Bertha and Baby Blue

Great time being had by all here,Loveland Co.

Hi.   We are finally moved into our permanant spot here at Fireside RV.  We had been in a temp. spot . Someone cxld their reservation and we got to move into their spot.  Very nice park.  About 30-40 trailers, beautiful trees and pretty quiet.  We were staying under some cottonwood trees.  Nice and cool but we got sap on Bertha.  I didn't remember cottonwood trees weeping that bad. The cottonwood seeds are drifting and causing some sinus congestion.  Won't last long though.  We are getting a mobil-wash guy to wash Bertha today. I want to get the sap off before it gets too hard. Pretty reasonable price I must say. The weather has been very nice.  70-80 in the day and 40-50 at night with winds of 6-11 MPH.  Just right for sleeping and sitting out in the evening.  We bought one of those" Of " personal fan thingeys that clips on your belt they are advertising on tv these days to keep the mosquitoes away. It really worked and only cost $ 10. I was really surprised.  I am somewhat skeptical of those things. We have had a great time visiting with Bonnie and her family and visiting their church again. Having a good time visiting with fellow Gypsies that we met here last year who have returned for the summer. Well I must close for now as Billie is fixing brunch.  Will SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!

Loveland Co.

Well we are finally set up in Loveland Co.  Man!  It is cold here.  70-80s during the day and 50s at night.  Rain, Rain and more rain. I may have to break out the sweats.  We are getting settled in and will put up the pretties outside today.  We are going to Camping World today and buy me a directors chair for Fathers Day and one for Billie for Mothers Day.  Just can't get out of the folding canvas type anymore without a winch truck !!!!  Besides they have a little folding table made onto the chair to put your food and drinks on.  No more ants crawling all over your food and drinks outside.  Hope they have a RED one in stock. What color do I like??  Red, Red and more Red!!!!!!!!  We have to stock up on groceries also. We let the larder run down while we traveled to save weight. Thus saveing $$$ on the mpg.  Good to be back here where we camped last year. Many old friends are here again.  Well I guess I am all talked out for now.  Have to finish my coffee and get busy.SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!!

On the road again. Billie posting

We left Dodge City Wednesday morning right at 9 am cst. We stopped in Goodland, Ks to fill up with gas about 1:30, I went in the store to get a snack, Coming out I was distracted by something in the window, missed the step on the sidewalk and fell flat on my face. Hit my nose, mouth and left knee--- breaking my right front tooth, skinned my nose, and left knee. I don't know how it kept from breaking my glasses, but they are fine. My dignity is brused, however. I called our daughter, Bonnie, in Loveland and she was able to get me in to see her dentist Thursday afternoon. I'm hopeing he'll be able to just cap what's left of the tooth.  We will be around for 3 months if I need more than just one trip to see him.
We stoppped at 3:30 cst in Seibert to spend the night.  Found a leak in the water heater.  The whole 6 gallons had leaked out.  Uck!!!!  Called and got an appoint Friday morning at RV America in Johnstown--just south of Loveland. So we will spend the night at Johnsons Corner RV.
Thursday morning on the road again at 8am mst.  My dentist appoint is at 4 this afternoon.  I sure have a fat lip.  My knee and both wrists are OK not even sore.  The tooth hurts if I bump it.  Do you know how much you use your front teeth to talk and eat--even chewing on the sides.  The dentist had told Bonnie to have me take 600-800mg of ibprofin to help with pain.  I'm sure that's why the wrist and knee don't hurt. 
We stopped for gas at Limon.  I stayed IN the motor home.

Hey ! It's the weekend !

Well the weekend is here.  4 more days until we relocate to Loveland Co. for three mos. and hopefully a cooler climate.  Lots of heat , wind and fires here in Dodge City.  There was a good size fire just West of us yeaterday.  Good thing the wind had changed directions or We would have been chared!!  Crispy.  The Lord took care of us again.  I don't know what started it but I am glad they got it under controll.  Fire trucks were still over there last night putting out cinders.  We are going to Garden City tonight and have supper with Billie's sister, Idabeth, and her family.  Looking forward to a good visit. We just about have everything ready for our move.  Probably dump tomorrow or Mon., fill up with gas and perform final checks.  Well I will write later when we set set up in Colorado.

It's Friday

Well. Here it is again.  Friday.  Another week is gone.  I am older.  So what else is new ? Not much here.  I have been doing some repairs on the car tow dolly.  J'B Weld works wonders.  Hope it holds on the plastic fenders.  Some old cracks and splits needed repaired.  Will wait a few days and then touch up the gaps.  Billie is doing the laundry today.  It is about 100 F here with lots of wind.  Very dry.  We will leave on the 15 th. for Colorado.  Hopefully it will be cooler there for the summer.  Hope gasoline prices continue to fall.  About $1.00 gal. would be ok.  It is not worth that but I really doubt it will drop.  We are over the barrell, no pun intended, and a president and Senate with no guts.  Well someone voted them in .I didn't.

It's windy here !!!

It has been really windy here this last week.  Several days of tree bending wind.  The slide toppers on the Motorhome have really been poping.  We are enjoying the kids and visiting old friends at church.  Not much rain though.  We will leave on 15 June for Loveland Co. to get out of the summer heat. We will try to make some short car day trips while we are there.  Gasoline is eating up our budget.  As it is everyone else I am sure.  Does anyone out there Read this ? SEEYALATERALLIGATOR!!!! I feel so IGNORED !
