Gosh I can't believe it is July 18th and I haven't blogged since May. I'll try and catch you up but so much has happened it will be more like a brief description. The house has sold and we have signed all papers so no backing out now not that we want to. We have had a few garage sales getting rid of everything. We have stored at Terry's brothers Jim Brainard our side by side and boat , Don Dennis's (a friend) we have our grandfathers clock, and Marshall Hulberts (a friend) we will have an inclosed 6x14 trailer with what we could not depart, Renee's husband Greg is coming from Fresno, Calif. tomorrow to pick up a few things that they could use . They are all life savers. We wish that Paul lived close enough to get a few things but he is to far away. We have the rest of what we could keep in the 2005 38 ft. Beaver motor home that we just received on Friday which very quickly became to small and the rest we sold in garage sales. We are looking forward to being out of the house which if every thing goes well it will be first of next week . We aren't quite sure what we will do but, we will stay in Oregon till we need to be at Renee's house on the 22nd of August. The new baby is due the 6th of august and Greg has business that will take him away for a week and Renee will need help with the three kids. I hope I made some since of things as I'm very tired and I'm not going to read through this blog tonight. Love and Prayers for all.

We have been in Pa. for about 2 weeks we have been very busy. We have gone to the Hershey chocolate factory, hershey park where there are about 13 different roller coaster rides and we did most of them,had 2 birthday parties with paul's family and the girls at the home(Eli's 5th and Kristin's well we won't say she might not like it),went to visit Dani in Carlisle Pa. where she is going to Dickinson College(she gave us a tour and loves her school), Paul gave us a tour of Washinton D.C. we had a great day it was very interesting and looking forward to going back to catch the things we missed because of time, and of course T. has found the Cabelas and Bass Pro. My sister Sandra has been very sick and in the hospital again but she has been transferred to a rehab home and is doing somewhat better, she can use a lot of prayers. We are in process of a possible sale on the house we are in the negotiations process now, so it is a maybe. We have the boys for the weekend as Paul and Kristin have a few days off and they headed for N.Y. for a much needed few days to themselves. They have a great job but it is very demanding and emotionally challenging for them. The boys like it there and have many girls to entertain them. They have grown but other than that they are still the same adorable boys we love. Well I think you are caught up for now we send our love and prayers for all.

We are now in Winchester Tn. Our niece laurie and her family live here and we are visiting until Sunday with them. We went to town last night to the dog wood festival, got to here some great music as there was a high school age battle of the bands going on,and we went to dinner at a nice bbq place. Tonight we are going back I guess Fog Hat is performing. It is nice here and we are enjoying getting to visit with Laurie and her family. From here we will be heading to Pa. Looking forward to seeing Paul Kristen and the boys. Hopefully we will have internet there. We are staying in an r.v. park about 10-15 minutes from Paul's home in the town of Harrisburg. Well as always love and prayers for all.

Today is my dad's birthday and if you read this I'm sending a Happy B.Day wish for you. We are camped at Dry Creek Water Park in Ms. and that is what they call their camping with water activities available. Right now we are about 8 miles away in Magee Ms. at a McDonalds. Thank you for free wifi. We have no t.v. and have rented many movies we are down to watching some really bad movies red box knows us well. It has been stormy, wet and humid here but i think that is behind us now for a while. On Friday we took a 500 mile drive. We went along the Natchez Trace Parkway East almost to Tupelo and then we went North to Memphis Tn. to a very well known rib place for b.q.ed ribs, well I think they were the worst I have had. All in all it was a nice day and coming home we got to see some outstanding lightning. It was the best entertainment of the day. After my eye appointment on Wed. the 5th I guess we are just going to go to Paul's. Paul just called and said that one of the places for camping near him was $51.00 a night so don't know where we will stay for sure or how long at those costs. Well I will keep you all in my prayers and love to everyone.

