A Good Morning to You All,

Was kind of stalling around here hoping that Soos would post first this morning. LIke she said yesterday, we both seem to have the same wake up and posting times and usually wind up with double posts or something Well, what can I say. I guess great minds are at work early

It's a clear morning out here and looks like it's going to be sunny. The clipper came through during the night as expected and dumped at least 2 inches of snow out there. So my waiting for it to pass by before getting out the snowblowers etc., was good planning. This morning I intend to do just that. There is supposed to be another front coming in late tonight with some snow ahead ofit, but will deal with that later. It's the advance of a warm front which is going to bring in mild air for next week.

Looks like it's going to be a great doggie walking day too. Yesterday we went over to the park and walked the campground road. Despite it being raked with the tractor, it was kind of rough walking in some places due to the high winds earlier this week, blowing and drifting the snow. When the warm air hits this week, it will settle it down and then when it gets raked, it should level it off. Ddn't know if it was going to be kept after or not since my boss is now gone, but our lead Ranger said she is going to keep after it. They don't have to do it. But they know there are some of us who like to walk our dogs in there, especially some of the neighbors around the park.

Nothing new as far as the replacement for boss is concerned. The position is state Civil Service, so kind of complicated to fill. They haven't decided which way they are going to do it yet. Either open it to transfers within the dept. or just post it as a job posting. Will just have to wait and see how it goes.

So, I guess it's time to get this day moving along. Got a few breakfast dishes to wash, bed to make ete. Be going out on snow removal duty in a while here. Then putter around the rest of the day. No spring cleaning till next week. Time for a break.

Morning Sue, (and Soos you snuck in while I was writing) Is a nice clear morning here at St. Joseph Penisula State Park. White sand beaches with a wind that is quite variable. Last night it did blow all night, normal for the penisula, this morning it is less than 5 and up to 10 at times. Will go make a last walk on the beach and then come back and pack the rig and hit the road. Headed for another state park, Ochlockonee. Will spend the night there and then head to Silver River Sunday. Should be in the 60's here in the panhandle of the state.

I had lots of good birding Friday at St. Mark's NWR and a pleasant drive over and back. RV parks have lots of folks in them, but they aren't full and the same is true with this state park. But some of these sites aren't very accommodating. Lots of folks walking around bundle up against the wind as it is a cold cutting wind.

Coffed is again, French Vanilla, and the breakfast today was cheerios. Hopefully this post will make it thru. Yesterday's left the computer said it was posted, but not there. Go figure.

If you are on the road, be safe. If you are sitting in a camp spot (or home) have fun, and then do it again.

Good Morning Sue and Soos... it is cool here 35 but not for long will be in the low 60s later... the sun is shining and the sky is very blue... will be a beautiful day...
Art (park owner) came to pull the water heater and he by chance saw a drip coming from one of the fittings... he said do you want an easy fix or do you want me to pull it and check it all out... I said easy naturally... I have a fan under the sink to see if I can dry out the cardboard that is around the body of the water heater... will know if it is working maybe by monday...
When it dries off outside I will scrape my steps... they are in bad need of painting and they are quite dirty inside... they are the wooden steps my son in law built for me last year... it is so good to have the grab bar fixed also it makes it so easy to come in and go out...
Sarah arrived in Georgia after her stop here to visit for a while... we had such a nice visit... sure do enjoy company!
That is about it for my day... what does yours hold?
Kathleen

good morning ladies
up and ready to start the day, have alot of things on the agenda as this is the only day I
can get them done until the next Saturday, and lets face it, not everything can be put
off. Main thing on the agenda is to get my extra stuff from storage packed into the
car and taken over to the rv. Its in the way here and some of it could possibly "disappear"
into the unknown. (think questionable characters) Also want to bring over my lattice panels
to fence off the ends of the back yard so the girls can get a little sunshine now and then.
I feel bad that they have to stay cooped up in the bedroom but we have to do what we
have to do for the time being. I'm keeping in mind this isn't forever! Also have to get the
laundry done as I have NO clean uniforms to wear now for the next week. So thats a must.
Would love to bring my little washer over here but it would totally get abused and misused.
Will be content to use a laundrymat and have decided the best one is over at the rv park
where I used to live. Also hope to get time to meet up with Ali, I've got her # and if not
today, then maybe tomorrow after church before she leaves town. I do have to work today
at 4:30 but tomorrow I go in at 1:30 so Sundays I like to reserve for relaxation and not
be rushed to get things done before I go to work. I've scheduled 2 days off from the
school district towards the end of the month and it was approved so I have that to look
forward to. Maybe take one of those days to scout around a few close by mobile home/rv
parks and check out my options. Have to start developing a plan.
Second pot of coffee is brewing and I'm about ready to get dressed and get on with the
day. Time to feed the girls. You ladies have a great day and be safe. BTW, we're finally
getting some nice daytime temperatures here.

