<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>It has been over a year since I had posted on my blog. The reason is because I had problem getting on it and no matter what I did or tried it would not happen. I have had so many friends wanting to know why I was not doing my blog, they wanted me to do it again. I did not want to start a new one as I had all the past memories in this one. I took my computer in to get cleaned out and re-furbished. I did not want to get Windows 10 as I like the one I have. So what I will do is start this year out with a catch up of the past year. Have a great week.</b></span></div>

<b>12-24 Wednesday "Christmas Eve"</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well started off the day at 12:01 AM.. I was in bed sound to sleep and I heard Herbie bark and I woke up and told him to be quiet... Well then I heard Dan calling me that he needed my help. I jumped out of bed to find him in his chair and not feeling well, light headed and weak and sweats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first thing I thought of was heart problems. He said that he had to go to the bathroom and couldn't make it. So I helped him up to the bathroom and then I quick got dressed and off to the ER we went.. I got there in 10 minutes and they took him right in and did the vitals his B/P was way out of site 260 some over 150 some. Then blood work, chest x-ray and C-Scan. 4 hours he got the results. B/P was normal, everything came back good and the final diagnosis was Vertigo. They gave him some meds for nausea and the light headiness.. When we got back, we had a cup of coffee and did a re-cap.. We Thanked Herbie for waking me up. I went back to bed and he stayed up for awhile and when we did wake up it was almost 9AM.. What a way to start the Holiday off. The rest of the day we had a low profile, I made snacky things for dinner, and we just took it easy and enjoyed the evening. We both are Thankful that it wasn't anything more serious..</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>12-25 Thursday "CHRISTMAS DAY"</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Merry Christmas.... Got up early and made a light breakfast for us and then got our HAM ready for the crockpot. Made a few phone calls, answered a few emails and Dan and I just relaxed and watched some Christmas Movie. We had dinner by ourselves this year. After Dan's incident yesterday, and the acoustics are not good at the clubhouse, it is better that we stay in a tranquil setting. Our friends Bette and Earl stopped over on their way back from the dinner and left us with a half pan of her homemade bread pudding.. OMG... what a dessert to top off meal. We had a nice visit. Ended the evening with a nice hot cup of coffee and a piece of warm apple pie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>12-26 Friday</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dan went for coffee with the boys and I went and did laundry.. Later we went to Corpus Christi to Harbor Freight, he wanted to buy a commerical paint sprayer. We both decided that it would be a easy and fast way to get our painting done when we get home. Then we took the island way back to Aransas Pass. We went to the beach to see how many fishermen were out and there was alot of them fishing on the jetty and inter-coastal waterway. Then we for a Dairy Queen, before we went to Roberts Park and sat and watch the dolphins and the boats.. We had a nice day, ended it with left overs from Christmas dinner..</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>12-27 Saturday</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over cast this morning and nothing really going on. I took Herbie out for his afternoon ball game. He sure loves to play ball, and it gives him time to run and get some exercise. Our friend Susan gave Herbie a treat. He knows which spot to go to for his extra treats.. It was another lazy day. Instead of cooking dinner, we decided to go out for dinner. Went for Mexican, it was good, and a light meal.. </div>
<br />
<br />
<b>12-28 Sunday</b><br />
<br />
Woke up this morning and it was raining, at time hard, and this is suppose to go on all day. Good day to stay in and watch movies.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">The week started off with windy, cold temps and of course rain.. Sunday night Nov. 23rd the winds were blowing so bad that the trailer was rocking and then came the rains..Herbie must be getting use to this weather, as he wasn't shaking, he just went and hid behind Dan's chair.. After I went to bed, he came in also, but had a baby with him...</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Woke up to nice sunny morning.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">I had an appointment with an orthopedic Dr. in Corpus. I have some terrible pain in my right hand index finger.. He said that I have 2 choices, have a cortisone shot or live with the inflammation and pain. I chose the shot.. OH ouch.. The other issues I have with my arm and pain going into my shoulder has nothing to do with my trigger finger, it has to do with the injury to my cervical neck discs.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What a beautiful morning. I got up and dressed and took Mr. Herbie for his walk, and then I decided that I would have my coffee outside. Read the paper and just enjoyed the morning. Neighbor Lornea came over with her coffee and we sat and visited and then across the road, neighbor Melvin and Eunice were up and about. Melvin had started his charcoal grill and all of a sudden he was grilling Chicken, ribs and chops.. Come to find out there were going to share it with their neighbors. Then they decided to see if they could move into a empty spot next to us. So, when they found out they could, everyone started moving things and Dan took our truck and hooked up the trailer and moved it for them.. Our early happy hour continued until all day, others stopped by and we had a really great and fun day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our friends from South Dakota called and wondered if we wanted to meet them at Pizza Hut and so we went over there and had dinner and a visit.. </span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well, it was a long day.. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #274e13;">I had a appointment early with the chiropractor and the weather was nice in the morning. After my treatment I decided I was going to see if I could get my hair cut at the salon in the strip mall. Yep, they took me and I really liked my cut. I guess I am not made to have longer hair.. I like the idea of having something short and easy to manage. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were up early and went to get some breakfast and then checked out of the Hotel and headed for Progresso, Mexico.. We got a parking spot right by walkway which was great. The vendors were just starting to set up outside. Dan was having his teeth cleaned. I sat outside reading my book. Then when he was done we went and Dan got a pedicure and I a manicure and then we went and had coffee and a roll at Renee's.. Went to the Disco and looked around and then we headed home.. We got back in Rockport at 3 PM and we picked up Mr. Herbie and came home.</span><br />

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was a nice morning, Dan went for his coffee time with the boys and I went to the Chiropractor for a adjustment. Boy, I sure do feel alot better. So I am not going to go 2 times a week, I am going to try once a week and then maybe every other week.. Came back and picked up Dan and we had some other errands to run. It was a warm day with humidity and that is OK.. Better than cold. I heard the weather man say that this is a mild winter. Lets hope so..</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made plans to go out to dinner with our friends Al and Carol who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. We went to Allegro Bay in Rockport. We had a very nice dinner and visit. </span><br />

It was yummy again.. Scallop potatoes and ham.. No sun today, cloudy, humid and rain off and on.. It was just a lazy day...</span><br />
<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We made up our mind that we are going to make a real fast trip to Tennessee to get another drivers license as we never did get the original one.. 2 days to get to Tennessee, one day taking care of business and then 2 days back to Texas.. I hate those kind of trips... </span><br />

Dan had his truck detailed out today.. They came right to the park and did it.. It looks so good, scrubbed the interior, washed and waxed the outside, steamed the engine.. It is so clean, I hate to even ride in it. It has almost 100,000 miles and looks just like it did when he first got it.</div>

On Sat 12-13 we are making a fast trip back to Tennessee so we can have our driver license re-issued. We got the priority package that was sent to the park with our license and other mail in it. So we are driving on expired license.. Not a good thing.. We plan on being back in Aransas Pass by Thursday..</div>

We bought a couple of sandwiches and some Beaver Nuts and we were on our way..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had reservations at Super 8 in Alvin, Texas, as we found out that there is a Huge/ The biggest bike rally in the state of Texas in Galveston. That is why we found a hotel 20 miles from Galveston. Later in the day and into the evening we heard a roar of engines coming in the lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What beautiful bikes.. We had conversations with some of the biker guests and they are so interesting to talk to.. We went out for dinner at China Buffet, well the food was not as great as other China Buffets. </div>

As we were arriving in the Port of Galveston we seen our ship in already and we were getting excited. Got to our parking lot and was ready to head for the ship. This was sometime around 9:30 AM. The bus driver said that it was going to be crazy today.. What is a 5 min drive to the ship has been about a 20 minute because of the Bike Rally. We were early so it wouldn't be that long, but they have to take another route. All along the drive along the terminal road was filled with Vendor tents and semi's with advertisements and BIKES.. Wow.. We were able to go right in and get checked in and then the wait to board the ship might of been about 45 minutes. <br />

We were at the dining room one morning for breakfast and there was 8 of us.. After 2 couples left, Garrett said to me. You and your husband were on this cruise last.. I said yes we were, he said I remember you and your husband... What are the chances that 2 couples on the same cruise last year on the same cruise the following year. We had alot of laughs and fun. I said to Dan, either we are a attractive couple or a butt ugly couple that someone remembered us a year later.. LOL</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We left Tennessee and the ride to Texas didn't seem that long.. Almost half the miles that we used to drive to get here. We stopped in Kinder, LA at the Coushatta Casino and we stayed 2 nights.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stayed at Gateway To The Gulf on Friday night and Saturday morning we had a short ride to Aransas Pass. It was nice to see friends that came and welcomed us back. There are alot of workers in the park. There also is alot of friends that did not return. </span><br />

