[rvgrammy1953]

Good morning, all...

Yep, up and going early....It's that ice coffee I drank yesterday evening that has me up this early....I do see a nap in my future today....but for now am wide awake...

Have laundry to do and plan to get it going early as the weather has rain coming sometime today...

Nice RV Park here near Shiloh National Park, TN.....found out that it's been here awhile, but under new ownership....lots of improvements going on to include a new pool that uses salt packets instead of chlorine stuff to maintain it's health levels.....owners state it's better for the pool and cheaper to use....it's considered to be a "salt water" pool....may have to check it out later today.....

Okay, coffee's ready and fresh fruit with some yogurt this morning...help yourself...

Have a great day, all...

Good Morning from a sleepy eyed lady... it is after nine... I have some packed up to move out this morning... I will meet my friend Trina in Goodrich where she lives... not sure yet about the rest of the day... I will find a place to lay my head and remember this past week...

Last night I took my granddaughter to a Chinese Restaurant for dinner... then to WalMart for some supplies like coffee milk pop have to have something to drink! We came home and unpacked and took care of things... then poor Shadow ran to the door of the house looking again for Morley... we all went in and Joy and I played a game of scrabble while Shadow munched on one of Morleys bones... I have not spent so much time with Joy since she and her dad Chuck would come to Normal for Thanksgiving... oh so sweet she is and next June she will be a married lady!

I see you made it through your first day back to school Ava... sometimes I sure miss the money! Lori glad you posted our start up call this morning... I already had oatmeal and blueberries... so will save the fruit for some other weary traveler... Carol you must busy with the large yard to mow...

This is one of my favorite places to drink coffee... have a super duper day everyone...

Good morning everyone!

Lori, I can't wait to hear about the next adventures you & Sultan will be taking!

Carolb, I've never had any problems getting here. Hopefully whatever happened is fixed.

Ava, so glad to hear you have an easy route this year.

Kathleen, you sound so happy and I'm happy for you.

This has been the week from you know where. Good grief. I mentioned last week that we bought a car that could be towed 4 wheels down and put a down payment on the base plate installation. We got a call early this week from our bank that the checks we wrote were bouncing because the money that was supposed to be automatically deposited into our checking account by our financial advisor was forgotten about. So we called our financial advisor, who was on vacation, and he walked his secretary through what had to be done to get the funds into our checking account. Fortunately, since we've been with this bank forever, they paid the checks and no one knows what happened but it was annoying, none the less. Then we hired our BIL to do some work for us on a piece of rental property and without notifying us or asking approval, did things way above and beyond what we asked him to do. This morning, I received an invoice in the mail for something I paid for with a credit card and had to get that straight. It's just been one thing after another. I know most of these things are trivial, but everything seemed to happen at one time and I was not a happy camper. This morning I turned in the tags for Dad's car and cancelled the insurance on it. One more thing done and out of the way. Whew!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

I got my hair cut this morning and I'm beautiful again. I can't stand it when it starts turning up on the ends. I have been to town every day this week. Hope tomorrow I can stay home. I was looking for a harness for my son's dog. He almost pulled out of his collar when we were trying to get him in the vet's office. All the ones I saw have the quick release fasteners and I'm afraid he could get out of them. Do they even make harnesses with buckles?

Irmi, I know how aggravating the financial mess ups are. With all the crap that is going on with stolen credit cards and ID theft our VISA account is closed every few of months and we are issued new cards. I only have one automatic payment on this account and I forget that every time they close the account that isn't getting paid until I send them the new information. American Express has started sending me an email every time I charge something which is fine with me. What I want to know is how these people can charge expensive TV's on a stolen credit card. If I charge over a couple of hundred dollars they want to see my ID. Our bank use to know us but now every time I go in there is a new crop of tellers. I wanted to transfer some money from one account to another the other day and you would have thought I ask to fly to the moon. Finally found someone that knew what I was talking about.

Oh, Irmi, I hate when those little things all pile up like that. Totally understand your frustration.
