Wappapello lake (C.O.E.) park

Hi fans of David (homenomore) We arrived here (wappapello lake near Popular Bluff MO.) the15th and will stay till the 21st this is another great park with full hookups. Man has it been hot the A/C runs almost all day it's been hot for a while in this part of the south sure hoping for rain and cooler weather. Kathy's brother and sister-in law will arrive Thurstay and leave the 21st. We are planning a big fish fry Saturday with a few cousins coming over for the day from popular bluff ,should be fun hope the weather cools down by then. Kathy has her bird feeders out and has had a few hits she's a happy girl. Not much to add just hanging out. Thanks to all who called to see if we are OK after the terrible flood in little rock area but we were 1oo miles north of that. Safe travels.

Monk's RV park

We arrived back in Paragould AR.(Monk's RV park is my bother-in-law's home). there have been improvements made sense our last visit some weeks back.The drive way has 26 new tons of chat (gravel rock) and elect hook up has been upgraded to 50amp. have I ever told you he is my favorite brother-in-law. Anyway we are here for 8 days Kathy needs to have a medical test done(sonogram) every six months to keep an eye on a spot on one of her ovaries for growth that was found over a year ago, and we will visit family also. It has been hot and humid so the A/C runs a lot and no big storms so far. The gardens are growing an some fresh veggies are available daily. Until later,safe travels.

Weaver's Picken Parlor

We left Chanute Kansas and stopped overnight at Mountain Springs RV park (Passport Amercia) a nice little park between Willow Springs MO and Mountain View MO on Hwy 60 just off their driveway is a building that the local musicians meet at for a Friday night jam session so Kathy and I walked over after supper. They charged $3.00 each and provide seats there was about 30 -40 folks there not counting the musicians. Let me tell you those folks played the old music Kitty Wells, Hank Williams , Bob Wills . Flatt & Scrubs and old gospel it was such a treat. You just don't know what you will find traveling this great country. Safe travels.

Chunate Kansas

Well here we are in Chanute Kansas getting a repair on our home. This is where the NU-WA factory is located they build Hitchhiker 5th wheels. We have broken weld that needs repaired and they have to de-skin a area on the left side just forward of the bedroom slide and the repair and curring for the fiberglass takes 3 days so Kathy and I hanging out in a motel room for two nights. This is a nice little town and we always enjoy being here. There is a city park that has about 15 RV hook-ups with water and elect the great deal is the first two nights are free and then only ten dollars a night. We will tour the factory again probably Thursday. they have fallen on hard times at NU-WA but have down sized and are holding their own and build a great product with outstanding customer service.I've heard that Dorthy lived around here and that Toto became road kill but don't quote me on that. we will probably leave here Friday and go back to Paragould for a week.Kathy needs to do a few things around there, anyway until next blog safe travels to all.

Branson MO (Turkey Creek)

Well here we are back in Branson for a while. We arrived yesterday afternoon it rained on and off all day and most of the night and is raining as I write this. After I set up the satellite dish for NASCAR race last evening I put up Kathy's bird feeder pole and she promptly filled the feeders so this morning we are watching the birds coming and going and doing some chores or I should say Kathy is doing the chores (defrosting frig and has a load of clothes going) and as usual I'm trying to stay out of her way, supervising and ducking. We will be here till the 31st of May. Our friends Billy& Kay Foust from Tucson will arrive tomorrow. They have been living in their motor home for a few years waiting for Billy to retire (Dec 31 2009) and are on the road after many years of planning, they are finally living their dream and we are very happy for them and they are loving it. Next weekend our great friends Jack & Carol Van from Casa Grande will be here for the weekend We go back many years. They are on their way to Illinois & Wisconsin to visit family and are part time RVers (Who wants to be in AZ in the summer) and have been for years. I'm sure beer & Wine will be served frequently, along with a NASCAR race or two. Until later safe travels.

Paragould AR, Kathy's hometown

We are parked next to Kathy's brothers house with full hookups. Arrived the 28th April right before the storm front. The next two nights were filled with watching and listing to the storm warning. We survived with lots of rain and wind but no tornado's touched down near us. We now have sunny days yea! Been helping my brother in law move some stuff around here and in general just being a nuisance, got to pay for this great parking spot someway. Kathy is busy with seeing family and friends and she even lets me hang around with her sometimes. The farmers around here are trying to get their crops planted,hopefully the weather will hold up and give them the time they need.We will leave here around the 14th of April and head to Branson MO for a few weeks will stay in Turkey Creek ( Escapees park) there. Are planning to meet up with a few friends that will pass though this month. until later safe travels.