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When we left last year we made plans to meet the Doggetts for breakfast on Nov. 2nd.. The bakery was so full and we met them outside and when Pat and Jim arrived we decided to go on the island to Moby Dicks and when we were on the ferry a group from Southern Oaks were on there and they also were going to breakfast so we joined them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After breakfast we went and got some fuel, and I had to go to my favorite store, BEALLS.. Oh my I was having withdrawls. Bought some tops and a pair of carpi's.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Afterwards we came back and got more setting up in trailer, took Mr. Herbie for a walk and then we went to the storage unit and got our stairs and luggage.</span></li>

<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dan started his routine of going for coffee with the guys and catching up on what everyone adventures were during the summer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I enjoyed sleeping until almost 8:30 am </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I got up and had my coffee I took Mr. Herbie out for his walk. There are so many burrs and stickers in the grass that the dogs find it had to do their business..</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I went and played POKENO today and it was fun playing with 13 gals. I won a couple of games but it is no big deal if I win or loose. They play 2 times a week. If I am around I will play, but I don't like to commit to every time especially if there is something else going on that I want to do.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Went to 4 O'clock happy hour in the park setting area. </span></li>

RAIN - RAIN - RAIN We sure have had our share of rain here in Tennessee.. That is OK though as they say that they needed it...The color is starting to change, but I don't think that this year is going to be as brilliant as Michigan is this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
We waited a few days after closing before we moved our 5th wheel over to the new house. Dan had a hard time getting the 5th wheel around the circle so we could back it up.. We are going to have to have some one come on in and re-do the drive.. That is something that we will have done when we get back from Texas in March..<br />

We went spent a day going and getting utilities changed over.. Went to get drivers license and they wanted proof of residency for 30 days. They just don't understand that we just closed on a home and came from out of state.. Oh well.. We got documentation now from Insurance company, and utilities and our passports. <br />
<br />
Dan painted the Utility Room and the Mud Room which is off the entry to the garage. It sure looks nice.. We are going to lay down some carpeting in the Mud Room..<br />

Our neighborhood is quiet and that is fine.. The home that we were looking at next door is still empty, the other homes are a distance from ours.. <br />
<br />
We spent lots of time at LOWE'S, looking at flooring, appliances, paints and etc. Our main goal right now is to get all the ceilings painted before we leave for Texas. Take measurements and pictures of all the rooms and decide on colors, wood flooring's and window treatments. When we get back in March we will paint the rest of the rooms and get the carpeting and have the rest of our belongings brought down here from storage.<br />
<br />
Herbie is not letting us get to far out of his site. <br />
<br />
On the 28th of October we pulled out for Texas.. We put the house and the work that needs to be done on the back burner for a few months..<br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>We decided that we had to hire a mover to move our stuff and keep it in storage until we find a home. So we went thru the house, and 2 barns and shed and brought everything into the big barn. Kept only what we want and put the rest in the auction.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Dan and I decided that we didn't want to be at the house for the auction. It would been to emotional to see our stuff being taken away by someone else. Our good friends Ron and Eileen and my brother and sister-in-law came up from Wisconsin to act in our behalf.. We took off for the day and did some errands and had a nice lunch. Come around 3 PM we drove past the house and seen that there wasn't any cars or trucks around so I called and was told that the auction was over with.. there were people still around talking and visiting. There was some rain but it all worked out well as most everything was under roof.. The end results was very satisfying.. So glad that we had the auction..</b></span></div>

We needed to get some stuff that the movers couldn't put in storage, to a storage locker in Tennessee.. We rented a U-haul trailer and with the help of friends got it loaded up and the next day my good friend Eileen went along with us to help drive (cause Dan just had eye surgery) and help unload the stuff into a storage locker..We had like 5 days before we had to be back home, so we could get ready to go to The Wisconsin Heartland Rally. It was a nice ride down there and the weather was nice.. Eileen and I did most of the unloading of the trailer and the last thing we took off was the granite rock that came off of my grandparents farm in South Dakota.</b></span><br />

On Weds we hooked up and headed for Lake Delton Wisconsin for the Wisconsin Rally. We stopped in Gladstone and had breakfast which is always a must when we are on the road trip.

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">Herbie still was confused why everything was being emptied out of our house..

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>It was time to leave the property. Dan had the trailer all hooked up, and I had my car full. Herbie was in the car and I stood outside looking around the property, remembering when it was all woods, and all the work we done, the small pine tree we planted and how it has grown to a big beautiful tree. The tears started flowing and I got in the car and was waiting for Dan to pull out. He was having his own sad moment and then we pulled out..Went 4 miles north of our house and now we are house less and living in the Key Largo. We have full hook-ups with 50 amps, but we have poor ell service, only 1 antenna on TV CBS, and our Internet is 3G.. Dan went and bought a Dish Tailgater and receiver, only to find out that there are so many trees around that we can not get a clear view of the southern sky.. Then he also bought a external antenna for the Verizon card and sometimes it gives us 4G.. Well things will get better..It is nice to be around our good friends Ron and Eileen and Herbie gets his Molly fix often.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>I had gone to the vein clinic as I have a bad leg of vericose veins. After testing, it was determined that I need to have surgery to take care of the pain. Well, I have to wear compression pantyhouse for 3 months before medicare will approve the surgery.. So that meant I had to order the hose. OMG.. 140.00 for a pair of panty hose..</b></span><br />

<b style="color: #b45f06; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: small;">My friend Eileen had made plans with me a couple of weeks ago to take me out for a going away lunch at one of my favorite places in Marquette..

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The weather has not changed much since we arrived in Elkhart, IN Sunday April 27th.</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>We took our rig in for warranty work at 8 am and then Herbie was along with us. We went and did some errands and then we took a ride over to Shipshewana. We went to the campground and went and visited with our friends Bernie and Judy and Herbie made himself right at home. Dan and I stopped at the Amish bulk food store and we had a wonderful ice cream come.. Hudsonville Ice cream.. Yummy!!!</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>It was nice driving the countryside and seeing the fresh born calves and baby horses. The yards were so nicely green. We got back to the Service Center only to find out our 5th wheel was not done. We had to bring it back the next day and they had it all day long again.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Our friends Ralph and Barb drove over from Kouts, IN where they bought a new home. We met for breakfast and then we went back to Shipshewana so they could do some shopping. I just love the Amish Bulk food store.. I bought stuff to stock up on.. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Got back to Elkhart to pick up 5th wheel, only to find out that is still wasn't done.. BELIEVE ME IT WAS NOT A GOOD SCENE!! I had stayed out in the truck with Herbie for almost 2 hours before Dan came out and hook up the trailer. It was cold and raining.. Got back to the RV park and Dan went to unhook and level up the trailer and the automatic levelers did not work. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Friday morning I made breakfast and tried to relax for awhile.. I took Mr. Herbie out for his walk around the park.. He really likes the walk and knows the route. We went and did some grocery shopping and then later we went out for dinner.. Still raining off and on..</b></span></div>

I have always liked Tennessee, and since we had been stopping in Tennessee to visit my mother on our way home, we have gotten familiar with the area and liked it. It is a very senior orientated area, lower property taxes, and Tennessee does not tax pensions. The winters are about a month long. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We got set up and then we went and picked her up and brought her back for dinner at Twin Lakes Catfish Farm Restaurant and Campground. We showed her our new rig, and then went over for dinner. The place was packed with customers and we were lucky that we got to sit down after a couple left. The dinner was really good. We got caught up with cousin's and friends and what Dan and I had done this winter in Texas. We took her back home and then we came back and put our feet up and relaxed.. It was a long day.</span></div>

Not that I really needed anything. I did find 2 things that I thought I needed. Went to the check out and seen that huge long line waiting and I decided that I really didn't need those items and we left. We went out to eat at Bravo's restaurant, a Greek / American flair. We all had Salisbury steak and it was very good. Then we went to Dairy Queen for dessert. Took mom back home and then we went back to our 5th wheel to let the meal settle..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Easter Sunday... I got up early and enjoyed my coffee and the bright sunny morning. I got dressed and went and picked up my mom for church. The Church she belongs to is a very lovely church and very friendly parishioner's. This is the 2nd time in 3 years that we were with her for Easter. After church we came back to trailer and Dan fixed us pancakes for breakfast/brunch. Afterwards we sat and visited and talked about our agenda for the summer and showed her pictures of what we did this winter in Texas. Well it was time to go out for dinner.. Dan took us to Longhorn Steakhouse and we had a really nice meal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Monday morning the sun was shining brightly, Herbie was snuggled up next to me. I got up and had my coffee. Dan and I had alot of phone calls to make this morning. Insurance Companies are a pain. One can not go without insurance, but they are constantly increasing. I was trying to get Herbie in for a bath, and no one answers their phone..It was late when we finally got ready to go over to my mothers, but she had gone to her BOOK CLUB meeting. I should of gone with her.. We took a ride up to Dale Hollow and looked around at the countryside. It was a nice day.. I saw my first Forget-Me-Nots. </span><br />

