JAN 23 2010
Can you believe this here we are middle of January and 2010 !!!!! Boy I remember just being a kid and thought 2010 was SO far away and well here it is. What happened? Where did the years go? I’m sure there’s a lot of you thinking the same thing….. Well now it’s time to get caught up on the blog again. We left Tenn December 10th. Heading to Fla. Stayed in Fairview cg in Ga. for the night. It was a nice clean place and for$12.oo a night.Plenty of sites. We got a site near office in the overnite sites. Got parked and Dan was heading out to hook up water and electric and Angel snuck by him and off she went chasing a cat into the woods acroos from our site. So Dan goes after her I grab the leash and I go for her also.Now we both go after her in the woods with bob wire mixed in with the brush and yea we both got scratches from it on top of thick brush. We got her by the tree she put the cat up. She knew then she did wrong…. Now to get hooked up and get dinner. We were up and on the road by 8:00am. Stopped for gas walked the girls and grab a lunch at Fly J’s. Got to Dave Jones place about 4:30 Friday night. Dave was there waiting on us. Got the camper set up for the night,sat talked with Dave for a while. He went home and we had dinner and to bed. The next day we moved the camper into the shade,helps to keep it cool inside and keep the sun from fading paint on that side.Finished setting things up. Put up Christmas decorations and set my Christmas town up on the dash. Took most of day to set up but we got it done for now.Didn't do much for the next few days but hang out.Early Saturday morning we lost power,thought we popped a breaker but no.So Dan checked the wires and they were fine. But no power at outside outlet.Dan took the cover off and there were three small lizard things inside trying to stay warm.Well one got over warmed. So he changed the outlets checked the voltage and still not enough. So Dan,Guy and Dale looked for a break in the wire which is covered pretty good they found it.Got it fixed and we got power again…. Friday one week before Christmas,I went to the office had coffee with Dave while Dan slept in. Bob was there[he is one of the drivers that parks his truck at Dave’s] well anyways he needed some welding done on his truck and both Dave and I told him that Dan can do it and that he’s good at it. Well that weld job turned into a paint job..For the next two weeks he had his work cut out for him. Got our package from home today 24th.We had a nice Christmas opened our gifts from home and then we went to Chris and Joanie’s house for dinner it was a nice day and visit. thanks for the dinner. Then back home to check out our gifts again and have some cookies..ummm and thank you all..Dec 26 we had a burn out and there was a few people there. We had chicken,Cornish hens,potatoes,salad,bread,coleslaw and pumpkin bread. Guy brought his corn hole game and a few played.Rest of us sat around the fire and watched.It was abit chilly that night Helen and Guys mom had a blanket around their legs.But then again they are in their 70’s and 80’s. It was a nice night everyone seemed to have a good night. Jess and Megan came down for vacation, On their way down the car broke down Or so we thought that what happen. Jess gave us a call to see if we could help and of course that was no problem. We had a friend of ours Dean who just happen to be coming that way in his car hauler. Dean swapped her car for a Mercedes and in return they dropped a Cadillac off to a lady on the way here. No trouble at all. It worked out just fine all around. Thank you Dean.They seemed to had a great time while they were here.I hope so. For the next week Dan stayed kind of busy on Bob’s truck,He wanted it done by new years. And he did body work and paint job.It looks real good.We had another burn out new years night and again to much food but it was good.We all made it to about 10:00pm.It’s a bitch getting old.ha ha…..So for the next few weeks we went to flea world with Dean and MJ out to dinner a few times,did things around here at Dave’s. Visit with different folks. Dan,Dean and I went to Dean’s property on the west coast of Fla to see if it was something that we Dan and I wanted to clean up and take down a old trailer.Nice piece of property just needs some cleaning up.We’ll see if we do or not……We got new tires for the truck boy it needed them bad What a different ride that truck is now nice and smooth.Started working on things on the motor home,got the screen door painted black,fix hall closet doors, touched up paint on the steps and more little things to do but we’ll get it done in time got to enjoy the sun you know. After all we did have some cold weather for about two weeks.Got down to 17 a couple of nights. Not good for the fruit. there goes up the price on them.We even had a little snow!!!!!!!!!!! Dan was about to go further south..not much of that left.So here we are 23rd of January got up to high70s.Cheryl and Jeremy had their sledding party today. Sure hope they had fun wish we were there. Well that’s it for now I guess if I forgot anything or one sorry…love you all
