Catch Up Time

I am not very good at keeping this updated, talked to brother-in-law the other day and he said he checks it once in a while, so guess I better work on writing more here.

We are keeping busy, Roger worked on the siding for some time and has it finished for now. Will have to get more siding next summer to finish the job, but he has back, both ends and 2/3 of the front done. I looks pretty good. We closed off the door to my office that went outside. We didn't have any steps out there and never use it. We also had put in a new back door when we moved in so no use for this one. We are now working on getting the RV ready for our departure next month. Plan on leaving here around the 26th of Oct. Hope the weather holds out till after we leave.


Here is my dog, Keota, looking out the doorway before it was closed off.



We had a visit from my good friends I use to drive bus with, Sandra and her hubby Lloyd come out for a day. Was sure good to have them. We don't get too many visitors all the way out here in Stanwoood. Anyway, we went to Chinese in Tipton then back here and watched some Grand ole opry vidios they brought with them. Sandra and I worked on crocheting. She wanted me to teach her how to Cro-hook. We will be getting back together with them again before we leave.



As you will see buy the photos, we had some visitors in our front yard. First time we have seen them here, but the neighbor lady said they use to come all the time. They flocked to the trees in front yard, on their way South.








We had Direct TV installed in house on 3 TV's and will be taking them all 3 boxes with us. We have 3 TV's in our RV (front room, bedroom and belly) The guy that came to connect them was a real jerk and know it all, couldn't wait to have him leave. He even said he couldn't program the remote to work with our one tv as it was not listed, I checked after he as gone, and it was there so programed it myself. Anyway, it is done and now it is getting everything ready to hook up in RV, I also got some digital boxes to use when we are using attenna only, got them hooked up ok, and working good.
We are somewhat Hawkeye fans, and my daughter and her hubby (Sandra and Brian) are Iowa State (Cyclone) fans. My hubby made a bet with Brian for looser to take the winners out to the Texas Road House for dinner. Guess what, the HAWKEYE's won so we get dinner. Maybe next year Sandra and Brian.
I will try harder to post here more often for any of you that are reading this. Till then, safe travels........and.............Happy Trails.