It has been a long time since my last post we have not had internet very often . I'll try to catch you up a bit. After leaving Mesa we went to Benson Az. with the Hulbert's and the McClouds for a few days. The gang all went to the Kartchner caves and had a great time, the guys all went a couple of times rabbit hunting but the rabbits were to fast for them so no luck but a good time had and I'm sure a lot of laughs. We all then head for Deming N.M. we had no plans there except for the guys hunting again and again no luck I think they need to get faster on the draw. We girls had a few good nights at the club house with card bingo, a party night of watching survivor, then last of all they had a get together night which was a party of all party's you may have missed through the year they had every table of a decoration of the various holidays of the year (real cute). They had a lot of good food and drinks. We had a lot of fun. We all departed company from there and headed different directions. We then headed to Arkansas to visit with our nephew James Wells and family. We visited a few days before heading off to Waynesboro Ms. to visit with our uncle T. J. and aunt Darlene Pitts. While here I had to go in and have a torn retina repaired they had to do a laser repair which was a piece of cake but the shot I had to have in my eye was not. We have done a bit of fishing, both of us caught our first catfish weighing about 7 pounds ea.. Terry has been doing a bit of shooting, got himself a a hugh turtle and cotton tail rabbit (they must be slower than the jack rabbits or he has gotten faster at the draw). Then he hit a copper head snake in the head with a stick. Brave guy

T. J. and Darlene left yesterday but we are going to be here a few days more as we have mail coming after it comes we will head off to a small town near Jackson Ms. as I have a final check up on the 5th of May. We do have plans to go down to New Orleans La. for a couple of days by car while we wait for my May 5th appt. as it is about 3 1/2 hours away we will leave the motor home and stay in a motel for a few days. After that we will be heading up to Paul's in Hershey Pa. via the lower route of the gulf coast into Florida and up from there. Well I think I've got you caught up for now. Love and prayers for all.

We arrived in Benson Az. early on the 31s. so we got settled and took off for Tombstone. It is a touristy town gunfights in the street and the whole western thing going on,the OK Corral gun fight was the big theme through out the town. On the way out of town had to visit boot hill graveyard where all that didn't survive the shoot out were buried. Thursday we went into Bisbee it was quit the town I think we were in a time warp back to the 1960's I would try to describe it but not sure I can every house was a different color and I don't mean earth tones I'm talking bright and no house had just one color the minimum was three. Well you got the picture it was colorful. On Friday the we went to the Kartchner Caverns. They were very beautiful as many of the caverns we have seen are. Afterwards we drove around found a ghost town to visit and wound up in tombstone for lunch. The park that we are in is a fun place to be. we have had an event every night we played card bingo first night very fun game, there was a survivor night on thursday , and last night they had a party of all parties every table had a different theme from halloween to St. Patrick's. We have had a nice stay here but today we are off to Deming NM. Well have a good day all will let you know how things are going as soon as I can get on line. Love and Prayers for all.

Well it is now the end of March and we will be moving on come the 31st. We will be heading to Benson, New Mexico. We will be doing a bit of sight seeing there then off to Deming N. M. from there not sure. There are to many choices to think that far ahead. Will let everyone know as I know. I am not ready to leave here as we have had so much fun and there is so much to do here never a dull moment. Next year we may stay till mid to end of April depending on the weather. We are busy( in between the fun ) getting ready to leave. Well I guess that I will close but hopefully I will be able to blog more our internet connection here is so bad. Maybe our connections will get better along the way. Love and prayers for all.

Well we just got back from my Uncle's home in Mexico at Rocky Point we had a great time are glad to be back home. Just before we left I purchased hiking boots and a back pack for hiking now I am looking forward to getting to put them to use. Hiking is on Tuesday morning which I missed this week so next week I will be ready to go. Biking is on Monday and Friday which I did make one trip with them before we left for Mexico. Marshall stubbed his toe before we left he went to the Dr. yesterday and he has a hairline fracture Terry was not going to let Marshall have a stubbed toe with out him having one also so when we were in Mexico he stubbed his toe on a step and now he can relate to Marshall's pain he thinks his is ok though and won't need to go to Dr. We are having so much fun all the time I only wish that everyone reading this blog could have this much fun every day. It is what we all work our entire lives to do, retire and have a blast.

Don and Betty Dennis are coming to visit arriving on Sunday. We are looking forward to seeing them. Well I think this darn internet connection is starting to fail so i best get going and hope this post love and prayers for all.
