Branson MO

Well guess who arrived in Branson We arrived yesterday and are parked at the SKP park Turkey Creek. located in Hollister MO about 1 mile from Branson Landing. we have always liked it here sense our first time in 2007. Weather is warm and muggy as anyway in the south. We'll stay here a week maybe longer before heading east to NC to visit granddaughter. Were not sure when that will be more on that down the road I think we will stop in Paragould AR next to see Kathy's brother and sister in law then figure out when and what route we will take to NC. We will go see a few shows while here and in general just relax for a while. Hope all are enjoying your summer plans where ever you are. Safe travels.

leaving El Paso

After visiting our friends (Peggy & Carl)  in Deming for two days They are an elderly couple that we have known for years and were full time RVers for 20 years They are in a apartment for the elderly and each time we see them they get more feeble I fixed a few things while there like the brakes on his walker and a lamp its so hard to see them going down hill,but we all might be there someday. They have wonderful memories of the RV lifestyle. WE arrived in EL Paso to visit Grandson & family on Sat. had a good time for two days very proud to have watched him become a man over the pasted few years.We will leave Monday Morning and stop in Tucumcari  NM for the night and then on to OK city Tuesday Fort Smith Wed. Plan to be in Branson MO Thursday in time for Memorial day weekend. Probably will  stay ther a week or two. Well know a lot of you are on the move so have safe travels.

Still doing rehab

Its been a while sense I posted the knee rehab is getting better each day  still not fast enough for me but I never was blessed with patience all in all I'm doing good. will be here till middle of May.we have a good RV parking spot in the middle of town and the weather has been good. We got a call from the SKP park(Rovers Roost) in Casa Grande and were offered a lot we drove up there and decided to take it it had two sheds which we had removed already and will need new gravel before we can put it in the reatal pool. will take care of that soon we plan to put a new storage shed on it in the fall and move our stuff up there from Tucson Really don't know how much time we will stay there as we like to spend some time in Yuma also oh well we will see.Kathy will have surgery end of month and will need a couple weeks recoverey time before we head out for the summer.Our Grandson has returned from Guam and will see him soon and our granddaughter was back here for a few days it was good to see here and her boyfriend of six years. we will go see her this summer in NC. anyway hope all you folks are doing good and have safe travels.    

My knee surgery

Been a while since I posted . After setting up in a mid town RV parking spot the 1st of Feb we started the pre knee surgery scheduling . My surgery was on the 24th of Feb and it went very well ,except for the wuzzy patience that Kathy had to take care of.( I owe that special lady) believe me I can become a hand full when things are not going the way I THINK it should. To make a long story short I have been improving everyday and getting around great according to my therapist. This will be short so Kathy and I are doing well and on schedule to leave AZ in late April or early May. so until later Safe Travels.

Back in Tucson

Well folks we have made it back to Tucson. we had a safe trip to Arkansas and back thank the Lord for that. Kathy's brother Bill is doing OK he put on a few pounds and gained some strength while we were there it's sad to see him this way but all we can do is keep him in our prayers. The weather was cold while we were there down to 3-9 degrees at night and barely up to 30 in daytime but we survived OK. We stayed at our daughter's and son in laws Tuesday night and picked up our house (RV) Wednesday that was in temp storage and moved into our new parking spot for a few months never stayed here before but we like it so far. It was a tight getting in here but once in the spot have plenty of space. Will be here till probably end of April or first of May. My knee replacement surgery is schedule for 24th Feb and I will need time for rehab that's why we are in Tucson this winter instead of Yuma.The weather has been wonderful so far here and we really are liking the warmth and sunshine. I guess that brings us up to date hope all of you are doing great until next post have safe travels.  

Arkansas

Hi family & friends.   Kathy &I are in Arkansas to visit her brother Billy who has COPD and not doing well at all. Kathy wanted to see him now before it is too late and you can never tell. We put our home in temp storage in Tucson and drove the truck down here it is such a change to not have your home with you. Bill is doing ok for now but if he comes down with a virus or some infection  his body cannot fight it off. So we want to spend time with him while we can. This disease is very bad and will not get any better. We plan to return to Tucson by the 1st Feb but just wanted to let folks know what is going on with us.as we left on short notice so will post later when I can. Safe travels
