Coming Home.

Upon completion of the rally we had to make our way back to GA our final job of the year was coming up and we needed to prepare for it. So the next few weeks will be spent here in GA working and visiting with family. Our next job will take us to Orlando in the beginning of Nov. We will be there for Thanksgiving and will return to GA in the beginning of Dec. Of course we will make time to visit our favorite mouse while in FL. It will be our final trip of the year.

School is going well and we are moving along nicely. Recently we took a break from book work and had a home economics lesson. The kids made some Halloween treats for all to enjoy. They have decided that they are too old to trick-or-treat and don't want to dress up. So we will spend a quiet evening at home watching scary movies and eating popcorn. They definitely don't need all the candy anyway.

We are all well and enjoying the lovely colors and cooler temperature that the fall brings. We have enjoyed seeing many animals out foraging for food and getting ready for the long, cold winter ahead. We are happy to see some relief at the gas pump and are eagerly anticipating Nov. 4th. So much could change. We hope it's for the better.

HDT Rally.

We left TX and made our way to Hutchinson, KS. We would be meeting up with fellow RVers all of whom drive HD (heavy duty) trucks like ours and pull 5th wheel RV's behind them. There were 32 rigs in all and we met some very nice people.

There were many social opportunities, classes and seminars, catered and pot luck dinners, evening entertainment, and door prizes. We had a really nice time and enjoyed meeting everyone for the first time.

The kids were the only ones there (as usual) and we had many nice compliments on their behavior (if they only knew, lol). On the last night prizes were given in various categories and they made a category for youngest rally attendees and the kids (as well as us) were given tickets to the Hutchinson Cosmosphere. We all really enjoyed it and of course turned into an educational experience.

Overall, we had a really nice time and look forward to making it an annual event.

Trinity, TX.

During our vacation we got a call from our friends in TX. Hurricane Ike had struck their area and we had called to see how they made out. We had been planning to go to TX after our vacation to help them with the construction of their new home, specifically, the installation of new kitchen cabinets. We wanted to see if this was still possible as their area had no power for about a week. They called to inform us that power would be back on in the camp ground by the time we arrived.

So, we made our way to Trinity and were happy to find all was well with our friends. They had a few set backs, but were mostly happy with the progress. It was a big change from the last time we had seen them and all they had was a bare lot. Now there was a home, landscaping, and they were nearing the finish line.

We spent a week enjoying their company and getting the cabinets done. It was nice catching up and just being together. I hope it is not another 2 years before we see them again.

Walt Disney World.

We enjoyed our week at WDW. It was nice to include Mom and Mike in our trip this time. They were seeing many things for the first time and I was happy to share my favorite magical place with them. We enjoyed long days in the parks, fine meals, and just being together.

The Year of a Million Dreams was magical to us as a dream was granted to us in the form of Dream Mouse Ears (see pic above). It was very HOT and humid the whole week which made it pretty uncomfortable, but FL weather can be very unpredictable. We enjoyed the A/C as much as possible.

Of course the end came too soon and our vacation was over. We said our goodbye's and hoped we would see each other again soon.

Catching up.

It's been a while since I've posted and we have done more stuff and been more places. We traveled through the early fall for vacation, visiting more friends, and catching up with other folks like ourselves who travel in and RV and drive a big rig truck.

We are currently in GA getting ready for our final job of the year which will be in the Orlando area, can you see where this is going ;)?

Check out the next several posts about what we have been up to.