I got dressed and made some breakfast. I was still trying to get Herbie in for a bath, well, I didn't have any luck, so I decided that it was time for me to put him in the shower and I went and sat on the seat and I gave him a nice bath, cleaned up a few areas that needed cutting and took the blow dryer and fluffed him pretty. Now he smells beautiful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thursday was a busy day, got ready to go and pick up mother, dropped of our laundry and then took drive around countryside, stopped and had some lunch at Bravo's again.. Ran a few errands and then went over to friends Jim and Nancy for dinner. They had some friends over also, we had a great time with everyone and the food was out of this world.. A pot luck, more like a buffet. Great food. Herbie and Emme had a good time also, trying to see who they could beg some tastes from.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Friday was the last day of our stay, went and picked up mother and our laundry. We went over to the campground, where I fixed dinner for us and we got things put up and visited some more.. Hopefully mother can fly to Milwaukee, and help her friend celebrate her 80th birthday, and then work her way north. I told her that we will be around for a few weeks and then we will be able to have her stay with us. We took her back home and said our good-byes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Saturday, up early and hooked up and ready to head north. We planned only to go to Columbus, Indiana. The sun was shining and it got up to 70's. We were south of Louisville, and traffic started backing up.. Who knew that it would be 2 hours of bumper to bumper of trucks and cars. Very frustrating only to find out that there was about a mile of construction (pouring of concrete) that was causing the backup. We arrived at Water-n-Woods campground. It was a very nice campground, but it was mostly seasonal who are weekend guests. I walked Herbie and I seen alot of people sitting around campfires, lots of children playing and having fun. It was a family oriented campground and nice to see.</span><br />

We were headed for Fredericksberg Texas.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>I was looking for those bluebonnets on the way. We arrived at The Fredericksberg Campground around 1 PM.. Dan got all set up and we took off for a ride looking for those blue bonnets in the Hill Country. The area is so dry and this year it seemed as though the abundance was not there.We went down Old Willow Loop, where in the past they were everywhere.</i></b><br />

I laid face down and Dan was very vocal about him not watching me.. I had alot of help getting up, which I did not need. My leg and knee that was replaced got the brundt of it along with my left arm.

<b><i>Saturday morning, Jim Beletti and his cooks put on a breakfast. Of course he had his Athrea Frankenstien pancakes.. They are really good... For the evening dinner there was a Pot Luck and the meat was furnished by Explore USA. The BBQ was from Naddy Flats along with some sides and their sauce. The dishes that was brought by others were very good also.. Door Prizes were given out and afterwards games..</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>We had a meet and greet and everyone had to tell their name and where they are from. Shortly Pam Fowler came and asked me where we lived and then she told me her daughter lives in Trenary.. Only about 4 miles from our home. How ironic... We will be seeing her this summer.</i></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>This has been on cold winter. In matter of fact it is said from some of the locals that it hasn't been this cold in many years. Being not far from the Gulf of Mexico, it is normally windy here, but with the low temps and wind, made me feel like being at home in the Upper Peninsula, only we did not have the snow that they had.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>Knowing that we have less than a month before we leave, we are making sure that we are getting everything done. Some of the Heartland friends have left and the ones that are still here still want to get together.. So I did make out a March Impromptu event schedule, meaning that it is subject to change.</i></span></div>

We enjoy attending the rallies and we believe that the product is a quality product. We have owned many different makes of 5th wheels, and Heartland Industries really care about their customers. Dan and I had been asked if we would like to be North Central Regional Directors for Heartland. We thought that we would give it a try..Our states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, North and South Dakota and Nebraska. This summer will be a busy summer for us, but it will be fun. </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>WINTER HAS LEFT THE COASTAL BEND</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I woke up one morning and I wasn't as cold as I had been.. I looked at the thermostat and it was about 40 degrees. As I was sitting in my chair enjoying my morning coffee and watching the morning show and the local weather, someone has said that winter is over with here where we are. I was excited to hear that, but still quite leery.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>On the 7th of February I had been scheduled to go for a MRI on my cervical spine. I had been having some serious pain in my neck and shoulders. The MRI machine was a new state of the art machine and it was awesome to have it done. I did not get claustrophobic, and it was not one of those tight tubes that you had to hold in your breathe when they put you into the tube...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>I had my February schedule set up for the Heartland Owners Club monthly events. We met at the Butter Churn in Aransas Pass. It is a buffet with all homemade foods.. I like it there as it has a great salad bar, and their entree section has alot of vegetables and meat selections..</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Not everyone cares for it, even though once a season they do seem to come. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The next day Dan and I took our friends Earl V and Betty to The Valley and to Mexico. They are from Kentucky and have never been to Mexico. We went down on a Weds and stayed over night in McAllen. We went to our friends in Mission to pick up my cord from my computer that I left behind the week before when we were there. Earl and Sandy and Wes hit it off right away. Earl plays the guitar and Sandy and Wes showed off their guitars and before we knew it, he was sitting down playing one of theirs. Sandy set up chairs and Wes and Sandy were down pickin' right along. Wes sang some songs and Betty and I sat and listened and clapped.. We weren't able to stay long as we had to get over to the Flea Market before they closed. We wanted to treat them to a Gonzales Burger, but the time was getting late and we had to go and check into the hotel.. We always stay at The Dury Inn... Great place to stay.. 2 free cocktails for happy hour along with a variety of food for a light dinner.. Their breakfasts are really great and plentiful.. Just can't beat the price.</b></span><br />

<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well the weather had changed to a bit warmer and that was welcomed. The warm weather doesn't stay long before another cold front comes through. </b><br />

<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had a visit from a friend of mine. We went and met at Cosmetologist School, 50 years ago. I stood up for her wedding and then our lives went in different directions and then we would talk on the phone off and on. Before we left for Texas this October she called and said that she would be coming to Texas for a visit and her brother and wife will also be in Texas and she will be staying with them for a week. They will be in the Corpus Christi area and we both said that we want to connect again. Well, we did and we were so excited. We are going to keep in touch with each other and visit this summer. We took them to KIKO's in Corpus for some great mexican food...</b><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Vernon our tour guide in Nassau</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We had sun maybe about accumulative 2 days. It was windy, cold and rainy..I started getting a sore throat and coughs, so I was laying low..By the time we got off the ship, Dan was starting to cough and not feeling to good. Thank goodness we did not acquire the flu virus.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We enjoyed going to Key West as we had never been there, and did a Hop On, Hop Off Tour. We hopped off for a frozen key Lime Pie on a stick dipped in chocolate, then hopped on again and hopped off for drinks at Margaritaville, then again hopped on and then a few stops later hopped off for lunch at Hard Rock Cafe. It was OK, but I most likely would not go to another one.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>We did not get off ship in Freeport Bahama's.. There was nothing there for us to see, at least what we were interested in. The Port didn't even have anything attractive looking...Dah!! The there was Nassau, Bahama's. We got off the ship, the sun was shining for once, but it was still very cool out. We walked out of the port area and then we were deciding what we were going to do, and a cabbie came and talked us into going with him for a tour... The price was reasonable, and yes we had a great time with him..He told us about the culture and we even stopped at a liquor store and we bought a bottle of beer to drink in the cab, oh yes, you can drink in a vehicle.. and we bought a bottle of rum called "Hot In The Hole" LOL we have not opened it yet.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When we were arriving into the port of Galveston, we had to anchor out in the gulf due to fog... That was the 2nd time that we had to wait before we could dock.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So when we got home, we both stayed indoors, other than taking turns walking Mr. Herbie, for a week.. Stayed warm and had soup and tea.. It is amazing what soup, tea and rest does.</b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>On February 2nd we went to The Valley,(Mission) for a few days. We stayed with our friends Wes and Sandy, well they are more than friends, they are like family. I called and ask if the B&B has an opening for the day(s) we would like to come, and 99.9% of the time it is available.. They welcome Mr. Herbie, also. Sunday night we went to a show at one of the RV parks and seen the Gold Wing Express. What an awesome show.. The weather was still cold, and and overcast down there.. On Monday Dan and I went to Mexico and had fun walking around. Even though the weather was cold, there was a good amount of people in Progresso. Crowded stores and restaurants.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Weds. (2-5) we went to an Heartland Open House at Ron Hoover RV.. We made arrangements to meet friends that we have not seen over 10-11 years. We had a great visit and invited them to come to our home in Michigan this summer for a visit. It was nice to catch up with them about other friends that were Good Sam members. Seeing them warmed my heart quite a bit. We reminisced about the good ole days and how appreciative every one was for all the efforts that Dan and I made as Good Sam Assistant State Directors.. We talked about the Regional Samboree's that we put on and also The State Samboree that Dan and I were in charge of hospitality...Those were great fun times.. Unfortunately, alot of the members of the Chapter that I formed, has passed on, their are still alot of fond memories of all the fun and friendships that were made. </b></span><br />

