Update

Hi, just wanted to update on what has been happening. I finally got my new lap top and getting it all set up. Had to install all my programs and had a guy (Mike) transfer info from old lap top to this one. Guess he was able to hook up to hard drive in old one and do a transfer. I want to thank Mike for that. I still haven't figured out how to get some of the files into my programs yet, but I did get my Quickens to work, and that was the most important one. The rest I can play with later. Just hope I can figure them out, as I am going to hate to retype all that information back into My Family Tree and Cook'n programs.

I also have some photos to share with you. I have edited them using my new Picasa program and posted them in "My Web Albums" You can go there if you would like to view all my photos, but for now I will add a few here. You can go to the link at bottom of photo's and it will take you to the rest of the Web Album. Or you can click on photo to take you there.

We went to Emily (granddaughter) band performance on Oct. 4th in Cedar Rapids. She is in color guard. Sure enjoyed watching her, however the benches got hard. These old bodies just to take it like the young ones do. Emily did a great job, we only wish we could see her do her cheer leading. She does basketball and that is during winter when we are gone. Hope mom can send us some photos of that.

This next photo is from our day outing to Jenny and Doug's Cabin (daughter). They live in Muscatine and have a cabin on the Mississippi River. Doug loves to fish and they have us down every year for a fish fry. He also does the cooking, and fixes extra all coated and ready for us to freeze and take with us South. We sure are going to enjoy them this winter. It is always good to see the grand kids and enjoyed our time with all of them.

We are leaving on Sunday morning so are very busy getting everything done. As of this morning, looks like we are pretty well set. I keep list going all the time, one for TO DO'S , TO BUY, and many list for different rooms TO PACK. Roger has the yard all cut, and all the lawn ornament put way, as well as the deck furniture in garage. We have a guy coming to winterize the house (mobile home) on Saturday, so will be staying in RV Saturday night. Most of the things on list are last day things to get done and pack, today is go to Wal Mart day. We are really looking forward to getting to Texas again, it is getting COLD here. Just hope we don't hit any of that white stuff before we get out of here. I checked the weather on Internet yesterday, and it is 83 in Mission. The nights are warmer then our days here........................here we come.

To everyone else out there heading for the highways..............Happy Trails