Well...Herschel the pups and I woke up north of Macon, GA this morning with 29 degrees. Just got back from a brief AM walk and got to watch one of the other campers with a hair dryer trying to unfreeze their white water hose..... We aren't in FL anymore ...said Herschel. I headed north yesterday also. I needed to get far enough so that I could land in Carol's driveway in NC by mid afternoon. She has been going through such gtg withdrawal..... ...and apparently I had forgotten that my tax appointment for the first time in 25 years had been moved off of President's day and was scheduled for this coming Tuesday. SO....I need to get home to find out how much $ I still have in my "travel and fun" budget after settling with the taxman.... :=) At least it is sunning here and Herschel made me stop at another beautiful GA state park rather than Walmart. He doesn't seem to mind spending money when it means he gets to walk through a beautiful treed state park. Hope everyone has a good day.... We got the first part right, We woke up and smiled at the morning.....

Peaches and I have been out and about all morning. Well most of it - as it's still morning and we're back. I discovered if I turned left out of this cg, in 1/2 a mile I'm at the road that travels along the water - all the way into Fort Pierce. Going to have to explore how far I can take it the other way either this afternoon or tomorrow. Sun is out, windy and still cool, but a beautiful day.

We went back to the Green Market as I wanted another loaf of bread. Don't know what all I'll do with the 2 1/2 loaves I bought! Gasp. LOL And I got a danish, too - which is long gone. I got a loaf of French bread, one cinammon raison, and 1/2 of a jalapeno cheddar. I screwed up - wanted the whole of jalapeno cheddar and 1/2 of cin/rasion, but hey, was my own mouth that said it wrong. I don't care for raisons in my bread - so pick them out. Was telling the people with this wonderful bread there and 2 others immediately said - that's why I don't buy that kind. Maybe they'll take the hint and make some without. Ha - like it'll do me any good? I'm gone on Monday

The main reason I went back is because there's a vendor in the crafts section with handmade canes. I have a friend who has MS (among other things) who has started making canes - so I wanted to get info and take pictures for her (did). Will get those off to her later, or maybe post about them - but would rather save a post with pictures of my friend's canes

Okies, going to be a bum this afternoon - read, relax.

HaveTina, I'm not looking forward to when I head north - and I have a month yet! Weatherwise, that is as I am looking forward to where I'm going!

Well, I just missed my first earthquake!
I went into work at 8 for a meeting this morning and since my hiking adventure with my co-worker and her brother, was postponed until tomorrow, I headed back home and took a nap. Apparently, I slept right thru a 3.7 earthquake near Hemet (where Evie/Pooker lives) at 9:30, which was felt as far west as Carlsbad on the ocean, and in Temecula just south of me. If I would have been hiking this morning, I am sure I would have felt it, too. My girlfriend in Florida sent me an e-mail asking me if I felt it. That was the first I was aware of it! It didn't even hit the news here. But I guess anything under a 4.0 isn't worth mentioning out here.

Otherwise, it is 80 degrees right now and sunny! Have to go back to work for the afternoon. Have a great day!

GOOD AFTERNOON SISTAHS!

Well my coffee is finally done with. And in about 20 minutes I will do up the dishes, I'm heating water in the micro now for them. Blech! Will be doing house cleaning today too. Oops! Got to do the park bathrooms first thing after dishes then house cleaning! LOL

It's a simply beautiful day out there today. Bright sunshine, a super clear blue sky and a breeze! I love these kinds of days!!! But.... They sure do make me antsy to be off somewhere doing something! Not sure what? But something other than housework that's for sure!!!

Brent is breaking down his site in prep to moving up closer to the office. Sure am gonna miss him and his wife living in the site behind us... And Shade will miss his puppers. She goes over to visit and play with them. And of course to do other doggy stuff like P on top of their spots! Those 3 dogs about wear themselves out trying to 'one up' each other on P spots! Brent says that Kelly and I will have to move too! So that we can still be neighbors. NOT! Ain't moving until we head back to the Lodge in May.

Looking forward to getting our taxes back so that we can get out of here for a day! And also to be able to get the new tires for the TT. Need to buy a jack too. That is number 2 on the priority list to buy!!! Be nice to have new tires but need the jack to get the old ones off first! Then I will call the RV repairman that does on site repairs to inquire into the cost of doing the wiring on this thing so that we have outside lights for turn, break and running lights! Which of course helps out a lot not to even mention that then we will be legal to move too!

Soos, I love what you've done to the house. It looks so cozy and welcoming!!! Way to go! Love the view too.

OK, second dish of water is heating in the micro so it's 'almost' time to get my butt to work!! Hope everyone has a super great day doing whatever it is that gives you pleasure! Be safe everyone!