The traffic was horrendous, bumper to bumper and streets were closed off, so we decided that we would come back the next night. We drove along the lakefront and seen a few decorations and the Corpus Christi Christmas Tree and the lighted bridge and of course the Lexington.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was 2 Turkery's, 2 Hams, 2 Prime Ribs, with alot of sides to go with them. We were going to come back after dinner and take Herbie to the Beach, but Dan and I had some wine with Dinner and when Dan has alcohol, he does not drive... So maybe during the weekend Herbie will be able to run on the beach..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After dinner we came back and took a snooze and I called my brother in Wisconsin, and I had a great present, my Nephew Dan was there having dinner and I got to talk to him and wish him a Merry Christmas. I had not talked to him in years. I always had a special place in my heart for him, but circumstances kept us estranged.. I hope that 2014 will change that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So this will be the last Blog for 2013... Hopefully I will get back on track for 2014 and do it on a regular basis..</span><br />

Up early and when Gene and Linda arrived, we left and headed for Salty Dogs to drop off Herbie and Marcella at the boarders. Then we headed down to the Valley.. We went to Don-Wes Flea Market and walked around. We bought some watermelon and a pineapple and Gene bought a bag of oranges..We then went to Gonzales's for their famous burgers. they are so so big and so so good... Yummy... I had a hard time eating 1/2 of one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Up early and had a great hot breakfast in the Lobby at Dury Inn.. Then off to Progresso, Mexico. Dan and I and Gene and Linda had our teeth cleaned... WOW, what a cleaning for $30.00. The dentist office, is very modern, clean and efficient. We went to Renee's Bakery and had coffee and doughnuts, and then Dan and Gene went and had their pedicure.. The place that they go to had upgraded to new pedicure seats and bowls. Soon we were going through customs and heading back to Aransas Pass.. We stopped in Kingsville at Chili's for dinner. The dogs were so happy to see us. Herbie was outside with 2 bulldogs and he seen the truck pull up and he turned and looked at the truck and then started barking, those bulldogs looked at him and barked at him, and he was stunned and looked back and waited.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was ecstatic when he knew that we were there to pick him up...</div>

Things were not so well for Dan this morning.. He had a terrible night with spending most of it in the bathroom. Upset stomach. No moving out and about for Dan.. A Oil rig was going out this morning and I wanted to go and see it.. Well, the timing was off, and the line to get on the ferry was a 45 minute wait. I could see the rig from where I was waiting for the ferry.. Sad, I was suppose to meet others. Well, there were pictures posted on facebook, and others have some pictures that I can copy.</div>

Dan is still recovering from the Texas Krud. We went to Port A and met the HOC friends for breakfast at San Juan's. I think that this is not the place to go for breakfast especially on a weekend. </div>

The Bakery in Aransas Pass, still has the best breakfast. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Made a light dinner for Dan and myself.. Dan slept most of the day in his chair. Our highlight of Saturday night is turning on RFD-TV and watching Midwest Country and Cumberland Singers, Mollie B's polka party and Larry's Cafe.. I let Dan watch most of it. I have been reading some good books in the evening .. Now I am reading James Patterson, 1st book in the Women's Murder Club Series.. </div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Nov 17th Sun</b></span>.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I was up early and wondering how Dan was. We have plans to go to the valley and stay with our friends/second family Wes and Sandy.. I asked Dan how he felt and he said that it was iffy.. We decided to stay around for a few hours and see how things went. We left around 10 AM for Mission, and I drove all the way down.. If I must admit, I did well. Sandy and Wes were surprised to see the truck pull up and I was driving,.. I don't mind driving, if I know where I am going.. I did have a problem with the 75 MPH speed limit. I do not feel comfortable driving that fast... So we had an easy ride down. When we arrived it was so hot and humid. We unloaded the truck and visited and then Dan and I went to the grocery store to get a few things. Sandy and Wes went to their Club house and had dinner and then a gospel jam afterwards. Sandy and Wes are great jammers and they enjoy performing at different jams around Mission area. Oh yes, Herbie make himself right at home... he comes on in and settles in and they enjoy him so much.. They tell their neighbors that Herbie is not a DOG.. He is just one of the kids. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Still warm and humid at 7 AM.. I can't imagine how they can survive in the dead of summer with heat and humidity..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woke up early everyone is still in bed, I make coffee, turn on the morning news and check my emails and do Words With Friends.. I must say, I am getting better at it.. I had a 11 am appointment at a dentist in Progresso, Mexico.WOW, now it is .50 to get into Mexico..Last year it was .30... I was having some impressions done and had to be there for about 2 hours. So, after the impressions we walked around and got some dog meds and stopped at Renee's cafe for coffee and doughnuts.. then, back to the border.. Cost us .35 to get back into the US.</div>

We took our dirty laundry along with the idea of going to the Laundromat and doing our laundry. Made dinner and we just relaxed. What A Life EH!!<br />

The weather today was alot better than it had been in the Valley.. Just laid around and later took Sandy and Wes out for dinner. Went to CHEDDARS.. They have such wonderful food. Dan had his favorite, Chicken tenders. When we got back home I turned on Duck Dynasty..Had a few laughs and then turned on something else. Time to get ready for bedtime..</div>

Up Early again at friends home and Dan was not feeling good. We went back to Progresso to complete my dental work, and then went back to Sandy and Wes, picked up Mr. Herbie and headed back to Aransas Pass. It is always better to be home in your own enviorment when one is sick and not feeling well. I drove back home. I was tired, but I tuffed it out and headed north. It is about a 3 hour drive. Made Dan some soup when we got back and he sat in his chair and took one of his long naps.</div>

It was nice waking up in your own bed. Dan said that he felt pretty good. He went and had coffee with the boys this morning. According to weather the cold front was coming through. Boy yes it did.. the sky was dark and all of a sudden the winds picked up. Time to go and dig out warmer clothes. Got a call from friends at another park and wanted to know if we wanted to go to Pizza Hut.. We said sure.. Came back home and snuggled on our chairs and watched some TV.. Boy what a week...</div>

Another cold morning,,,, I had such a taste for waffles.. I got up earlier again, made my coffee and snuggled in my chair with a blanket.. Watch the morning news and then turned on the cooking channel. When Dan got up I said that waffles would be a good breakfast. Well, he made me breakfast.. Later for dinner we were meeting with our Heartland group at Moby Dick's. We had 4 couples and a great time. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another cold morning,,,, This stuff has to change.. We decided that we had better get to the grocery store before the crowds get there.. So we had a little bite to eat and then off to Portland to HEB.. Then to Mickee-ee "D's" for a sandwich and then I wanted to go to BEALLS... Well, they didn't open until noon.. so we went next door to Radio Shack. I am looking for a cassette player like the Sony Walkman.. Well...Hello I guess I am about 20 years to late.. They don't make them anymore.So we still had time to kill and Dan inquired about a smart phone.. His phone is ready for a upgrade. So to make a long story short, he got a smart phone. We changed our plan and now I have text...... surprise.. now try to figure that out.. Well.. I can not figure out how these people can drive and text at the same time.. I am having a hard time texting sitting in my chair and holding the phone.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went out to dinner with our South Dakota neighbors.. We ended up going to Port Aransas at BEACHES.. yummy and I even got the last piece of bread pudding and took it home..It was a nice time with them and what was nice also, that we were able to carry on a conversation without a dozen other people talking at the same time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, this has been 2 weeks and just hope that things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get better.....</div>

We left Gateway To The Gulf early and headed to Aransas Pass. The weather was sunny and it was getting warm out. We arrived and pulled right onto our site.. Dan got set up. Oh, by the way, he really like this new coach, with the level up system.. Makes the setting up a lot easier. While Dan was busy, I took Mr. Herbie for a walk-about.. After we got the coach opened up, we went to the office and met the new manager and checked in. Greeted some of the friends that had arrived already. The park is pretty full, but with alot of workers. It is just not going to be the same as some of the winter Texans are not coming back this year.<br />

