Day 37 - Trip to Coolidge

I am laughing because the pictures never go on in the order I want them too. I hope you enjoy them anyway.

The white plane is called the Guppy. NASA used it to pick up shuttle pieces that was to big to ship by truck. The only other way they could have taken it from California to Florida was via the Suez Canel and that was to expensive.

The bubble is located at the bottom of a B17 plane and the place a bombardier sat...all hunched up. I can't see anyone bigger than my 8 year old grandson fitting in there.

....Looks like it warmed up a bit in Minnesota & Iowa. I sure hope it continues.

We went to Coolidge today and met Ken and Marie, Mels half brother, for lunch. We had a good visit. On the way home we stopped at Verizon phone to get our phones to work without using a password. We so need one of our grandkids to get our phones to work. :-)

Molly got another bath. She sure gets dirty in all this sand and gravel.

I got a good start packing up stuff for our move tomorrow. Will finish in the morning. Plan to leave here by 11. check out time. Checking in to Hidden Beaches RV Park on Sat. morning. I hope we get a spot close to the river.

We have been concerned about Dad's hearing and called the nursing home to have them check his hearing aid batterys. they said they will check on it. Called later and again...they will check on it. A friend went to check on it and seen & told Mels uncle. He couldn't even find the hearing aid. Believe it or not Dad didn't even have it. It was in his shoe.......Go figure. Where was his shoe? I have no idea. Guess it wasn't on his foot. I wonder why the nursing home didn't make sure he had the hearing aid on in the first place. He can't hear a thing with out it.

Poor guy. No wonder he is unhappy when he couldn't hear anything. I think we will be spending a lot of time there when we get home just to see what is going on.

Not sure if I get a chance to write tomorrow night. I hope you miss me if I don't.

good night
