Family Bowl

Yesterday was the annual Family Bowl. Three games were bowled, the first two were serious and the last was a crazy bowl. As you see in the pics Doc is the throwing the ball thru Paige's legs. Lot's of laughs! The meal and fellowship could not be held in the church basement so Sandy graciously opened her home to the clan. The evening was spent playing cards, board games, eating, and just visiting. So sorry Eldor and Aileen could not make it, we missed them.

Grandkids...

The grandkids off from school for two days and we are enjoying spending time with them. Tanner came today and helped grandpa and tonight we have Paige. Tomorrow Caleb and Paige will both be here. As I am typing this, Paige and grandpa are playing sequence. She has been anxiously waiting to learn this game.
I heard from Judy and they were moving on down to Okeechobee today. they are planning on coming home the last of the month. Perhaps by then it will be warmer here.

Back again...

I know it has been a while since i have posted but not much going on except for cold weather. We have been busy catching up on all the necessary things that have to be done to run a home.
On Tuesday he braved the cold weather long enough to pull the fifth wheel out to wash it. Both the truck and camper were covered with salt and scum from the road.
Tonight Doc and Ruth came down to play Sequence and they told us they are heading to Massachusetts with a load on Sunday. Can't say I miss it but I know he does. I just don't know if I will ever be ready for that again. One scare is enough for me.
What a pleasant surprise today, Doris, Clara, and Jim stop by for a visit. Enjoyed reminiscing, discussing "rving" and the enjoyment of retirement. They told me they read my blog and also a couple more cousins. ( Hi Jack and Ray! Stop by some time.)

Home, home at last!

Leaving Florida at 7:00am Saturday arriving home about 11:45am today, Sunday. We stayed somewhere just inside of the Tennesee line last night. Rising early this morning and leaving around 5:00AM to head for Missouri. Shortly after getting on the highway, he said, I think that's snow flurries, I agreed. But shortly after that it was the real thing, snow, coming down and the temp was 13. So thru Tennesee the roads were pretty well covered slowing us down. As soon as we hit Kentucky the roads were well maintained and not nearly as much snow.
Doc made it home Friday morning around 7:30, leaving Florida around 2:00pm Thursday. Needless to say he drove straight thru. They had planned on leaving that morning but had trouble with their brake lights. As you can see Arlin is under the truck fixing them and Doc is standing.
All that I can say is BRRRRRRRRR! But it is good to be home. We had a great trip! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Stormy night

We experienced storms in Florida last night. Approximately 50 miles east of us a tornado hit near Lady Lake with several fatalies. There was not a lot of sleep going in the park for sure, but we had no damage. Doc and Ruth are getting ready to pull out this morning. Sure hope they have a pleasant and safe trip home.
