Saturday Morning Move

We were not to swift at getting up this morning. My alarm went off at 6:00 am and I just laid there for sometime thinking of reasons not to get up. I then realized what day this was and that I had to pack out of here by 9:00 so we could get to the family reunion in East Texas by 11:00 am. We started this reunion last year and plan to have it the last Saturday in May from then on. So far we have had good attendance and a lot of fun visiting with all the family. This would be Sherri's side of the family...mine does not have reunions.

Getting back to leaving...we have been in Sandy Lake RV Park for over 3 years now and it was kind of bitter sweet leaving. We had a prime spot...that we had networked our way into over time and really hated to lose it. I am sure we will swing back through here over the years when we come back to this area for doctors and what not. It has been a good place to spend the last 3 years with the location and all.

So we packed it in and had everything ready to go by 10:00...we wanted to leave by 9:00 but that did not happen. We did not move as fast as we had planned but then I have to get in the habit of not rushing around to move. When I do that I forget things and that is not good when you are hooking up a trailer.

We made it to the reunion without any problems...I am always thankful for that...and pulled the rig into my nephews drive about 11:30. Most everyone was there and we sat our chairs up with the group and started our visit. Before we fixed our food for lunch I had to unhook the truck from the 5th wheel and carry some extra S T U F F out to the barn at the lake. I just wanted to lighten our load as much as possible so we could squeeze all the MPG out of the truck that I could get.

My youngest daughter showed up with all her children...absent was Frank her husband who was at work at the fire house. She graduated from the police academy last month and was sworn in this last week. She received her badge and was showing it to everyone. We were all on our best behavior while she was there LOL.

Our plan was to leave about 5:00 and head on over to Shreveport and stay the night. So at 5:00 we said our good-byes and backed out of the drive pointed the truck East and left on our journey...our first journey of my retirement...it is actually here!! WOW I'll leave you with some pictures of our reunion and will update you on the arrival in Shreveport ....

Somewhere in Time

Gathering under the trees and visiting with family

There was plenty of food to eat and we sure did eat it.

Jennifer got her badge last week after taking the oath and she was on hand to make sure there was no law breaking going on.
