Perry Adventures!

So, here we are enjoying the Fair Harbor RV Park. Been here 2 night and we're staying another night. We are planning a trip to Andersonville to see the Confederate prison camp tomorrow. We got sidetracked today. There was a Samboree at the fairgrounds here. The Mennonites were cooking so off we went. Was a great meal and I picked up a little something too. We watched the quilt auction for awhile. Then I thought I'd pick up a quilt for Nancy cause she loves quilts. The bidding started at $300 for the handmade quilts. Needless to say Nancy isn't getting a quilt. Sorry Nanny!
Our adventure wasn't over. We had dinner at Cracker Barrel. This was the best and friendliest Cracker Barrel we have ever been in. After dinner we had to find a Lowe's to get something to fix the shower that I broke. We ended up in Warner Robins. What a nice city. It had all of our favorite food groups. We said we have to stay another night and try out another restaurant....lol
Rick picked up some donuts for breakfast in the morning. Hopefully we will go to Andersonville early then we can just relax. We'll leave on Monday morning for places north.
Good night!

Here it is 2011 already and I never continued with this cool blog my friend, Pammie, made for me. Thank you again, Mz Pammie!
I am going to blog our adventures while rv'ing. This is the 2nd night on the road and we have pushed it to get to Perry, Ga. We finally got most everything fixed on the rv. They replaced the faulty camera and finished fixing the other "items" except for the puncture on the divider. The manager said to get it fixed and he will pay the bill. Nice of him to cover it since Coachmen wouldn't pay for the repair. Yes, I will write them a note soon...lol...  While waiting on the rv repairs we rode around Lake City, Jasper and surrounding communities. We put flowers on Vivian's grave. Rick was very sad. It's still hard on him losing his Mom. Hard to believe she has been gone 4 years.
So, I have come to the conclusion after driving around most of the day, north FL has more correctional facilities and churches than anywhere I've ever been. Something is wrong up here, I just don't know what....LOL...
On a happier note, we took the dogs to a local groomer for baths. They were stinky critters and needed a shower. The groomer did an awesome job. They smell so good and were so tired that they slept all the way to Perry!
If your ever in Lake City go to Ken's BBQ. That was the best bbq pork sandwich I ever tasted. Louis needs to come up here and let Ken show him how to bbq a hog!
I made some pictures as we were driving along of the cotton fields. I hope they look ok. Now, I know my blog isn't as good as Chris' blogs are but hopefully I will get better...LOL.... It's hard to live up to Chris' standards!!
Night all!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! As you can see I haven't kept up with my blog since November. I am glad things are slowly turning around here. Rick is back to work and hating it. Other than having surgery and the pain he enjoyed his 7 months of pre-retirement practice from working. I failed tho. I think he is going to have to have a hobby to keep him busy and out of trouble!!
We had a fairly quiet Christmas. No big wild parties. Nothing exciting here with no small kids around. Then New Year's Eve we went to my son's home and watched movies. His step-son Martin had a party for the old people. hahaha.... We toasted the new year in with Sparkling Grape Juice. 2008 was a wonderful vintage...LOL
Martin had fun and was such a cute host. Second graders make wonderful hosts when you let them!
We all had fun and that is the mail thing!
On a sad note, my cousin's wife died New Year's Day. The family is still in shock. Of all the people in that branch of the family she was the last one we would have expected to go first. Like her daughter said to me...This is a nightmare. Say a pray for the whole family they need it so much.
I think I finally have my DSL fixed. Took getting the repairman out here and working on the wires. Then we found out that it's the modem. So, they are sending me a new one. Thank goodness. But at least now I am up to speed and can stay online instead of blanking out!.....LOL
I'm going to try to keep this blog up but you know I lead a dull life and sometimes I can find nothing to write about. Maybe the dogs will do something cute!
LOL
Have a great week!
Sue

I know... I am so lax when it comes to posting on this beautiful blog Pammie made me. I really meant to keep it up but it didn't work out that way!
I made some pictures of the last shuttle lift off from my porch. I made the picture from my front porch. The shuttle didn't lift off from my porch...hahaha
I'm going to try putting this on my blog if it works I'll be surprized!...hahahaha

Life in the Slow Lane

Another lazy weekend here... sorta. When you're practicing for retirement you have to get used to having six Saturdays and one Sunday. Sounds easy doesn't it?....NOT! You run out of things to do so you resort to taking the puppies outside 100 times a day. Not realizing they like going out so much, they train you to go out more and more till you are taking them outside 100 times a day! They are good trainers, better liars and they get rewarded with cookies and praise during the training. As a treat, you get to go outside and stand in the hot sun, sweat till you're wet and get skin cancer from so much sun exposure. Doesn't seem fair in my book. You should at least get a cookie or two or three.

My First Time

Wow! My own blog! Who would think that I... lil o me ...would have a blog!
I think I am going to just start keeping a diary here of the wonderful things that happen in my life. Come back next week for an update! hahaha
If you like my blog, thank Pammie. She is the genius behind this blog. Maybe we can blame her now rather than Shirley?
hahaha
