Back to work

I woke up this morning realizing that this was the last day here in paradise. We have to leave today and go back to work far far away. I rolled on out of bed and noticed that Sherri was way ahead of me. She was in the living room working at the desk and drinking coffee. I guess I must have missed the wake up call? I poured me a cup of coffee and went back to take my shower and get ready for the day. Before we could move we had several chores that had to be handled before we took off.

I got my shower finished the first cup of coffee and poured the second. I got all my receipts together and sat down at the dining room table to finish my expense report for June. Yes I know it is almost the middle of July. I just can't get disciplined enough to do my receipts each day! I am looking forward to not doing them at all...but then being paid to travel is not all that bad.

It was getting on to 11:30 when we finished our reports and thought about eating some lunch. We did not have anything quick except tuna fish so Sherri whipped that up and we had it for lunch.

Now it was time to get the RV ready for travel. We have a long journey...about 1 1/2 mile to the lake lot so we have to be get started. I am being funny now...I have to dump real good so that for the next few weeks at our lot we will not have to dump. When that time rolls around again we just pull up stakes and head back to the State Park for a day or two and clean everything up. Not a bad deal really and it gives us a break from the same old place all the time.

The State Park at Tawakoni is a great park and if you are ever in that area I highly recommend it to you.

We arrived at the lot and Sherri backed me in. This time we pulled over a little further so we could park the truck next to the RV. It all worked out well and by having the extended culvert we had no problem backing in! I was happy we spent the $ to get that done.

Well we did some wash and cleaned up some stuff and then it was time to finish packing and load the truck. I never load the truck correctly but I gave it my best shot. Sherri started out driving and then we stopped at a rest stop and I took over. The trip to Louisiana seem to take longer but we passed the time listening to our new CD's We have some sixty's music we bought through a contribution to Public Broadcasting out of Dallas Texas. We have all the hits from that time and then all the Beatles's and Rolling Stone's greatest hits! That all helped pass the time and soon we were in Shreveport checking into our hotel.

We met Becky and Rick down in the lobby and made plans for our dinner that evening. We walked down the street to the Blind Tiger and had a wonderful meal and a great visit. Caught up on everything since our last meal together...three days ago...then headed back to the hotel.

Tomorrow will come early so I better head on out of here and and get some sleep and dream of times to come...
