Counting the days till time to leave.

Hi, yes we are getting ready to leave. I told you in last post that my lap top died, and I still don't have official word on that. Sent it to a guy to get checked out and see if he could retrieve data from my hard drive. I am sure it is the mother board that is the problem. It was really poor timing for me as getting ready to leave and not much time to see about getting it fixed and the warranty was up in September. Oh well, I broke down and ordered a new lap top from Best Buy. They didn't have any in their store that I wanted so did my shopping on line. Really seem to like that better anyway, you can compare prices as well as read reviews on all of them. Just checked on line and UPS site says it will be here today. I can hardly wait to get it. Will have some computer work to do to get it all back and running with my programs and everything.

This past weekend we went to see daughter Jenny and her family at their cabin on the Mississippi River at Muscatine. It was Jenny and Doug's 17th Anniversary so we baked a cake to take and they had a fish fry. Doug does alot of fishing and they sent quite a bit of fish home with us to freeze and take with us. Wish I had a larger freezer in motor home, but we will make room for it. Sure taste good during the winter, better then you can buy in store. Took some pictures, but going to wait to post them till I get them on new lap top. Don't have my photo program on this computer.

Now that the lap top is coming today, I will be able to go to Cedar Rapids with Roger tomorrow. He has an eye appointment and our dog Keota is to see the vet. I want to get a hair cut, see a few friends and do some shopping. Have to time all our trips together, have to keep the fuel cost down. LOL

I will try to get another post done before we leave, if everything goes smooth. Till later....................Happy Trails
