We had a really good month in Amarillo.  We spent most of our time with Billie's parents.  Mostly just hanging out with them.  Did do a few things for Mother that she wanted to get done.  Lydell spent some time takeing Daddy around--just getting out of the house.  We went to a WTAM football game. Got to spend some time with my sister that lives in Amarillo.   She and her husband are going on a cruise with us in February, so we did some planning for a couple of excursions.

From Amarillo we drove to Cisco, Tx. and spent a couple of days visiting friends in Breckenridge and Cisco.  It's always good to see "old" friends.  We drove from Cisco to Victoria today.  We are at the Lazy Longhorn RV Park again for the winter.  We like the park and the people here.  Just while we were setting up we saw 4 couples that were here last year and we know of a couple more that plan to be here before Christmas.  Like comeing home.  When I posted on Facebook that we are here, I had several people from our church here welcome us back.  We do love our church family here!

Time passes so quickly.  It's hard to keep up some times.

Dodge City,September 2012

Hi yall.  We are back in Dodge City visiting family and friends on our way through Amarillo back to Victoria for the Winter.  Had a great Summer in Loveland with a side trip to Custer S.D. to see all the sites.  We had some bathroom floor repairs done in Loveland and on the way here the LR slide popped the shear pin on the mechanism that moves the room in and out.  Hope to have it fixed here in DC.  We are anxious to get back to our church family in Victoria for the winter.  Not excited about the rise in living expenses there with all the oilfield drilling and tight living spots.  Food and other living expenses are rising rapidly with all the big money there.    Well.  Will close for now.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !

God is Good

Well we got back from SD in good shape.  Had a great time.  It is good to be retired.  I can get up and drink coffee in the morning.  We can go into town and eat at a restaurant in the evening every once in a while.  God has provided money to live in a nice motorhome and keep the maintenance up.  He has given us good health,even better than some.  We have 4 loving churches we consider our home and many good friends.  We can witness for The Lord as He brings opportunities to us.  We have met many, many good friends while traveling. Most of the people we meet are just like us. Most are fed up with obama and his government beauracy.  I pray we can have a change this fall in our leadership.  I know He is in charge.  I have a great wife and companion to share the road with.  Will until He calls me home.  Great kids and grandkids.  Not much more a man can ask for ! Just remember.  The best things in life are not things !!  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR.

Well.  We have finally arrived in Loveland , Co. and are set up for the summer.  It is getting harder to get things done.  Boy am I tired and sore.  Looks like arthritus strength tylenol tonight.  We have  had fun and will continue to visit old friends and see new things.  In about  two weeks we are driving to Custer SD. to seeall of the STUFF around there.  Will be sure to see Mt. Rushmore.  Am looking forward to that.Sure is a lot of smoke from the Ft. Collins fire.  I don't like forrest fires.  Well better close for now

Colorado bound

Well, our time here in Dodge Cityy is about over for the Summer.  We leave next Sat. for Ellsworth,Ks. to visit our son and his family.  We will be there for two days and then leave for Loveland, Co. for the summer.  We have planned a side trip to Custer, SD for this summer.  We will take the car.  Should be fun.  Have never seen Mt. Rushmmore  . We enjoy staying in Loveland with several friends who come back every summer.  Besides, it is a lot cooler than South Texas.  Well.  Better go for now.  Yall can follow us on our FB sites for current updates.  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!

Bluebonnet Trail and Adventure

Well today we have three weeks left in Victoria before we start the trip back to Colorado for the summer.  We went on a cross country trip looking for flowers and had quite an adventure.  Cross country, navigating like Billie's Dad does.  What an adventure.  We saw bukuu flowers and had a reward at the end.  Great meal at Bubba's in Sea Drift.  Ended up the day swimming and relaxing in the hot tub at the RV park.  You can follow our trip in our Facebook page.

New Year

Well.  The new year is here again.  Where did the last year go??  Went so fast.  Every year goes by faster !!!!  Or so it seems.  We had a great time being with family this last Christmas.  It was  pretty cold, though.  We both got sick.  Not used to the cold anymore.  Even had to buy coats,hats and gloves.  I am glad to be back in Victoria.  My daily wardrobe is shorts and tee shirt.  Beautiful winter weather.  Today we go to the retirement party for a good friend, John Legg.  I am happy for both of them.  Dottie, his wife, will be surprised having him home.  They will have a great time.  Billie and I have loved being retired and on the road, even if we don't have a lot of money.  We get by on what we have. Isn't that the way is has always been? John makes custom Golf putters and they both go on the road together selling them.  What fun.  We love meeting new friends at the RV parks where we stay.  Retirees in these parks are just like us.  Scarry thought, I know.  Well time to sign off for now.  Just remember, life is uncertain,eat dessert first. ;) ;)  SEEYALATERALLIGATOR !!!!!!!
