Got up early this morning, we are heading to Gerald MO today to see Don and Cheryl.  We were going to go up there a couple of weeks ago but with the  weather the way it has been we really didn’t want to be traveling in the rain so we decided to wait.

Don and Cheryl have both been having some problems with their hearts!  Strange they both are having problems at the same time.

We left home at 8AM and stopped for gas down the road and it cost $80 to fill it up, I was surprised, didn’t have a heart attack but wondered why it took so much gas then I remember we filled up the last time somewhere in Arkansas and that was quite a while ago. 

We made it up to Gerald about 11AM maybe 11:30 but thought it was a good trip.  We parked and visited for awhile and then they took us for a ride to show us the area.  Rivers are overflowing and some roads are closed.

 

Got a picture of the Missouri River….

Some of the boat ramps, or slips, are floating!  Good thing they are anchored.

This is Jasmine.  She doesn’t care much for Sparky but she does put up with him, a little….

They took us out to Millers Grill for lunch and it was very good.  Linda had a steak and so did Cheryl.  Don had a hamburger and I had a catfish Po Boy.  It was very good.

They took us shopping at a 2nd hand store that had a lot of very interesting “stuff”.  It was fun looking at all the different stuff.  I didn’t get anything but Linda did.  She didn’t get much but a few things to take to Texas when we go.

We had a really good day of visiting and about 10PM Don and I were both ready to call it a day, which we did.  I think Linda and Cheryl stayed up for another hour.

We were amazed that there weren’t very many bugs there.  We could sit outside and not be bothered by flying bugs to bad.  Unfortunately they do have more than there share of wood ticks.  We felt like bugs were crawling on us most of the night, may have been, not sure but I found a tick crawling on me early in the morning.  Guess they aren’t wood ticks which is very good.

We are sleeping in the camper which is good for us, we needed to get the camper out and and get some use out of it.  It drives good but really sucks up the gas.

That’s our camper!  Time to say Night Y’all…
