Dr Appt & Happy Birthday Sis

Today Is my sister Patty Birthday .. so let me say Happy Birthday Sis, love you and hope your day is a great one .. i am not going to post her age but let's just say 50 is approaching much faster .. hehe

It's another busy day for us. We got up and got dressed. I put on a pot of 15 bean soup to cook while were gone for later and then it was out the door for appointments. Brrr it’s a pretty nippy morning outside.

We had a 9 am appointment and then a 10.30 Dr. Appointment. We got our med’s scripts for the winter and we both got flu shots this year. I haven’t taken a flu shot since back when i worked in home health. After discussing our medical with our doctor he felt we both should get flue shots. Esp me with my asthma that has gotten worse over the past few years.

After doctor appointments it was on to the pharmacy to turn in our scripts and get our med’s filled before hitting the road.

On our way home we needed to make a few more stops. One was to renew our plates for the 5th wheel (expire in December 31) then on to Wal-mart for a few last minute items and then fuel up.

We got home and a couple of friends stopped by to say goodbye and then it was on to cleaning out the truck and putting all the outside stuff that we can away. It actually warmed up nicely but, there was a bit of wind that times made it cool.

Our son Gabe came and picked up the bikes and then we spent what was rest of the evening just relaxing as my back is really hurting. This cool weather is not good for my back pain.

A Day of cleaning

I got up this morning and got laundry going since i hadn’t did any since Friday. We got some rain and heavy winds early in the morning. Tornado warnings were around us but we didn’t receive any bad storms.

I got up and started going through a few cabinets that needed to be straightened. I went through months of mail that needed to be sorted. What needed to be saved, i saved, the rest i tore our name and address off and burnt and the rest got thrown in the trash.

Around 10.30 am the sun came out and even though it’s on the windy side, the temperature is 64 degrees. I opened my windows to let some fresh air in.

I’ve also been putting away stuff that has been left out since we’ve been here for 2 months. It’s amazing how much stuff you leave out when your parked for a few months in spot.

Hamburgers and fried cabbage was the choice for dinner. I cleaned up dinner dishes and the rest of the evening was spent relaxing and early to bed.

Outing with a friend

I got up and got dressed. Today my friend Wanda and I are spending our last day together for the year.

She has a dr appt and then the rest of the day is gonna be spent going to quilt shops! Wanda loves to quilt and i used to do lots of it and i still enjoy looking through the shops.

After her dr visit, we headed to Rochester to our favorite quilt shop. After spending several hours just browsing it was time for lunch.

We decided on something different today. We went to a nice quiet place (i forget the name) but the food was wonderful. We opted to have the pony shoes and wow they were so good. They make their own white cheese sauce and man o man it was so good!

After lunch we headed to Hobby Lobby, yes it’s one of my favorite’s. I bought a quilt book with a few pattern’s i might like to try some day, a Christmas story panel and some material to make a throw with. I’m thinking it’s gonna be one of my winter project .. what you think?

Then it was time to head to Joann’s … quilters can’t pass up that one either. I did purchase a couple of cutting boards and another quilt book that had more patterns. Then it was on to Wal-mart as she needed some things. We finally got home around 6.30 pm and i threw a pizza in the oven for dinner and spent the evening watching TV with hubby.

A Day with family

We got up and got things around. Today we are spending the day with our Oldest son and his family. Yeppie a day with our precious grandkids.

We spent the day enjoying our last day with our grandkids. Our daughter in law is fixing us a nice supper (Thanks Heather) since we had plans to go visit hubby’s mom our daughter in law decided to take supper to her house and fix it. My mother in law is recovering from rotary cup surgery. We had supper and a wonderful visit and the day went by so fast.

We had plans to play games with our friends Cliff and Georgia but since we didn’t get home until late it was decided we’d skip game night. Instead we came home and i took a shower and was in bed by 8.30 pm. Yep, grandma was exhausted but it was a wonderful day spending it with family

A Day of running around

Today was a day of just moving as we wanted. Sometimes those days are wonderful. I love being able to move about and do what i want or just plain be lazy if i want.

Finally around 11 am we got dressed and decided we better get some grocery shopping done if we want food to eat next week.

First we stopped at Rural King to look at their 20T jacks and then it was over to Tractor Supply. They were cheaper at Rural King so it was back to there. Hey 10 bucks is 10 bucks, esp since they are only a few blocks from each other. Then i needed to stop by the Dollar Tree. Then we decided we were hungry and so we went to our favorite place, yep .. Chinese. After lunch we did the Aldie’s and Wal-mart run and by the time we got home it was getting late. We got home put things away and then headed to play games with our friends. We had a fun night.

more work

It was a cool morning and i spent my time on the computer mapping out our route for next week. I have our route, stops for fuel and overnight stay all marked out.

After lunch i decided to wash the awning … well part of it. I got the underneath side done but only part of the top side. It will not go down far enough for me to reach like our old one. I am not able to climb on top of our rig to wash it from the roof. (hubby will have to do it later)

Almost everything outside is put away, except for lawn chairs, outside rug and bbq grill. After i finished up i came inside and book reservations for Florida in March.

Friday we are heading to spend the night Jackson, Tn and then were heading to Mississippi about 60 miles from Mobile, AL. Then we will head to Florida near Tampa for a wedding.

It’s been a great time here and of course we didn’t get to do all that we would of liked. There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to. How true that song is.

After dinner we played games with friends and then it was home to get ready for another busy day tomorrow.

packing things away

I got up and got a load of laundry going and then i spent the morning just relaxing in my pj’s. After lunch i decided i better get busy getting some things done as we’ve decided on a departure date for Friday Oct 29th.

I took everything out from under the outside compartment and went through it and sorted what will go to storage and then put what was staying back. Then i gave 2 out of the 3 dogs a hair cut. Duke will have to wait until another day as the clippers gave out just as i was finishing up the 2nd dog.

After dinner we went and played games with friends and then it was back home and to bed.
