Good Morning ladies,
The next to last weekend of March has arrived. Like that's really big news And it's cloudy and cooler here this morning. Back to more March like weather for a bit here. We really enjoyed our nice "summer" while it was here and are not complaining if it gets cooler again. That was a nice blessing for us in Northern Michigan to have had that beautiful weather this time of year. Gve us a chance to do things that those of you in the warmer climates take for granted as part of your everyday lives, like going to beach, bike riding, wearing shorts and t-shirts, being out working in your yards etc. the only thing we don't have to worry about though is floods, tornados (maybe one or two a year if that), hurricanes, earthquakes (could hapen) etc. Certainly hope that those of you in the path of the storms and heavy rains are all okay this morning as the front moves eastward. Am holding Vickie and Ronnie in my prayers, that they don't get flooded out again.
Nothing much on the agenda here today. Thinking of doing some shopping up town and seeing if I can find myself a pair of work boots yet. Did spot a pair that might work and want to go try them on again. If not, good old LL Bean will be getting an order from me. And my poke my head in Hobby Lobby, where else, and see what's up in stickers etc., for my next sign, the pan of which is not in my head yet, other than the wording. Need to get some new spark plugs for my lawn tractor too as it's going to have to get to work before long.
I'm glad to see that Judy has put a deposit down on her "new home". Makes me want to get out and get on the open road that much more myself. But I have a S&B here yet and I don't think I want to travel without some "roots" behind me. So I have to get busy looking around and making some decisions here. Yeah, I know, you've heard this all before and it's getting to be a broken record. That trip out west is really tugging at me, but I wanted to do it for my 65th birthday in two years. What I really need to do is, figure out how I want to travel. I guess I am being chicken, BWAAACK, BWAAACK, in pulling a TT all over the country, but I know there are others of you ladies doing it and Mitch is taking hers all the way to AK. The one thing I am glad for right now, is the fact that i don't have two motor vehicles sitting here as the Michigan Castrophic Claims Assoc. is raising rates 21% on our car insurance starting July 1st. Another little pool of green to shell out Hecdk, maybe I should just get a van, put a bed in back, stuff the porta potty in a corner, put in some storage bins and vamoose
BJ, when are you going to get that rig of your out on the road? Not seeing anything with it sitting there gathering dust. Seems like Christine was supposed to be taking her "new to her" 5er out this coming week too. Tina is taking the "short bus" to get some repairs made before she takes off for AK. I'm getting excited for you ladies who are going to be taking that trip. I know how excited it was the first time I was heading "North to Alaska" too. I can't explain the feeling. You will know what it is when you get there, see the sights and then head for home. It's a special place. And CArol, you mentioed having a neighbors son cut your grass while you are gone. Thought you were selling the place?
Well, I'm heading out of here. Just wanted to check in, do some rattling off and head on out. Hope you all have a nice day, no matter what, although those if flood prone areas and one the road, please stay safe.
