HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013

 

New Years Eve was kind of a bust as we went over to the activity center here in the park. The evening was going good they the Dancing started. Well then the Ambulance came, an older man took a fall. The poor guy hit the floor like a sack of potatoes too. So that wrapped up most of our night. Hey I was getting tired any way. New Years Day Mark pulled out the grill and dropped some Great Iowa Steaks.

 

Notice my Diet Pepsi and everyone else has wine !!! The Chow was really good. Marti made twice baked potatoes Yummy. Mr. Ferner picked out a great cow too. Hey did you notice the napkins, they worked good too.

If this is the start of the New Year, it looks Great !!!!

Christmas in our Trailer House a first for US

 

 

Looking back on our first Christmas away from home. We decked the halls (trailer) to bring some Holiday Sprit. Wait there were no presents dam Santa didn’t forward the gifts.

Marti and I had a Great Holiday but the M & M’s. We thought lets go out for dinner OK. We ended up in Dendenin    Florida. The joint was High Class. I thought it was like putting Perfume on a Pig for Me. Marti on the other hand Looked Great.

The Chow was Great but the service was sub par. We had a great time with each other. I goofed around and Marti got embarrassed. Like I told her Who Cares !!!!

Chattanooga Tenn. or Georgia

 

We stopped in the mountain city of Chattanooga. We couldn’t miss a ride on the train.

This train goes straight up the mountain with one train going up and the other on the way down.

The view would have been great but it was a Cloudy Foggy Day. There’z always next time.

NASHVILLE

Well we finally made it to Nashville Tn. We left home with the thoughts of driving about 330 miles, but rolling along I pushed to Nashville. The only problem was the Dam GPS quit while going thru Nashville. We got settled in at a nice CG.

Marti has always wanted to see the Radio City Rockettes well in Chicago, the were coming but not till after we left. I searched and found out they were in Nashville. I got some great tickets as they were second row center stage. I was the Good Husband that day, I never told her the cost of the tickets.

We also saw the show of Shrek the Halls. This was a show of Ice Sculptures, Yes Ice needs to be Cold too. The Temp inside was 9 Degrees yep that’s right. Two Old Birds go south to keep warm and they go in an Ice House Dumb !!!

 

 

 

When you got to go You got to Go

Shrek and his buddy I won’t know who he is ?? Just ask a kid they will know

We did have a great time once we Warmed Up

Wish I had some pictures of the Rockettes  I still have the images burnt into my head. Yep I keep trying the High Kicking.

Traveling Yogi and Gus

 

Well we wondered how Gus would take to going back to the RV. Gus loved the living to the Cellar at home. Our Crazy Cat would use the hallway for a Runway. Well being blind in one eye and going the Speed of Cat, his Brakes Failed a time or two. The Amish cabinets really stopped him, the Goof would lay there and wonder  What Happened ??

Gus is always ready to help Grammie with a Quilt. Well the quilt table is back home & Gus in Rolling down the road.

 

Yogi is telling OK Gus let’s go !!! so we hit the road.

Tough Day Traveling right Gus

Yogi just asked me Ok Where’z my Pictures ??? OK Yogi

That’s better !!!

Get this Cat away from me Now

OK More to follow and yes Gus is doing well in the little trailer.

Reflecting Back on Four Winters of Travel

 

Ok we are here in Florida for parts of the Winter. I was thinking today what a great life we have. This is the start of our fourth winter in Warm weather. I can honestly say I don’t miss the Snow Shovel or the Traffic Jams. I will say I have Never Seen Mosquitoes as Big as here.

I tell Marti everyday how fortunate we are to be able to live our lives traveling this Great Country. We meet new people every day, hey some you won’t mind breaking Bread with others wouldn’t be so Lucky.

One of the down sides is times we miss stuff at home both with our kids MJ & Mark Ok we miss the dogs too. We really miss our Church& friends, but traveling is some thing we always wanted to do. I guess people will have to allow us to explore our dreams, hey it is our Life.

 

This year we are doing something different as we will be with new friends for the Christmas Holiday. Heck we haven’t met the New Friends yet. I’m not sure how this is going to work out as I will really Miss our family Christmas Eve and the Celebration of the birth of Christ. Well as the saying goes Times are a Changing !!

Today we decorated the 5th wheel and it was 80 degrees that’s a first too. I will be looking for some more lights to Spark Up the RV site.

 

We have been using the electric fireplace so we can’t hang Yogi or Gus’s stockings. We just hope Santa stops here with our gifts I know Yogi will be on his Best Behavior, and Gus no one Knows.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!

There’z a New Cat in the House ……. GUS

 

Ok I’m Gus the new cat. I was alone at the Mercer County Fairgrounds. I was in a pack of four or five kittens. I was the Runt of the litter I got picked on and Lost an Eye in a scrap. Well a Rally came to the Fair Grounds and I thought this might just be my way Out of Here !! There was 200 RVers there with some nice warm houses, WOW. I thought I wonder if I could find a Sucker (wait a Mommy).