We went to Happy Hour at 4 PM and there was a small group which is fine, as you can visit without everyone talking at the same time. After Happy Hour Dan and I went to Pizza Hut for dinner and then we came back and settled in and relaxed...</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov 2nd. Saturday</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Breakfast date with 3 couples at The Bakery in Aransas Pass. Gosh, it was great to see everyone, 6 months seemed long this time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Afterwards Dan and I went to Rockport to wash the truck and then to HEB, to buy some of the T-Bones that they had on sale, then on to the pet store to see if we could get Herbie some shoes to wear. The grounds her at the resort has some sticky burrs and they get in Herbies feet and then he does not want to go on the grass.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The park had a D J and hot dogs and hamburgers, so we went there for supper and visited for awhile.. Had to turn the clocks back tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Nov. 3 Sunday</b></span><br />
I was up early, these time changes are something else. Coming from Eastern Time to Central and then back to Daylight Saving Time.<br />
I made coffee, turned on the TV on quiet and enjoyed the moment. Soon Dan and Herbie were up. Our cruising friends Gene and Linda were coming over to lunch, so I took out Chicken Pot Pie from COSTO...They are just delicious..Wish that there was a COSTO in Corpus... They had Marcela with them and Mr. Herbie seen her and took off for the bedroom. Herbie and Marcella don't really care for each other.. She just like to be the center of attention... I had also baked an Apple pie and that was the dessert later.. It was a nice afternoon...Dan and Gene went to Gene's storage locker and got our Direct TV DISH, and the fishing wagon and stuff. Dan was playing with the Direct TV box, getting the wires all set up. <br />
Well, it was late and I suggested that he work on it Monday when his mind is fresh..<br />
Just time to Relax before bedtime..<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov. 4th Monday</span></b><br />
I was up early again, and was watching the daylight arrive....The first full week of being a Winter Texan. Dan had his 1st Choir Practice... (that is when the guys get together for coffee at What-A-<br />
Burger, with other guys from a few other parks) I took the truck and went to Wal-mart and got a few items.<br />
While he was gone I called Direct TV and wanted to schedule to have someone come out and set up our dish.. Well, that was a nightmare in itself. You pay for their maintenance program and only come to find out that there are only certain things. I had made 4 calls, talked to 4 different agents and finally the last call was effective. We started this at 8 am and finally at 5 pm, the Direct TV was hooked up.. the pictures below is a bracket that Dan made up to hold the Direct TV Dish... The best park of this is that the wind won't move it.. Dan is such a clever man...<br />

Dan made a steak for himself and I had a chicken breast and with salad, we were good to go.. Dan took Herbie out for his last walk for the evening and I did up the dishes and we settled in for the night watching our favorite programs.<br />

The weather was nice this morning, I opened the door and smelled the morning air. Herbie went for his morning walk and then Dan went over to the clubhouse to have coffee with the boys. <br />
We are going over to Jim and Pat's this morning and having a hot dog lunch and the guys are going to look at Jim's problem with his trailer and they are going to come up with a plan to repair it, so the fun can begin..<br />

Carol Zurn brought a very delicious Sweet Vidalia Onion dip, along with Scoops.. Oh my gosh just how good.. It was a fun time and we all left full.<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov 6th Weds.</span></b><br />
71 degrees this morning and humid out. Dan went to the clubhouse for morning coffee with the boys and then over to What-a-burger and meeting up with some other's and then the Guys are heading over to Corpus for the boys day out. Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Academy Sports, and then Lunch..<br />
When Dan got home he gave me my phone.. LOL He had a good time with the boys.... He fixed one of the cabinets about the TV... right after we got the coach, we opened up the cabinet and the door fell off... Not worth taking it back to the dealer... In matter of fact Dan did a better job of repairing it.. We had a Pastie for dinner. the rain had come and Dan took Herbie out and he did not want to stay long...I sat down to watch Duck Dynasty, and Dan was trying to set-up the wireless printer.<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov 8th Friday -- Been here for 1 week already</span></b><br />
Dan went for coffee with the boys and I took the truck and went to Portland for a pedicure and ended up having a haircut instead.. I did not have an appointment for a pedicure, and i would have to wait... So I went next door and had a hair cut. Then went across the hwy to BEALLS... they had a big sale going on, I got coupons, and bought a nice pair of capri's and a top for $16.00.. Can't beat that deal...<br />
Dan and I went to Port Aransas for lunch. Ate at a place called EATS.. It is a breakfast and lunch place. It is not a place that we would really like to go back again to. It has a limited menu. Afterwards we went and sat by the inter-coastal and watched the dolphins. It was a nice day.. Stopped at Dairy Queen for small treat before dinner... At our age, Gotta eat dessert first. LOL<br />
<br />
We had our freezer full when we left home and we have eaten mostly out of our freezer. There is just one thing left, so now I can make some meals from fresh again.<br />
<br />
Herbie sure likes his walks and he loves those sniffs. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov. 9th Sat.</span></b><br />
Nice morning,, I lounged around for a few hours and then I got ready, Dan and I went to Portland for some groceries and then we stopped at Bealls. Dan bought found some great deals and I bought a new purse for the cruise. Came home and went to Happy Hour and then had dinner and relaxed..<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nov 10th Sun</span></b><br />
We went to The Bakery for Breakfast this morning, Stopped at Lowe's for some screws and then home.<br />
No sun, overcast and in the 60's... We are having 6 of our friends over for an early dinner today.. Will be interesting to see how 8 of us will fit into the Key Largo. I have a spiral ham in the oven and the others are bringing something to add to it. We had homemade potato salad, a delicious green salad, deviled eggs, beans and a low calorie strawberry - angel food cake dessert.. The Nascar race was on mute, but when a crash happened or the last lap we all listened...<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sept 30th... Last day of Sept.</span></b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> We woke up this morning and decided that will go to Marquette this morning for some supplies so Dan can fabricate a mount for our Direct TV that will be mounted on on the rear of our coach. It was such a nice day and the ride was awesome with the leaves starting to turn.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also decided that I needed to take some of my items out to the coach. I promised that I will have all my stuff in the coach before we leave. Going through cupboards and taking out items that I wanted.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday Oct 1st,</span></b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I had to take Mr. Herbie to vet today for his yearly checkup and shots.. He was so excited to go with me. Everything was good, and he gained another pound.. Eileen went with me and we went into Marquette and did a bit of shopping. The weather was cool enough that I could leave Herbie in the car. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dan and I both had Dr. appointments before we leave. We both have new Doctors as the one that we had for the past 12 years had to leave his practice due to medical issues. </span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We went to Manistique for dinner and celebrated Dan's birthday early and also did some gambling.. I walked out money ahead and so did Dan.. It don't happen that often, but when it does we are happy.</span></div>

I think that we have been going there for approx 8 years. This year there was 28 for lunch and 18 staying overnite. I had a wonderful massage. We had a great time as always.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">When we left to go home I decided I was going to take the back roads back home. When we had the homes on the lake, I would always go to Manistique thru the woods. Now, it has been about 15+ years since I last went that way, and I did it.. I came across a downed tree in the forest, and seeing that it is a federal forest and it was shut down, no one was available to remove the tree... So I had to take a different route.</span><br />

There was 7 of us and I had a venison roast cooked my special way, a pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots with orange sauce, cranberry and orange relish, green beans, hot rolls. Eileen brought homemade apple slices and I had maple ice cream.. Everybody walked away full and left overs went home with some.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The leaves are falling and Dan has been out mulching them..They are so pretty. We have alot of golds this year, but in different areas are alot of reds. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still more leaves have fallen and Dan is out mulching them. I am having the ladies from the Garden Club over for dinner for the last meeting of the year. I made a huge roaster of Beef Stew, and others brought something to share. I had 13 ladies, a couple had canceled. Before dinner we had a short meeting discussing what plans are for 2014. One of our members volunteer at Glacier National Park every summer and she had just gotten home in time for the dinner, She has been doing this for a number of years, and she drives out there and back by herself. In her spare time she hikes in the mountains. What a gal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My brother, wife and furry child from Waupaca Wisconsin came for a visit, First time he has been here. When he retired he moved to Cookeville Tennessee and after 10 years they decided that they wanted to spend more time with their grandchildren so they moved back. We had such a nice visit and we really enjoyed them. Hopefully we have talked enough about our Heartland RV experience that they will decide to get one and travel with us on some of our journeys. </span><br />

