Happy Sunday everyone!!!
Jean,
I'm sorry I'm late, but I understand you just celebrated a 33rd anniversary!!! Happy Anniversary!!!!! And I'm not sure, but I think we are due for an Aurora picture update!!!!!!!
Catsmom,
So glad you made it safely and I hope things are going smoothly with the move. Any chance the movers can leave the POS behind???? Or loose him somewhere along the way????
Julyasmom,
Its a beautiful day here today!! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
Blondie,
Nice pictures. Cute ideas.
Had a couple interesting days here in Moab. Friday we went up to visit the Arches National park. While stopping at a couple of the points of interest we noticed big dark clouds rolling in and saw lightning in the distance. We were concerned that we would get caught in a downpour. Luckily it was scattered and we ended up at one of the arches after it had just received a downpour. But driving up the road to the Delicate Arch we discovered that there was a flooded river flowing over the roadway. We drove through it with the big truck no problems at all. But Friday night we had a major downpour all night long - hubby and I couldn't sleep through it because it makes so much noise in the trailer. Yesterday we learned that the park service had to close off that road because now it's a major river, waist high!!!! I guess we had good timing!!! Last night I went out to just take a little walk and ended up getting bit by a neighboring camper's dog!!! Ripped a hole through my blue jeans and broke skin, but luckily it didn't require emergency treatment. I'm not a fan of dogs to begin with and this just added to my dislike!!!!! Hubby talked to the owner and the dog is current on all his shots and we did file a report with animal control. Now I'm down one nice pair of blue jeans!!!! Stupid dog!!!!

Good morning, I went out dancing last night, then Zumba class this morning. Got the news that my youngest is coming for a visit next week. No news from Chrissy yet, she got the Mother's day card and package I sent her but I haven't got anything form her in the snail mail. She said it would be late but it has been a whole month. I am kinda disappointed.

Hi everyone, Blondie live the pictures, awesome ideas! Yes getting lots of hugs! Packers are here loading up the truck. We are staying in a hotel for a few days. Driving to Norfolk on Tuesday. They deliver the house to the new place on the 10th. And yes today is one of the hottest so far..LOL. Love being with Crystal, not the POS. He did nothing to get ready for the move! Spent all day and night washing cloths to pack. How can one POS have so many cloths...Not supprised.
