And End to a Great Year

Counting down the last days

Tuesday

Yesterday Sherri and I drove out to Becky and Rodney’s to get on line and post some journal entries. Sherri had some bills to pay and check accounts to balance and we got all that done. We looked around on the Web to see what there was in the way of State Parks in Oklahoma. Mark and Dortha had planned on doing something with us but they had some other things come up that made them cancel out so Sherri and I decided that it was time for us to get away together and have some fun. Anyway those plans are in the making.

We had to go to Canton to pick up some stuff for the RV and on the way there I got a phone call from Weldon. He had already read Sherri’s journal entry about her new Birthday present and he was congratulating us on the “Dream Trailer”. They were in Canton and here we were on the way to Canton so we made plans to meet at Jewels Restaurant for lunch. We had the nicest visit and Sherri told her story about her surprise.

After eating lunch Sherri and I needed to run to Wally World and get some supplies so we all decided to go. Weldon and Sandy needed to pick up some things too for their booth at Canton. By the way if any of you are going through Canton on First Monday weekend give me a call and I will tell you how to get to Sandy’s booth. She sales purse inserts that are the greatest thing!
We got all our shopping done and we invited Sandy and Weldon to come on out to the base camp and see our new trailer. They followed us out and we showed them around the place. I had to show Weldon my new shop and all the projects that I had finished. We had a real good time and soon it was time to say goodbye to the two of them. Thanks Sandy and Weldon for sharing some of your time with us.

I guess we will stay here one more day and then on the first we will pull out and head back to Carrollton to our park there. We have had a wonderful Christmas here and we both hope that all our friends and family had just as good a time where they were. I will have a few more post before I return to my DSL sight so they will be downloaded then. Until that time I will say my goodbyes.

Wednesday

This weather is getting better everyday. This morning we woke up to clear sky and warm temps. If this keeps this up we may make this our winter stop over! I got up and made the coffee and shortly after the pot started perking Sherri appeared from the bedroom. Yes we had out little buddy with us…he has become a fulltime boarder with us… LOL
June and Jim or coming this morning about 10:00 and Sherri wants to clean up. When Weldon and Sandy came over we did not have a chance to pick up. Sherri was so embarrassed about the state of the trailer when they came over…sorry Sandy and Weldon we will have you back over when things are clean. Anyway Sherri wants to get started this morning cleaning up so that she will have good showing. We sat for a while and drank our coffee and went over some plans for the day then we had to get ready for the day.

June and Jim came over and had a nice visit. They could not stay long because they had to head to Aubrey to see their kids. They will be up there until after the first. I told Jim, that Sherri and I would come back down and finish up some more projects they have in mind. OK and you know we would have to have some fun thrown in there too.

Tonight is New Years Eve! We have a bowling tournament planned on Wii. This kids as I may have mentioned before got Wii for Christmas so the big folks have commandeered it for the evening. We are going to have a bash bowling and drinking Sparkling Grape Juice. We gave the little ones some Juice too and soon they had passed out…not from the drink OK …it was 1:00 in the morning. We had so much fun bowling and laughing and ringing in this new year.

Thursday

Happy New Year! I hope all of you have a great and wonderful 2009. I know that I made my favorite girl happy this year. We are now planning our retirement life and not looking at trailers anymore! What a good feeling to know that that is all behind us now and we can plan some trips.
The first thing today is to plan on getting back to the park in Carrollton. I will have to take a break here and get some stuff loaded up. I will finish this entry when we get back there.
We made it back here to Carrollton and got parked with very little trouble. Sherri and I have parked many RV’s in our time and we seem to make a real good team. We got all the slides out and got the porch put back where it belongs and then started to clean up the RV for some pictures to send all the family and friends. We picked out several that we thought represented the interior at its best.

I hope that you enjoy them and I will try to get some of the outside storage later.
We are heading into Oklahoma tomorrow exploring some State Parks. I will take the camera and post them tomorrow evening. We might meet back up with Dortha and Mark at the casino if they are still there when we swing through. They will be at the Windstar with Ellie and Jim. We might see you guys there.

OK that is it for today…I hope to catch you all again Somewhere in Time.