He loves warm weather and his hair was a bit too long. Molly went with him for her grooming also. While they were at the groomers, Eileen and I went out for lunch at The Jade Garden in Escanaba and then we did some grocery shopping. We enjoyed our day out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cold this morning and all packed and waiting heading to L'Anse Michigan in the Keewanna for The Witches Ball. Our friend Kathy Erickson is hosting it at The Best Western Lakeside. There were 24 girlfriends dressed as some sort of witch.. We had a nice dinner and games and prizes for the Best dressed, most original, and most glitzy witch. After the event some came to Kathy's home to go swimming. Kathy has a indoor pool in her home and she most graciously shares her home with her friends and family.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Eileen, Linda and myself headed home Tuesday (150 miles) and we ran into snow sleet and some rain. That is the first time I had seen this in many years as we go south.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I arrived home, Dan had the home all drained and had everything ready to move out to the trailer overnite. We sat and watched TV in our house, and around 10 pm we closed up the house.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weds Oct 23rd.</span></b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Up at 5 AM and left home at 6:30 AM.. Snow and Ice on truck and coach.. The 1st time our Truck has ever been on snow. We arrived at the Mackinaw Bridge around 9 AM and we did run across rain and sleet and some snow again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Arrived at Elkhart Campground and our friends Ralph and Barb were there waiting for us to arrive. It was sure nice to have them come and camp for a couple of days with us and we could catch up over dinner at El Maguey's Mexican and then breakfast at the Golden Egg. After breakfast Thursday we went to Shipshewanna to the Bulk food store and then to Yoders for cheese and sausage. We got back in the afternoon and we let the dogs out and relaxed before we went out for dinner at Chubby Trout.. </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Friday Oct 25th.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We got up early as we wanted to leave early for Effingham.. Well, after watching the weather report and the temps were low and it was cold, the roads were icy, so we decided to wait for awhile so the roads will melt a bit. We left around 10 AM said our good byes and headed down Hwy 31 thru the countryside. We arrived at Camp Lakewood around 4 PM, Dan set up which by the way he really enjoys the self levelers on the new rig.. I took Mr. Herbie for a sniff run while Dan did that. That boy just loves to sniff sniff... and squirt.. The park was filled up, the new owners are very nice and helpful. They have alots of trees around which are Hickory, Black Walnut and Acorn.. nuts were on ground all over. I should of picked up some of the nuts.</span><br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We left Effingham early this morning and took a slow ride to Sikeston, MO. It was a short ride, and we arrived around 12:30 PM... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Got set up and took Herbie for his sniff run.. Dan and I took a drive to Walmart to get a few things and then came home and relaxed, had coffee and then I put one of the huge pasties I made in the oven and made some green beans for dinner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the morning we will leave for Tunica, MS for 2 nights..</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October 27th & 28th Sunday and Monday..</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arrived in Tunica at Harrah's Mid-South RV park.. We like that one as it has nice big sites and grass. Lights at end of each site, and it has security. $15.00 a night with full hook-ups and wifi and cable is not a bad rate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got all set up and I took Herbie for a walk so he can do his sniffy's.. Met the owners of a Big Horn at the end of our row and had a nice visit with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dan wanted to take a trip over to a casino, so we decided to go to Sam's Town, We planned on going to eat at Smokey Joe's, but it closed down.. They had a buffet, but I could not see spending what they wanted, when I could not eat that much.. One thing I have noticed is that the Buffets at Casino's have gone way up.. anywhere from $25.00 to $27.00 per person.. I played a few machines and then I had enough and went and sat out and did my Sudoku..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Monday we hung out and then went into Tunica and picked up a few groceries. Went to another casino and Dan played a few machines and I did also.. but then I went and sat with my trusty Sudoku... Got back made some dinner and then got things organized to leave in the morning..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>October 29th Tuesday</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Up early and headed to Texrkana.. It was a cool Morning, and the roads were not to bad.</span> We were headed to Sunrise RV, right off the interstate.. it is a great overnite spot, all gravel, full hook-ups. Had dinner and then cleaned up and just relaxed after a long drive.<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October 30th Weds...</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We left Sunrise RV Texrkana, Arkansas at 7:30 am. The weather reports do not look good at all. To make a long story short Dan drove about 450 miles and it was raining off and on.. Dark skies and grey clouds all the way... Our plans were that we were going to stop in Goodrich, but after we got closer to Livingston, Dan decided that we would just head for Victoria. When we got to Livingston, the rain was coming down quite hard off and on and the closer we got to Houston it was raining and raining very hard. Good thing we had good wipers on the truck. Trucks were passing us which made it even worse as we had a hard time watching for the white lines between lanes.. There was no place we could stop and pull over so Dan was just a cool trooper and kept on going... If I would of been driving I would of been crying and a mess..... (LOL) We arrived at Gateway to the Gulf in Victoria and signed in for 2 nights...It was so hot and humid when I got out of the truck.. I was not use to it. Made some dinner and Dan took Mr. Herbie for his walk and then we both settled in and I was watching "DUCK DYNASTY" Then off to bed... what a day...
</span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">October 31st Thursday.....</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are at Gateway to Gulf, Just hung out most of the day..We watched the news and the weather about the storms that hit Austin area and all the flooding.. Unbelievable what is happening with the weather. We had a huge downpour around noon and afterwards Dan and I took off and went to pick up a few groceries. Came on back and just relaxing in our recliners. Herbie doesn't like being inside and if there is a bit of sun shining in, he lays down there for awhile. We are having beef stew that I had frozen for dinner tonight, still trying to empty out our freezer...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tomorrow we are going to be up early and hit the road so we can get set up and organized for the winter.</span><br />

Fall has arrived, but the leaves aren't turning too fast.. We had been home for awhile enjoying the peace and tranquility.. Dan had alot of work ahead of him, doing the modifications on our new Heartland. Along with keeping up with the yard. We had some nice weather. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was garden club that I was involved with. We had a workshop at Eileen's. We made concrete castings from leaves of some sort. Mainly Zucchini and hosta leaves. We made those last year and some did not turn out, and we knew what we did wrong, so we attempted it again this year..</div>

Eileen's husband was the master concrete maker</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had to wait a week for the concrete to cure and we had a better turn out of good ones this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now they get painted and sealed and next year they can be put in our gardens as art, bird bath, whatever we choose. It was fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had come more gravel delivered as we needed to spread some where the low spots popped up. It was about 10 years ago when we had spread gravel around the barns and after the years it sunk in some places. It is sure nice having gravel and not mud and dirt.</div>

My friends and I had gone to Houghton, MI for a afternoon Tea at the 4 seasons Tea House. My friend from L'Anse was having a tea with her Red Hat group and Pat, Eileen, Darlene and myself were invited.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It was a 300 mile round trip for an afternoon tea. We had a great time, you don't find many afternoon tea rooms around. </div>

I had a great taste for pasties, a meat pie wrapped in dough. I asked my friend Pat if she would come and show me how she makes her's.. We had a good time. By the time she arrived I had 10 lbs of potatoes, 1 lb of carrots and 3 large onions all peeled and waiting. We chopped up everything into nice pieces. I seasoned 8 lbs of ground chuck, and then we mixed it all together with the vegetables.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pat made the dough and I watched very closely. We ended up having 9 large pasties.. They were so yummy. I had Ron and Eileen over for dinner also.. What a feast. </div>

trip with Ron and Eileen before we head for Texas. We have an annual week camping trip to Sault Ste. Marie, MI at Soo Locks Campground..Reservations are hard to get, but we had been lucky again this year We park right on the shores of the St. Mary's River and the ships just sneak right by.<br />
<br />
We have been home a week, and the trees are starting to turn.. On Monday the 23rd, we went to Marquette to Gander Mountain and Dan bought a electric smoker to take with us to Texas. He plans on doing some serious smoking there..<br />

It is small enough to fit inn the box in the bed of the pickup. We smoked some pork steaks and I don't think that I would do them on the grill again.. <br />
Today (Sunday 29th) we are having friends over for dinner and Dan is smoking a pork loin on the new smoker.<br />
<br />
Dan spent the week, putting finishing touches on the Key Largo. He installed some mud flats on it, washed and waxed it, stained the steps he made and is making a bracket to hold the Direct TV dish.<br />
<br />
Some of our friends are heading south already..<br />
<br />
I have another dinner party to make yet and 2 events with the girlfriends and then we can join friends in Texas.. <br />

<b>Monday 26th</b><br />
Lots of rain during the wee hours of the morning.. Some areas had it worse than others.<br />
Warm and humid weather.. Can't imagine not having air conditioning... I made a quick trip to town this morning to have my hair trimmed up, and then I stopped at the grocery store for a few items.<br />
<br />
This afternoon, The Garden club was meeting at my friends Eileen home to make concrete leaf art.<br />
It was alot of fun, and we will see what our leave art will look like at the end of the week when the concrete dries. <br />
We had grilled hot dogs afterwards..<br />
<br />
Dan spent most of the day doing modifications on the new 5th wheel.. Just making it more user friendly for us.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Woke up this morning to light rain and warm and humid weather. Today our Heartland friends from Wisconsin came for a visit. Jerry and Jackie and Sadie were camping in Ishpeming with the Heartlander's.. Dan had forgot his fireplace tools when we left and they brought them with. Dan could not believe that he forgot them.. I made lunch for us and of course Sadie and Herbie had their treats also.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dan worked on the new Landmark yesterday. He finished installing the tray in the storage area.<br />

Now he has to put the items back in. He has a list of things that he wants to change or add.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been playing Words with Friends on Facebook and that is something new for me. <br />
<br />
<b>August 28th Weds</b><br />
Another warm morning. I decided that today is going to be a chill day.. I settled in my chair with my phones, books and remote right next to me.. Dan went outside to finish putting his stuff back in the trailer storage area. Our friends Jay and Stella were out riding around and called and was wondering if they could come out. They brought lunch, what a treat. Chicken, potato salad and coleslaw. We had a nice visit and talked about where they are headed to after they leave Michigan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They are Heartland Regional Directors and are on the Rally circuit for the summer. <br />
Later I did a few loads of laundry. In the evening I had to watch Duck Dynasty.. I am hooked.. I watched it a few weeks ago and I laughed so hard.. On Sundays I watch the re-runs and Weds it is on again.. It is on A&E.. If you need some humor, you gotta watch it...<br />
<br />
Something else I got into is Word with Friends on Facebook.. I didn't think I would like it, but it is not to bad. I am still green with it, so I hope my friends are patient...<br />

