... I sure hope not!

Have a great day everyone,.... see you later!

Morning All! Today will be a busy day. Tomorrow morning we will finally be leaving. Going to Hershey, PA with stops first in Colombus, OH and Washington (?), PA. It will be good to get on the road. Yes we had DataStorm put on the motorhome. Will let you know how it works. Right now the trees are blocking any signal so will have to wait until we park tomorrow to try??? to get everything working - TV and Internet.
Our friend that stayed in the house last winter is going to be staying here now too. She'll take care of all of Bill's plants and feed the fish.
Today is last minute shopping, setting up the laptop with updates, doing laundry and gathering up all the stuff to go. Mostly the Alfa is loaded, just food and personal stuff to load. I always forget something - even with my lists. Well that is what WalMart is for I guess.

Good Morning Zeee, Cedar, Carol and the rest of ya Sistah's!
I'm up and about early this morning to hitch up the TH. Takin her over to a little town called Grosse Tete to http://www.accessvans.com for them to look at and measure so they can tell us what kind of wheelchair lift they can install at the door. The ATV winch in the back of the garage area serves it's purpose in a pinch, but just isn't stable/safe enough to continue to use forever. He really needs an actual lift that he feels safe and secure on. So that's where we're headed today, I have no idea what it's gonna cost, I'm thinking somewhere in the ball park of $5,000. to $10,000. but I'm just not sure. Why is it when something is considered medical equipment they jack the price up so much, his power wheelchair cost $16,000. that's ridiculous.

Can't wait to see Cedar's pics later this evening!!

Little Winnie and I are sharing scrambled eggs and toast. Everyone had a walk this morning as it is lovely and cool. We've had so many days of high heat and humidity it's a pleasure to be able to go outside. Soos, I sympathize with your rain but I'd take rain and cool any day over not being able to breathe outside. I stay inside a lot during the summer.
I LOVED my vacation in Wisconsin and Michigan because of the nice weather. We did the SS Badger ferry over to Michigan and all but the last 45 minutes was ok, not some thing I would do again thought! We mostly played bingo and they had a Badger Idol contest. Hummm, yes I entered and sang 'Does Your Chewing Gum Loose It's Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight", but alas I didn't win! My DH would have jumped ship in embarrassment had he been along. We all had great fun and laughed from morning till night.
This past weekend I went to my high school class reunion. Wow, wonder how all my class mates got so old! Check out the joke section for a relevant post to this subject on age!
I've seen a couple of Roadtreks and Pleasure Ways lately in a price range I think I could manage but DH is so against it I hesitate, but one day I'll go drive one and if I love it will just buy it anyway!

Morning everyone. Been up and checking the radar cause they say storms are coming. But after looking, it looks like we are on the northern edge of the weather. However, it is cloudy and windy and we'll probably get some rain from it. We are trying to enjoy the last few days here in Iowa with son and family. Went fishing on the other side of town last night. DS and DIL both caught a nice sized catfish, but gave them to others who were fishing there.

Zee, I remember jacks...sister and I used to us a golf ball and play. I was pretty good at it but better at marbles. Was the marble champ of Sinabe Street! We lived in Okinawa at the time! I was such a tomboy! LOL

Rede...I remember that song! My sister and I used to sing it!

Carol, looks like I'm about a day behind you as we leave here on Thursday morning. Of course, if ex had his way we would leave tomorrow...and if he mentions it one more time I"m going to give him the keys to my jeep and tell him to GO!

Cedar, congrats on the new HOW! (Home on Wheels). Even if you only use it for long weekends and vacations!

Okay, gots to go...catch up with you all later.

Just sitting here...today. Yesterday I washed the trailer...it was pretty dirty. It was covered in that red Arizona Dirt..that we had all over the truck after driving out in the AZ desert after a thunderstorm. The wheel wells in the truck had 12/-1 in of the stuff caked in there. When we hit a thunderstorm coming into Idaho...it cleaned out the wheels..but transferred most of it to the trailer. It was nice being able to just wash it up here at my brothers.

I think we will go as far as Yakima, and stay at the RV park at the casino. My mom is a casino kind of person, she really enjoys going and seems to be on a winning streak.

Good afternoon all. Soos, your sunshine and heat are stalled the the mid west. We have all of it and it can't get out, but we are not holding it back. We would gladly let it out but alas it has a mind of its own. We have had triple digit temps for the better part of a week. The house AC can't keep up with the heat, so the only sensible thing to do is fire up the AC in the camper and enjoy it there. If you can figure a way to lure the heat, you are welcome to it. I'm done.

Boy do I remember playing jacks and loving it. We use to play all summer long at camp and have contests too. I was actually quite good. We use to play on the porch of the cabin on a rectangle of vinyl flooring. We had such fun.

Going to get out of the heat (in the house) and get into the camper where it is cool. Take care all and hope everyone's weather changes for the better. Linda

Don't know about the rest of you...but I've been checking for pictures of Cedar's new baby all night!

Me tooooo! How dare her make us wait like this! She probably can't get in her front door, too big of a grin on her face
