Took Linda to the doctor yesterday and she got her arm checked and the doctor said that it looked OK to him.  Probable from a fall in the camper and it will probably take awhile to heal itself.  He gave her some Celebrex to take and a prescription.  Will see how that works out.

Went to Pulga last Friday and really didn’t find anything but I enjoyed it.  I think that I will go again today.

I found the access to the slide motor on the front slide and it is broken.   I will more than likely have to buy two new ones to replace them.  $600 apiece, not looking forward to that.

We have a kitten here, Marty named it Princess.  Very nice little tiger kitten.  Chloe wants to chase it but Princess won’t run, in fact Princess really wants to be friends, rub against Chloe and all that.  Chloe wants no part of it.  They do touch noses once in awhile though.

She really does like Chloe.  I put out food and water for her.  Had to put out the water, she was on the car licking off the dew so I figure she must be thirsty.

Went to Church Sunday Oct 26th and the people working in Holy Grounds remembered me. Shocking!  I will go back to work after the third service next week Nov 2nd.  Time change next week.

We have had to run the air conditioner, not yesterday, it only got up to 87.  Not to bad in the house.  Today it is supposed to be 90 or higher, will probably have to turn it on.

Well, guess it is time to say Bye Y’all….

We are getting really close to home, Mission.  We are in Kingsville TX now for the night.  Nice campground but expensive.  $36 a night but I wanted to stop.  I think we are within three hours of home but I sure don’t want to get there when it is dark or almost dark.  I want to have time to get things picked up in the house and put stuff away from the camper and I don’t want to do it in the dark.

We had a good time with Don and LaVon, well, we also had a good time with everyone we stopped to see on the way.  We would like to have stopped to see Daryl and Cindy but Houston is not a place I like to be so maybe next year on the way home.  The problem is the camper doesn’t get around well and the car is attached and I would just as soon not unhook it if at all possible.

I will put in a couple of pictures here…

This is at Frost top.  We had Po Boys here and they were really good.  We would go back.  One of our meetings with Steve, Pam, Anna Grace, Rick and Connie.   Played a lot of Zilch.

Out to lunch with Don and LaVon at the Shack.  Time for Linda and I to go on a diet.  We have gained a lot of weight.

We have had a good trip so far and the last should only take about three hours, give or take.  We are anxious to get home now, or at least I am.

Well, time to say Bye Y’all…..

Back on the blog again.  We are coming to the end of our visit here in Picayune!  Time sure does fly!  Tomorrow we are heading for Texas. Saturday we should be in Magnolia and by next Wednesday we should be in Mission, give or take a couple days.

We went out to eat at Frost Top, a little place that we have been to before but has been so long ago I can’t remember it.  We had Po Boy sandwiches. Very good…

Rick, Connie, Steve, Pam, Anna Grace, Linda and I.  I think we were done eating here.  I would go back again.  We went over to Steve and Pam’s place after and played some Zilch. Good time.

Didn’t get a good picture of everyone but this one turned out good.  We were about to have ice cream.  We have been eating way to much, going to have to slow down a little.

The price of gas has been going down, went down to $2.87 yesterday so maybe by tomorrow it will be even lower.

Well, at least I wrote a little here and will be able to look back and see where we were in October 2014.

Time to say Bye Y’all….

Just got the security code for the Wi-Fi!  We arrived here in Picayune yesterday afternoon. Had a little problem, well, maybe a few problems.  We were listening to some cd’s and it started skipping, then we finally took that one out and put in another and it wouldn’t work at all.  Couldn’t get it out couldn’t shut it off, couldn’t do much of anything with it.   It was like the computer froze up and quit.  Well, after we got set up I pulled fuses until the radio finally shut off.

I guess this is the name of the park.  There is no other name that I see.  This is our second time here.  There is another park across the street put it is about $80 a week more than here.  Just doesn’t have showers or restrooms.  That is OK we can do without.  There looks to be a total of eight site here.  Very small but plenty of room.

Guess that was all of our problems except for getting ahold of the owner.  I have tried a half dozen times and no answer, just voice mail. Oh, the first site next to use has a little problem with the electricity so we moved next to it.  This one is OK.  Just reverse polarity so it probably would have worked but not going to chance it.

Guess it is time to say Bye Y’all….

We went up to Gerald MO to spend a few days with Don, Cheryl, Joe and Mary.  Got to go to Fulton to see Gianna also.  Had a great time with Gianna and looks like she really enjoys the college there.  Got a picture of her…

This is one of the big reasons she is at this college, horses!!  She love horses.

Got a few more pics…

This was at Bek’s.  Very nice place to eat.  Notice we are wearing our coats???  It is cold!

This is where we parked for about five days…

Went to Kline’s restaurant for breakfast, what a meal!!

We all  got the same thing, loaded biscuits.  Way to much to eat!

Working on the chicken house….

Mary needed something to do and the chicken house really needed painting. Removing the old paint was a pain.  We scraped this end and pressure washed the other end.  At least it had warmed up.

We got back to Sikeston on Wednesday the 8th and found that our other slide motor had broken, fell off, whatever.  Got to wait until we get to Texas to try to fix it.  Can’t even see this one.  Going to be a hard fix but will give me something else to do while down there.

Time to say Bye Y’all….

I have been keeping kind of busy here at the campground.  I am trying to get all the Roundup sprayed where it needs it and Mark asked me to mow the campground again before we leave.  Yesterday was a good day to do that.  Took about five hours to get it completely done.  It was pretty warm and I was tired after that so I had to take a nap. Rough but sometimes it is necessary.  Got a good picture last night of the sunset, not through the clouds but I think a farmer was burning his cornfield and it looked pretty neat.

At church last night we studied chapter 14 of Proverbs.  Had a good night.  Last night at church.  Will he heading for Gerald on Friday for a few days and to go see Gianna at Fulton on Saturday.  We will be heading towards Texas after that by way of Mississippi.  Want to visit Linda’s relatives down there.  It has been a long time.

Been really busy today!  I sprayed a couple bottles of Roundup and then went and did the laundry.  Got gas in the car and it was $2.98. Hope it keeps going down.   Still hurts to fill up the camper.

When I got home I dumped our holding tanks and put the hose away, then put the car up on the new dolly,tied it down got the lights hooked up and took the dogs for a walk.  The Lord was really good to me.  When I walked in the door from walking the dogs it started raining. Got everything done just in the nick of time.  Thank you Lord!

Took Miss Lorene out to Lambert’s on Monday.  We won’t see her again for awhile and it was her birthday Friday, wanted to give her a treat.

Had a good time with Miss Lorene.

I know that I missed a lot of stuff but I haven’t been keeping up with my blog like I should and I apologize for that,probably to myself because no one else reads it…..

Time to say Bye Y’all….