It is cooler today, the humidity has diminished. Dan and I went to Marquette this morning as he wanted to go to Menard's and get some lumber to make some shelves in out closets in the new trailer.<br />
After we got home, Dan went to work on adding another water filtering system in the trailer. <br />

He finished putting his stuff in the below storage area, and organizing everything. Looks good.<br />

<b>Friday Aug 20th</b><br />
Up early and got ready to head to Escanaba along with Eileen and Molly. It is Fluff and Puff time for Herbie and Molly.. We like that as once we drop them off we go shopping to Joanne Fabrics, Elmer's Food store and Wal-mart. Oh yes there is lunch also. It takes about 2 hours so we plan out our time..<br />
We went on our Friday night fish fry at Jack's in Rapid River. Then we (us and the Erickson's) go to Dairy Flo for ice cream. Something did not set well with me and I did not feel good when I got home.<br />
I made a cup of tea and settled into my chair and thought of what I was going to do tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<b>Sat August 31st</b><br />
A dreary morning and not a busy day. I had not felt too good, so I just took a day to rest and I read my book. Later in the day I went and cleaned out some dresser draws.<br />
Dan was back working on his modifications on the new 5th wheel. He moved the clothes rods to be more accessible and then he made shelves in the closets areas. <br />

Dan moved the Dyson into the laundry room/closet.. this will be used for jackets and etc. </div>
<br />
I think that it will work out just fine for us. Then he went in the kitchen pantry and removed the shelving and the sliding tray and he is making full shelves in the pantry which will be more practical for us seeing that we live in it for approx. 5-6 months. <br />

I made some homemade Italian beef for dinner along with alot of pepper and onions. Everything smelled good. Yummy and we had fresh corn on the cob that I bought yesterday from a roadside stand.<br />

<b>Sunday Sept 1st...</b>. <br />
<br />
Heavy rain and thunder and lighting came around 8 am and Dan was out there early cutting the grass in front of the house before the rains came. Mr. Herbie went and hid and he was scared. We did not do much today, just sat around and relaxed and watched the skies change.<br />
<br />
<b>Monday Sept 2nd</b><br />
Cool morning which called for warmer clothes... I was feeling a bit better today, Dan has been out finishing up modifications that he wanted to do on trailer..<br />
<br />
The rolling shelves that were in the pantry, Dan hung up in the salon (living room) area. One on each side of the slide. Nice area to put knick knacks or small picture frames.<br />

<b>Tuesday Sept 3rd</b><br />
I got up early and made breakfast and Herbie and I went out to do some yard work. I went to get the garden tractor and it did not start.. huh dead battery. While the battery was charging I went to the back garden and started pulling some weeds and moving some rocks aside. When the tractor was done charging I took Herbie for a ride through the woods, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Then I went and picked up all my weeds I pulled and took then in the woods to rest. While I was on the trail, I noticed a nice white golf ball on the path. I am still wondering how it got there.<br />
It was a nice evening and we went to Concert in the park.. Southwest winds and the band was a good one. 50's & 60's Classical.. Great night..<br />
<br />
<b>Weds Sept 4th</b><br />
I ran to town to do some errands While I was gone, Dan installed the new glass window in the door that we purchased at the Heartland Rally in June. We just love it. It is an eye catcher when you look at the side of the trailer.<br />

Dan had also installed a fan in the refrigerator. He had heard good things about having this fan and he ordered one. It is working well and the temp is set on #3 and and temp inside refrigerator is 37.. We will see what happens when we have a full refrigerator full of food.<br />

Duck Dynasty night, and I finished up dishes and cleaning kitchen just in time to watch a favorite.. Duck Dynasty.. What a HOOT.....Dan spent his evening trying to figure out why his computer would not print wireless on the printer that is in the trailer... After a few hours, he realized that it is set up for our wireless card...<br />

<b>Friday Sept 6th</b><br />
Sunny today and Dan is getting his tractor out and will be spreading gravel that he bought about a month ago for the area by the back barn, and then he will be moving some smaller rocks. I have some projects that I have to get done. Then the weekend is upon us. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was up early and headed to Marquette so I could make my appointment with my doctor. My mother went along with me. She went to the Walk In Clinic as she is still having pain from her fall. Came to find out that she had a fracture from her fall over the weekend. The ER that she went to did not even see that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then afterwards, I did my shopping that I had to do.. We were gone 6 hours and when we got back I was tired.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cooler day and we picked up Eileen and went to Munising to a garage sale and then went to The Bear Trap for lunch. Had pasties and soup and it was oh so-o-o good. Mom had a hair appointment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dan had been out cutting wood that we have had stock piled out on the side of the barn.. He worked on it for a few days. It was alot of work and tiring for him..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dan and I and Jay and Stella headed to Lake Delton for the Wisconsin Heartland Rally on August 7th..As usual it was a great Rally and saddened to find out that Tom and Gerry are stepping down as Wisconsin State Chapter Leaders. They are going full time and traveling the country. We had a pig roast on Saturday night along with lots of other great foodie time. It was great to see everyone as usual.</span><br />

Prior to leaving for the Rally Rex and Stacy Hastey from Oklahoma came and stayed over night. Dan made his famous ribs for dinner and we also invited our good friends Ron and Eileen over for dinner. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are home for awhile so we can rest up and Dan can do some changes on our new Key Largo, and then we are off to The Soo Locks Campground for a RnR.. It is just so peaceful sitting on the shore watching those big ships come through.</span><br />

July 10th Weds</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cool Morning, and a busy one. Herbie had a grooming appointment and so did Molly. Eileen and I usually make the same day appointment and go together. Dan has an Dr. appointment with Dr. to go over his tests reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even though our company is gone, we still get up at 6AM and plan our day. It seems as though something is always happening.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eileen took Herbie with her when she took Molly in for her grooming. Dan and I went into Marquette did some errands before we had to be at his Dr. appointment. Dan's tests came back with everything good. No reason why he had the issues in Goshen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heartland Michigan Chapter is having a rally in August in Ishpeming and we have been helping out with some details. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We still are emptying out coach from the winter. We have so much stuff in there that we do not or have not used in some time.. It never fails that we also buy during the winter. So this year I myself will try to bring less clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The weather has been really nice here in the Upper Peninsula. Warm evenings and in the morning when I let Mr. Herbie out the air smells so good. I see on the news how hot it is in Texas and the states our friends are in and I am happy that we are here.<br />
<br />
The girlfriends had a get together at Pat Hyry home for a class on making glass art and then afterwards we had pasties and a Dairy Queen cake.. <br />

We have been seeing our deer come around and the one doe came yesterday with 2 more little ones...<br />
<br />
The weather has gotten so hot and humid we stayed indoors as much as possible.. Of course Herbie wanted to go out and in 5 minutes he was back in.. <br />
<br />
Sunday the 14th we both decided to go out for dinner. We went to the casino, Dan had a taste for their wet burrito and I had soup and salad. I would of loved to have a burrito also as they are good, but I knew I couldn't eat that much. After dinner we went and challenged the machines and of course I lost and Dan came out a few dollars ahead.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the 16th of July Dan and I went to Concert in The Park. We put our chairs under trees and there was a nice soft wind off of the lake and it was a nice evening. The band that was performing was a country western and the music was good. <br />
<br />
Dan and I decided to take a road trip to Wisconsin to visit my brother and sister-in-law who had moved from Tennessee. It was a nice drive even though it was hot out. We had a nice visit and they drove us around the area. Herbie and their Golden Lab got along well. After dinner my nephew brought his family over for a visit<i>. </i>It was nice to see the little ones. They sure have grown since I last seen them. Before they left there was ice cream treats. Herbie even got his bowl of ice cream also.<br />
<br />
Friday morning was a nice morning, instead of making breakfast at home, I suggested that we go out for breakfast. We went to this nice place called Kings Table and a good breakfast. When we got back home, we packed up and left for Michigan. Dan had some stops to make at The Man's Stores, to pick up items that he needed. We arrived home around 6 PM, and the humidity had gone away and it was nice. Even though the grass needed cutting it is always to be at "Home Sweet Home".<br />

We were up early Saturday morning and the weather was so nice. Dan had his coffee and then went out and got ready to cut the grass. There is about 3 acres of grass. I thought that it was 5 acres but Dan said it is 3.. After he finished the back half, he came in for some lunch and soon after he went out and cut the front half.It sure looks nice. Our deer came through the yard for a visit. Enjoyed our dinner on the porch hoping to see the babies (deer) for playtime. Did not happen.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning it was 49 degrees out and had to wear warm robe. My niece and her daughters brought my mother to our house. My mother will be staying with me for a few weeks. <br />
Mr. Herbie had some more attention from the girls. When bedtime came he was ready for a rest.<br />

