Looks like a nice day today, it isn’t raining so must be going to be a nice day.

We won’t be doing much today I have to work in the office this afternoon, should be a pretty good day.

Well, most things went pretty good, I took my computer in with me to give me a little something to play with.  My computer gives me problems sometimes.  Like Facebook, I can’t get on Facebook with this computer.  Not sure what the problem is but it won’t let me do anything on Facebook. It goes to the homepage and that is all it will do, I can’t look up anything and there are no posts.  Oh well, guess I will have to use my other computer.

Things were pretty slow today, picked up around quitting time though.  The last three campers came in right around 7PM maybe a little before. I had all the bookwork done and then had to change it.  Oh well, I was a little late getting home.

Linda’s rash isn’t getting any better, guess we will have to go see the doctor Monday and see if there is anything he can prescribe for her condition.

We are pretty much taking it easy tonight. Nothing on TV that is really good.  Terrible to have a couple hundred channels and nothing on what a bummer!

Time to say Night Y”all….

Yes, I am going back to work today.  Grant and I will do some cleanup on Russell Street and Mark wants another shed taken down.

We loaded up some wet carpeting and it took all the both of us had to get it on the little trailer. 

We had another piece that was just as heavy and we tried to cut it but didn’t have the right tools so we finally got it loaded and told Ms. Lorene that we would be back soon to tear her shed down.  She moved some of the stuff out of it and when we got back we tore down the the shed and got most of it loaded on the trailer, couldn’t get it all but then there is still next week…

The trailer is sitting to the right and the place where the old shed was is in the center of the picture.  The trees, bushes etc on the left is why I am trying to get my chain saw started!  I told Ms. Lorene I would get them down for her.  Russell Street could use about a month of chain saw and hauling to make it look nice.

I did take a picture of Ms. Lorene but she didn’t want me to, in fact she didn’t know I took it but I am not going to post it because that wouldn’t be very nice of me to do something like that.

I mowed Russell Street this afternoon and I will have to tell you I am sore, back and derriere.  Way to much sitting on this mower.  It didn’t use to bother me but lately it sure does.

When I got home, Linda had gotten the NuWave cook top I ordered.  It is an induction cooktop and we thought we would try it to see if it works.  The utensils, or pans, have to be good conductors.  It did work good, after I put on my glasses and saw that it has a “start” button.  It does heat up very fast and it can be controlled by increments of ten degrees.  Seems to work very good.

Guess it doesn’t look like to much but it does work good and the frying pans work great. They are enamel coated and excellent non-stick pans.

Well, this was another day of back aches so I took some pain reliever, which works very well, and sat in the recliner and slept part of the evening.  We did watch a bunch of “Storage Wars” episodes.  They are usually pretty good.

Time to say Night Y’all…

I think I may take today off but it is turning out to be a really nice day so I may go in just to see if there is anything I need to do.

Well, Grant’s girlfriend is leaving today so he is taking the morning off and I am going to do some more mowing.  Guess that will be OK, I like to mow and Mark said to do the easy parts which doesn’t include moving the picnic tables.  I kept mowing figuring Grant would be in shortly.  I think I got about half of it mowed so he doesn’t have a lot left to do.  I took the rest of the afternoon off.

I had to go to the social security office to get a net Medicare card and get a new spark plug for the chain saw.  I’ve been trying to get the saw started so I could trim some trees for Ms Lorene.  She is a sweet older lady that has a son that could do some of these things for him but doesn’t.

OK I did something here and I can’t get it back to the regular printing.  I am going to say Night Y’all…..

Back to work today, it is just a beautiful day out today.

I mowed the mobile home park today.  Took awhile and my back really got to hurting while mowing.  Guess it is not a real comfortable tractor, couldn’t be that I’m getting old could it???

I finished around 5PM I think and went on home.  Not much going on tonight, not much on TV.  Went to church and had a lesson on the “Seed Principle”.  It was really good.  Glad that people join in in the discussions. Hopefully my Sunday School Class with be comfortable enough to start joining in with the lessons.

Like I said, not much going on tonight so I will say Night Y’all…

Today we head back home.  It will be later though.

Don and I had coffee and just enjoyed the beautiful morning.  No gnats flying around here but plenty of ticks.

I got Linda up around 8AM and we had breakfast.  Cheryl had fresh fruit and we brought the cinnamon rolls from home.  They went very well together.

We walked around  their pond and got a couple of pictures..

Even though you can’t see the pond it is to Linda’s left.  We fed the fish and looked at the the lilies on the pond….

They sure are pretty!

We had lunch and headed on home around 2PM.  I know it is going to be a long drive, well, about 180 miles, give or take.  I stopped for gas and filled up and it cost almost $100!  The drive home was pretty uneventful.  It got pretty warm but the drive was nice.  We got back in time to vote, just before 6PM and then on home.  I filled up with gas again and it was over $80 so taking this for rides isn’t a real good way to travel.  We enjoyed it though and enjoyed the visit with Don and Cheryl.

We relaxed tonight and went to be kind of early.  Needed to get some rest.  Glad to be home….Night Y’all…

Monday June 3rd 2013

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…

Saturday and Sunday June 1-2 2013

Haven’t kept up again!  I haven’t even been on the computer for a few days so now here I go again trying to remember what we did a thousand years ago!  Well, maybe not a thousand years but sure seems like it when I try to remember what we did way back then!

I had to ask Linda what we did Saturday.  I forgot that I went to work and spent the afternoon in the office.  I had the computer with me so I must have posted the last couple of days today…..

Work went pretty good, didn’t keep real busy and it was raining, at least until about 3PM then it started clearing off.  Turned out to be a pretty nice afternoon, a little cool but not bad.

Sunday was my first class in Sunday School.  First Linda and I made some cinnamon rolls last night, at least the dough, and baked them this morning. 

I was really nervous this morning and Linda got up early and about 8:15AM and I figured it was time to go and Linda said it was to early but I don’t listen very good and when we got there, there wasn’t any cars there and I looked at my watch again and figured out, for myself, that we were over an hour early, I don’t catch on to fast sometimes.

I think the Sunday School class didn’t go very well, I was hoping for input from everyone and that didn’t happen.  It really didn’t go all that bad I guess and hopefully someone got something out of it.

Sunday night was good.  Linda and I both liked the sermon.  Randy did a good job.

Well, not a lot to talk about for today.  I was tired and kind of deflated so guess that I will say Night Y’all…
