Everything Changed

The alarm sounded this morning at 5:00 am and we both shot up out of bed. I had made the coffee the night before so all we had to do was flip the switch. We both sat down in our recliners in the dark and waited for the coffee maker to sound the alarm…telling us that the brew was ready. What seemed like an eternity passed before the chime went off and we were up mixing all the ingredients into our cups to mask the taste of the freshly brewed coffee.

Sherri only had a short time to drink her cup due to the earlier than usual start time at work. She took the last sip and she was up and running. I sat there and finished my cup and then began to run some dish water for the dishes. I folded up the throws and hung them on the back of the chairs and then moved over to the computer to work on my journal. I try to do my entry while Sherri is getting ready so she and I can visit for a bit before she heads out the door.

Sherri left and then I finished my chores so I could have one more cup of coffee and then go out to start my walk. I am really trying to get in the habit of walking and exercising each and every day so as to reduce my weight and my cholesterol. So far I have done real good while we have been here at this park.

Sherri called me about the time I walked in the door from my stroll around the park. She informed me that they would be heading to Shreveport next week and we would be staying in a motel. Well this changed all my plans. We would have to postpone the reservations to Tres Rios RV Ranch and reschedule the dryer repair for a later date. Now you say “Speedy your being too calm about all this”…well if we go to Shreveport I can stay at the casinos all day while Sherri works. I can catch the shuttle to any casino there. The one that will be the best is Diamond Jacks for breakfast there. I love their omelets and all the trimmings.

I can get the dryer fixed at a latter date and Tres Rios will be there the next time I am headed that way. We will have to go to Tawakoni State Park for two days while I get the electric hooked up to the barn. We will be leaving our RV there for the week and driving to Shreveport. I think I will try to get the guy to put in my driveway Friday or Saturday so that will be done. Then if I have the time I will take the truck by and have them check it out before we leave.

I know you are thinking….Speedy sure changes the plans a lot. That is why Speedy has stopped making plans. With Sherri’s job keeping us moving around all the time we just have to go with the flow. So far the flow has been OK and we have been able to have enough time to see some sites and still have fun.

Well, appears that next week will be exciting and I will get my breakfast everyday! Please bear with me while I hop around the country from place to place. Soon we will be more organized in our week to week schedules…NOT…why would I want to be organized….I am retired…