I tried to get back on track and get my blog out every week, but it just hasn't happened yet. So just bear with me and it will happen. We have been busy getting our yard work done and getting ready to head to Goshen, Indiana for Heartland's North American Rally and Pre-Rally..</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had gone and weeded some flower beds and then planted some flowers as Dan has cut the grass about 4 times since we have been home. He has his new lawn mower that he has made adjustments to so our lawn looks so good when it is done.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Monday the 10th we headed for Elkhart IN, where we met up with Heartland friends and stayed the night. Bob and Pat Curry were going out for dinner and I invited us to ride along so we did not have to unhook, or make any dinner. We went to a place called Chubby Trout. What great food and the best part was the carrot cake for dessert. It was large enough to feed 4 people and had vanilla ice cream scooped high along side of it.. Yummy....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When we arrived we were parked in our permanent site and did not have to move. Unfortunately we were about 250 feet from the busiest train track in the state of Indiana I believe. When the trains came, it sounded like it was right next to our rig. Oh well...what more can I say...</div>

Dan didn't have time to make his smoked ribs for them, but he did make delicious charcoal grilled chicken. It was so yummy. They didn't stay long as they had to be back in Kansas City on Sunday. It was sure nice to share our beautiful country with them.. We hope that they come back and stay a bit longer in the future.</div>

After they left we had another few days and then our Heartland Friends Bob and Pat Curry arrived. They took the reservations of our friends Bruce and Joanne from Kentucky who were suppose to spend the 4th of July week in Munising camping on Lake Superior, but sadly they had to cancel. Later our friends Ralph and Barb Chester from Valparaiso arrived for a pre-4th get together here at Halvorsen's Hideaway.On Saturday June 29th Jim and Lou DeVoe arrived from Tomah, Wisconsin. We had a nice dinner on Saturday evening. Sunday morning, we all packed up and headed 25 miles to Munising to The Tourist Park, which is on the shores of Lake Superior. to make this week happenings short, I will say that we had a couple of cool days, sunny ones, campfires, beautiful sunsets, stories, laughs and of course good food. We went to the parade on the 4th and then to the Bayshore park for awhile afterwards. We went back around 6:30 PM to the park and got settled in for the Fireworks. Why so early you think, well the park fills up so so full, that by the time it gets dark you can hardly find a bare spot to put your chair. As always, the fireworks were superb. All the Oue's and Awe's. On Saturday July 6th we packed up and headed back. DeVoes headed to Wisconsin, and Ralph and Barb went back to Indiana. the Curry's came back to our house. Our friends from Winnepeg, Manitoba came through earlier to go to Ontario to pickup a newer 5th wheel, and on the return run they came and stayed with us for a couple of days. We met them in Texas some years ago and the past few years they decided to go to Florida, but we have kept in touch and have met them a few times on our way South. It was so nice to have them spend some time with us. I really enjoyed their Rusty (Fox Terrier) Speaking of The Furry Friends, Herbie sure has had a variety of friends play with his toys. Blackjack, Bentley, Bailey, Trevor, Wiley and Yoggie and Rusty. </div>

Well Hello there.. Yes, I have been behind in my blog, I had started it after we got home and then I got involved in alot of things around the house, that I kept putting it on the back burner.. So, what I am going to give you a re-cap for this past month and hopefully get back on track....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We arrived home safely on Monday May 6th around 4:30 PM.. So happy to see our driveway. Herbie was so happy also. He ran around and then went and laid on the drive and rolled around... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We walked in our home and it still smelled like new. I just love that smell. On the way home I got a call from my brother who lives in Florida and shared some good news with us. It was personal family and I was happy to hear it. Our friend Ron came on down and turned on the heat so at least the home was warm when we arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following morning we woke up to a nice warm day.. There was no snow except in the woods. Eileen called and asked if I wanted to go on a Waterfall Road trip. Sure I said. So, I got my camera and i-Pad and went up to her house and picked her up. We hit alot of the waterfalls and they were flowing awesomely. <br />

Found this among the forest and the tree bases</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After we were done we stopped and visited our friend Jackie, she had back surgery and was recovering and it was nice seeing her. We went to The Falling Rock Cafe and Bookstore for lunch. Afterwards we headed home as I had some chores to do.. We were invited to Ron and Eileen's for dinner so I did not have to worry about dinner. Oh so nice for the invite..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cooler mornings are arriving and that is a good thing as it gives me the opportunity to clean closets and empty out the 5th wheel. I spent many days going through closets and filling many many big bags with clothes that are way to big for me and Dan seen what I was doing and he decided that he needed to go thru his side of the closet. I am just guesstimating that we had over 100 lbs of clothes that went to Salvation Army.. The trunk of my car was packed full.. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I sure hope that there is someone out there that will enjoy our donations. I would of felt better giving clothes to someone who I knew that really needed them vs. having someone having to pay for them. I had alot of nice clothing in those bags.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also, had my first Red Hat luncheon and it was in Michigamme,,, I was surprised to see ice on lake Michigamme,, I had a great time</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was promised a new bed when we got home, but there was conditions. Yes, conditions, I had to empty out my woman cave and get rid of some of my treasured stuff. So, I spent a few days throwing out stuff and repacking stuff that I wanted to keep. We decided that we wanted to have 2 guest bedrooms and so when we got my cave cleaned we moved the bedroom from the other room in to the new guest room.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It just didn't seem like it was getting warmer out.. Misty rain and grey skies, just kept me inside putzing going through stuff and throwing stuff out. One Saturday morning the rain turned to snow.. and I just was amazed that I got to see snow. LOL </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The snow left and it started to warm up some. Dan spent some time cleaning out the waterfall pond,<br />

and I went and pulled some weeds, and we talked about the yard work that we need to do..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the meantime I made some Dr. appointments and kept them. I had some testing done to see how I did over the winter. I was so happy to hear from my Dr. that I had done really well and kept my weight under control. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We decided that we were going to put our 92 Chev p/up for sale. He parked it up at the end of the drive and 4 hours later we had a number of calls on it. 2 days later it was sold and on it's way to a new home. It was a beauty. It never seen salt or snow roads and it was always garage kept. We just did not need a vehicle that we hardly drove. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then we decided that our 24 ft. cutty cabin boat needs to be sold, as we are hardly home in the summer to use it.. It is all fitted out for Big Lake fishing and there are lots of goodies that go with it. We just hope that it will sell as fast as the truck did.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dan and I also bought 60 bags of red mulch and put it down in the beds. It make everything look so good and also, helps keep the weeds in control...<br />

I had gone to my favorite greenhouse and bought some plants. Now I have to get them in the ground. I feel so great this year and it is so easy for me to move around and do outside work. Of course, I had to take Mr. Herbie for rides on his tractor. I also had a huge amount of seeds that I had saved that past few years and never planted them. So I took a bucket and dumped them all together. I went out in the back garden and took my Mantis and tilled up some ground and weeds and then I made rows and put seeds down. If they germinate and grow that is good for me... If not, that is OK also. I just did not want to waste them without trying. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had the garden club over at my home for the 1st meeting and we had a pot luck and we made out our schedule for the summer. We had a great turn out and food was awesome also. Great variety.<br />

Why not be around people that you like and care for.. RIGHT!!</div>

Dan smoked some ribs this past Saturday and it was the first smoking since we have been home.. They were good. He knocked the rub up a notch, and I think that it was a bit too spicy.. We had froze most of them and will take them with us to the Rally...<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>April 29th Monday</b></span><br />
<b>Up early, at least we thought that it was early. Made arrangements to go out for breakfast this morning, only to realize that we were late, due to the fact all the clocks were set wrong last night. We went to a great breakfast place. After breakfast we went our separate ways as Jay and Stella and us had errands to run. We went to Shipshawana, and as we drove through Amish country, Monday is wash day. Everyone had their laundry hanging out. The day was sunny and a bit chilly, but we sat out for Happy Hour.</b><br />
<b>Hot Dogs for dinner</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>April 30th Tuesday</b></span><br />
<b>Dan and I took off to Mishawaka this morning for Harbor Freight. Tuesday Morning was next store and I walked through it and picked up a few items. Went to Martins and I picked up Chicken for dinner</b><br />
<b>We ate in this evening and then we sat out visiting for awhile. </b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>May 1st Wednesday</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Jay, Stella, Bernie and Judy and Dan and I took off and we went to Shipshawana to the flea maket. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Huh we got there and it was not open yet. Next Weds. The Auction house was open and auctioning going on. Well we were not really interested in that so we went to Yoders Cheese and Meat Market, and there were alot of samples of their good cheese and sausage. I did purchase some of it. Then we went and walked to The market place, which is a bunch of speciality stores. The furniture was really nice, but everything was quite high $$$. We then went to the Auction House Restaurant for lunch.. I had a delicious bowl of cheeseburger soup. Yummy.. Afterwards we headed for Topeka Indiana to a furniture store that is owned by the Amish. What wonderful furniture. Afterwards we headed back home after a very busy day. Hoyt and Mary Arrived...</b></div>
