In what can only be called a burst of wisdom I decided the only way to post a new entry was to start writing one. It probably sounds simple to you and I guess that would describe me. When we left Aransas Pass, Texas the morning of March 25th we drove to the Wally World at Bellmead, Texas. Bellmead is a little north of Waco, Texas on I-35. We dry camped there overnight which included running the back bedroom furnace and some 12 volt lights. No problems. We are in the planning stages for doing a lot of dry camping on our way to Alaska this summer. The next morning, 3-26 we drove on up to the Lake Texoma Area. We stopped at the Eisenhower Campground on the Texas side of the lake. We spent Friday and Saturday nights there and left Sunday morning the 28th for Oklahoma City. We went to the Texoma Area to see my oldest son Thad. He came over to the campground Friday evening after he got off work and we talked about going out for supper Saturday night. He and Christa, hope I spelled that right, and her daughter Caitlin came by Saturday and we drove into Sherman, Texas to the Golden Corral. It’s hard to beat the Golden Corral for good food and plenty of it. Wish I had remembered to take a picture of them but of course I didn’t. When we left Sunday morning for Oklahoma City we went back south to Highway 82 and then west to I-35 North. This was a much better road but it also brought us back by the Winstar Casino at the Oklahoma line. We didn’t stay long and Twila was down but caught up just before we left. We drove up to the Flying J at exit 33 and had lunch and put a little diesel in the motor home. We got to the Rockwell RV Park about 4:30. I drove the Jeep over to the shop on Reno where we were scheduled to have the Allison Transmission on the motor home serviced the next morning. We got the Transmission serviced, $468, and pulled into our pad at Cushing by 2:30pm.
That’s where we’ve been since then. I went over to my brother Bill’s house a couple of days to help him install a cabinet with shelves in his motor home bathroom and also to install his tire pressure monitor on the motor home. Other than that we have had grandkids stay some on the weekends and we have gone to Perkins to see Twila’s daughter Terri and my Nephew Mike and their kids. I will try to post another entry after we go to our Good Sam Chapter Campout this weekend. We are planning on leaving for Lake Heyburn Wednesday morning. I have also been instructed by my Grandson Austin that I need to say something nice about him in my blog. He is going to be 16 on the 18th of April so we will be back from the campout that evening. He told me that if I didn’t say something nice he would tell everyone he knew three prostitutes that would say bad things about me. I told him I had lived a lot longer than him and everyone knew how nice I am and that I was shocked that he knew three prostitutes. He didn’t think that was nearly as funny as I did. All things considered, he is an exceptional kid. He will be a junior next year but could actually graduate by December of 2010. He is going to be going to OSU and taking college classes but still plans to graduate with his class in Yale, Oklahoma. I will have to get a picture of him for the blog. I still haven’t seen my other grandson Ben. He lives in Tulsa. Well I’m just rambling so I will quit for now.
