On the road yet again!

Tuesday afternoon we packed an overnight bag, loaded up the dogs and headed out for another road trip! Hubby had his check up on Wednesday and hopefully will be getting his temp teeth next week July 8th. Yes, that means yet another road trip … geez .. this new truck is gonna be wore out before summer is over with all this traveling!

We arrived in Illinois around 8 pm and dropped off Hailey at her house, spent some time with Tobeman and then arrived at Gabe’s place around 10 pm! It was a long day of driving .. of course i read my book and Hailey watched her DVD’s. We stopped and purchased her a portable DVD to keep in the truck while we travel back and forth.

Heading to C9!

We got a call from our friend Skip from C9 to see how hubby was doing and he asked when we were heading to the ranch. I said after hubby’s dr appt Wednesday. Skip said that the campground we like to camp in was filling up that we should probably get here sooner if we wanted a decent spot. So around 10.30 last night hubby said we should probably head out Sunday.

Hmmm i’m not even packed but i said okay well when i got up this morning i had to run over to the DMV because we found out that our 1 ton truck is suppose to have D license plates and not B! B max weight is 8000 lbs our truck it’s self weighs more then that .. ughhh so after another $155 bucks we now have temp plates and are legal. Wow sure glad we didn’t get a ticket!

When i arrived back at the camper hubby and Hailey were packing things up … i ask what we were doing and hubby said .. i guess if you want we can go today!! Ummm yeah i’m ready but not packed. So i got into fast work mode with getting everything put away for travel mode. Yessss i love being on the road!

It was a long drive, but we were on the road before 11 am! Hmm not bad, i had us packed in a little over an hour!

We arrived at the ranch around 6 pm and hubby just had to help setup and yes … he isn’t suppose to .. of course he refused help hooking up too .. men!

Grand daughter visiting

Hubby was feeling better today and wanted to get out of the camper so later in the afternoon we went to our oldest son house to get our mail.

When we arrived our grand daughter Hailey came running to us and her first words were i’m going with you and then she informed Papa she needed a new bike her old one is broke and of course she knows exactly the one she wants … LOL

Papa looked at her bike and yes in fact she needed a new one. We visited and then we loaded Hailey’s things in the truck and she returned home to spend a few days with us.

Beauty and the Beast!

I went out to dinner with 2 friends, we went and ate Chinese .. shhh don’t tell hubby .. he is still on broth .. LOL Oh it was so good and i have missed it!

My friends Cora and Wanda went on a ladies night out. After dinner we went to the musical play Beauty and the Beast .. it was wonderful and a blast. Esp since we knew several of the characters who are friends of ours.

It was a great night and i didn’t get home until almost 11 pm!

No Internet!

Hubby went to the doctor today and not healing like he would like, still on a liquid diet .. go back in a week and hopefully they can get his teeth made .. still in lots of pain.

I have been keeping busy taking care of him … well okay laughing at him is more like it but only because he makes new funny faces and his speech is bit on the funny side. Hubby you know i love you even though you are making funny faces and sounds .. your my baby!

I have been doing a bit of volunteer work here and there when they have some for me. Although some volunteers just hog all the work … Cora do you know who i’m talking about? J/K you are great to work with .. love ya

Not having internet at my camper stinks … ughh what it’s like when u get addicted to something … yes i’m addicted to the internet and now Farmville … grrrr

Happy Father’s Day!

I took this picture after father’s day but thought it was it belonged with this post. Here is hubby holding our baby girl!

Today is a lazy Sunday for me. We didn’t go to church as hubby still isn’t feeling good. He bent over and now he is in extreme pain. He still isn’t able to eat anything with a texture to it. So his meals have consisted of broth, runny jell-o, runny yogurt, ice cream and ice freezes.

I want to say Happy Father’s Day to my hubby and of course my dad. I was a bad daughter this year and forgot to get cards. I’m sorry dad but i am thinking of you and i love you.

It’s been really hot and humid and my entire day was spent inside the AC. I spent it trying to catch up on email, of course i only have about 4000 more to go before I'm caught up. The RV groups are big e-mailers and sometimes i get a month or so behind. I also read the blogs that i enjoy following of other RVer’s. I love Firefox plug-in scrapbook as i can capture the blog and read it later. I really don’t like not having internet at my camper. I have to drive up and sit in the truck and download everything and view it later. I do my Farmville while I'm downloading and capturing screen shots.

Hope all you father’s out there are having a great day!

Volunteer Dinner and Judge Judy’s Court

Here at Lake Williamson we have several good friends and as you that know me well know that i love to aggravate. Well Thursday while i was doing some volunteer work I found a note on the windshield of the truck. It said that i was parked in a no parking area and a complaint had been made .. it was my last notice, signed by LWCC Sheriff.

At first i thought it was the maintenance supervisor as he had stopped me previously a few nights before that and was teasing me that i was illegally parked. On my way home that afternoon i stopped him and questioned him and he said he wasn’t the sheriff. I came back home and seen Dale who is the camp host sheriff and i asked him about it and he chirped that he was told to do it and that i would know who complained. Finally i realized that it was Cliff who is a volunteer and a RV Maps member as well. I told Dale i was going to take action against my ticket.

Later that night i saw Cliff and of course he denied the entire thing. Later that night i went to get ice cream with my friends and other volunteers Wanda and Cora and I decided to write some notices myself and they were for those involved to show up for court. It was set for Monday at 8 am but several of the defendants couldn’t make it. So on Friday the date was to be changed and since we were having a volunteer organization meeting that night another friend/volunteer Georgia suggested to hold court after the meeting. Wanda got the okay and we spent the afternoon putting the event together.

It turned out great and was tons of fun! Wanda my friend was Judge Judy, there was a 6 woman (all volunteers) jury. The defendants were Kenny (supervisor) Dale ( camp host volunteer) and Cliff (volunteer). Of course all three men were found guilty.

We had a blast, Dale argued that his wife was on the jury and that it was an all woman jury of Judge Judy argued that his wife should help him and he replied .. I doubt that and Kangaroo court, he was over ruled and told he would be held in contempt if he didn’t be quite. Cliff tried to bribe jury Sally with his fishing boat and Judge Judy told him if found guilty he wouldn’t have a boat to loan her and Kenny tried to slide Major Georgia some cash.

I was the incent angle that i am and i played the harassed disabled woman that i am who done no wrong. I sweet talked the judge and jury and they had so much sympathy for me and in the end found all 3 men guilty as charged.

It was a great night that started out with a great Chicken dinner, our volunteer orientation and then court and the movie Blind Side. Blind Side is a great movie and it was a great night with lots of fun and fellowship. Everyone that attended and participated had a blast with lots of laughs.
