Out to see the sights with Carey!
It sure is cool this morning. Glad we are near the coast so it didn't frost on our car. My car doesn't know what frost is and has never seen a flake of snow. I don't want to traumatize it yanno! This has been a wild trip. I will be doing reviews of the campgrounds we stayed in this time. Some are good and some just didn't make the cut. That means we won't be going back again. Fool me once and I don't go back.
Also, got my hair done yesterday and she charged me $25 just to wash and blow dry my hair. Of course, she knew we were just visiting and probably wouldn't be back. Gotta watch these people! From now on I will be saying we are moving close by so they don't peg me as easy...LOL... Everyone knows how easy I am!! ROFL
The park we are in now is the same one we stayed in 2 yrs ago. Different people here now and not nearly as nice as the other couple. Basically Rick was told to make a reservation next time or don't bother coming back. No wonder the people were leaving outta here in droves the next day. First, the lady told Rick she didn't have any spaces so Rick says not a problem. I'll go somewhere else. Suddenly she found a space for us near the pool, as if we will swim in this weather! But we have some interesting neighbors here. All types of people and breeds of dog in this park. More small pit bulls are walked around here than I usually see in parks. The only downside is their lack of training and they need training when around other dogs.
I noticed coming into the park they had a welcome sign out for the snowbirds. I was surprised that people would winter here but then I'm used to seeing so many "up north" people staying in FL over the winter that I think they ALL come to FL or AZ....lol... I say come on down, bring plenty of money and leave early!!...lol
I better get ready now. My ride will be here soon and I need to collect my gear! See ya next time with more news!

Never enough time for all the fun...
I finally have access to the internet again. So, I will be filling in some of the things we did during the down time in the next few entries. In the meantime, as soon as we crossed the South Carolina state line I started sneezing and had a full blown allergy attack. My first since we left FL. I guess the low country disagrees with me...lol... Rick said do you want me to take you back to Rhonda's? Of course, I said YES!! It may be cold there but at least I don't have any allergies! OK. I'll finish this tomorrow when I am more awake!...lol

Tired tired tired tonight! Everything we did turned to poop! aarrrggghhhh!! So first we had to change plans because Rick only wants to be gone a week. I thought we were going for 2 weeks. Obviously we traveled on different wave lengths when discussing this vacation. I'm not going to make it to the mountains to see the fall leaves nor to the winery which was my goal to begin with. I even thought we might see my great aunt Mary. That ain't gonna happen either. So, here we are stuck in an RV park in Santee that advertised one price but changed it when Rick went in to pay for the site. It has no cable and ya'll know I can't miss Dancing With The Stars!! So we tried the regular TV and just as DWTS was over Rick figured out how to get the TV to stay on channel. One of us asked that the antenna be rotated to start with, not mentioning any names.
I am hoping that tomorrow is better. We are going to see my niece, Rhonda. I am expecting some awesome coffee from their new coffee maker. And maybe a side trip to some place cool!
Then we are off to visit my long time friend who is like a brother to me, Carey. He promised us a grand tour of Charleston and Rick is excited about it. I'm thinking it is time to post this entry and hit the bed. Like I said it was an awful day! Say a prayer that tomorrow is better!

Our second day on the road.We are camped in Fair Harbor in Perry GA. A very nice campground to stay in and go sightseeing which is what we did this afternoon. Found a place called Lane Orchards. Yummmm... clobber and ice cream! Much better than the place we saw driving up here yesterday! We saw a sign that said..#1 Spa...  and the next sign said... Drive thru sushi! My kid says... Great! Sex and dinner in just 2 stops!....LOL.... This should be a fun trip if I can ever get rested up. More to come later as we continue our trip north. Sleep tight peeps!...LOL

Veteran's Day 2011

I'm hanging with my Vet today! He got up early and walked the bridge with our daughter. Then.....bless his heart....he came home and fixed brunch for us. Now, we are sitting here playing on the computers and listening to the road shakers at work. I am sure they will shake my home off its foundation!! We've lived in the same place for 36 years and they finally decided to surprise us with a "new road". When we got home from the last rv'ing trip we had a dirt road in place of the asphalt one we had when we left home. SURPRISE!! Just what I needed to see as a welcome home gift. I should be grateful but after so many years, why did they wait so long???.... Oh, wait!! I know why!! They ran out of road work to do in south Brevard County so ...FINALLY.... We poor North Brevardians are on the receiving end of this great road work. Can you tell I am excited? Oh well, when you retire life, throws you many surprises that you can do without....LOL...
Time to go take my Vet for a ride. Lots of places are giving away free lunches to the Vets and I want to make sure he gets his just desserts! Gotta love him...he is mine!

A time to reflect on things

We made it back home and as usual I got busy and didn't do the blog. I had such a hard time with a wifi connection in the campgrounds that I couldn't even write on the blog most days. Disappointing for me cause its nice to go back and remember the little things you forget. I'm not much of a writer it seems. I do better when writing fiction stories than real life stories. I need to expand and re-do my fiction site. Maybe write some more stories for kids.
I want to take a moment and tell you about how much God has given me in life. I have 2 great kids but you all knew that because I say it often. My husband tho..... I can never say enough good things about him. He is my life and my love. He has been and continues to be the best friend I ever had.... just took me a little longer to understand that fact than it takes most people. I can be slow but that is because I am a Scorpio and they are stubborn people. My Mother called me this morning talking about him. She calls him her angel. She says she thought Rick could do anything and she has ask him to do just about everything! Someone knocked down her mailbox. We went Sunday to get a new post and new mailbox for her. He installed it this morning and she is just thrilled. It takes so little to excite an 87 yr old lady sometimes! She says she is going to make him a cake. He will be pleased cause he likes to eat. He fits in our family real good. A family friend told my sister once that our family was the only one he knew that made eating a sport! That happens when you have great cooks in the family.
My love just came in and told me what our plans were for today. He has us a trip scheduled and he wants me to go with him. Gotta love a man that looks out for your well being. He said we'd go after we have some lunch! Whatta sport!

Museum visit.

I didn't write anything about yesterday's museum visit. We went to the Tobacco Farm Life Museum in Kenly, NC. It was a very interesting tour. Rick saw all the old farm equipment. And there were buildings that were modeled on farm life in NC back when tobacco was king. The life was hard but the people built a life for themselves and their families. We didn't do much else because it was supposed to rain so we came back to the RV. Tomorrow is laundry day. We were going to do laundry today but opted to spend the time with Rhonda. She took us to a great little place for hots and fries. The food was wonderful.
Wow! The wind is really blowing tonight and sounds scary but so far we haven't moved much in the RV. Rick is already in bed snoring so he isn't scared abit....LOL
goodnight family....I love you all!
