River Trip

We are finishing up our trip to the Colorado River. We met some friends down there. It was a fun trip, celebrating my birthday! Never a dull moment on this trip. First while we were out geocaching, our water hose burst. A neighbor came over to turn it off..we created a wonder river! O no!! Then we sprung a small hole leak in our sewer hose. So H had to get an extender & cut the hole out. Then when we left & stopped @ a rest stop the potty lid had came loose. So H had to put the little washer back on. C our friend got us back into geocaching again..we did about 11 while @ the river. It was really fun to find little goodies..hoping to put some pics in..so until next time...keep those tires rolling

Almost retriement time

Time has flown by fast. We have really downsized our stuff. I will be quitting my job on the 10th. Be strange not working after 20+ years. Can't wait to catch up on things. I have knitting & sewing projects that are waiting in the wings. Next Sat we take off for a little R'n R @ Havasu Landing Resort in So Cal. It will be our first time pulling the 5th wheel loaded. Had to get a exhaust brake on the truck due to H souping up the truck. A guy thing. Then I will have time to mess with the pics from trips etc. H is working till Dec 3 then we head to Ky for Christmas. Haven't been home for the Holidays for about 19 yrs. It is about time. Be exciting having the Holidays with family. Until next time keep those tires rolling!

Slow go

It has been a slow time. We have been working overtime at our jobs. Need to go through some boxes before we go to Havasu Landing in Sept for a week. Howard has decided to work a few more months. Leaving him to make his decision. Had to be in His timing. I heard from a friend I need to put up some pics..well guess that is my next learning curve. Work has been fine, will give my notice soon. I miss knitting with my friends...have had dr app etc. Dont' know if we will go to Alaska next year. Might go up to New England for the summer. Have relatives up there & cousins we haven't seen for a while. Be nice to visit with them. Might get a summer volunteer job while we are there. Well that's it for now...Keep those tires rolling!!

Packing/unpacking

We finally made it home with our new 5th wheel...I have to do some pics. Found out we need an exhaust brake...coming down those mountains is kinda scary. Finally got out of our apt & have way toooo much stuff. I really need to downsize my crafts. Also I love to collect cookbooks/recipes. Have to donate some of those also. We have joined Escapees..they have so much information. That's about it this time so until next time...keep those tires rolling!

Coming home

Well here we are in Bakersfield...on our way home with our new 5th wheel..it has been very hot. Yesterday we stayed in Needles where it hit 116..so we spent the time in the pool at the casino. Getting up at 6 am to beat the heat is no fun, but we do make it to our next destination early to stop to enjoy the day. We had to have just a few things fixed our our new home. Had to get a new brake controller as ours didn't like the trailer..also bought a new tail-gate from Brian. It didn't work on his truck. A bargin for us. I love my new kitchen. Today when we stopped one of the chairs had hit the kitchen island so will have to fixed the scratches...just 2..whew !! Don't want to mess up our new home!! Tomorrow we get home to Auburn where we will stay in a spot at a mobile home park. Then back to work. We also have a week to clean out our apt. Then we'll have to go through stuff again. So till next time...keep those tires rolling!

Horses & White Castles!

What do they have in common? Kentucky & the Derby..we've just returned. The first place we stop is White Castle. If you've never had one of these sliders..they are DEEEElicious...being raised on them I might be bias. They are about the size of your palm. Betcha can't eat just one. If you ever pass through the east check 'em out. This is the time for the Ky Derby, first weekend in May. This year I didn't do very well. My wonderful hubby did win a few races & also a Derby Jackpot with Super Saver. We need a triple crown winner, hope he comes through this year. Preakness is this weekend so will know Saturday. The track for Derby was really muddy. We had a family reunion which we eat, eat, fellowship & eat some more...pictures to follow soon. Sunday we get-together eat & play poker...all in the family. Until next time....keep those tires rolling!

Derby time

This time of year the flowers are blooming, making allergies fun..not...also it is almost Derby time in Kentucky. The running for the Roses. This year we are going home to see who wins this year. Very seldom does the favorite win. I always bet on a long shot horse..they have came in. Making my winnings prosperous.!! We will also travel to W.Va to visit H's family. He grew up on a farm there. Chickens, pigs, cow, gardens the whole gamit. My grandparents lived on a farm also, as a kid we had much fun there. My Aunt/Uncle lived with them also. The house dates back to the 1850's... I always imagined it as a wonderful Bed/Breakfast. It has this crickety bridge I am afraid to drive over. My Grandfather drove over it & I would always shut my eyes, just knowing we would end up in the creek. It wasn't that deep, maybe just a foot. Being little it seemed like 3 ft. All the news for now...except June 1st we go to New Mexico to get our 5th wheel..until next time..keep those tires rolling!
