Day 31... Just another day.

Hello there, Glad you stopped in.

I have just been watching American Idol ... Now I remember why I don't watch the auditions. Wow ! Oh my goodness. Not good. I will start watching it in a couple weeks.

It didn't reach 70 today but it was close...67 I think. Nice and sunny. I see it is below zero already at home. uffda !

We stayed home all day. Didn't even go to the jam tonight. I got my flowers planted and cloths washed. Nothing much else to write about.

See you all tomorrow.

God Bless and hugs

Day 30...We got milk !!

Good evening my friends,

We started our little journey today with a lunch of Pot roast, salad, and pudding at the Senior Center in Quartzsite. Headed for Blythe CA. Such a pretty ride with lots of mountains around.

Yesterday we got a brother for Molly. ;-) He came with a little house but only a pinch of food. He is red and blue with long flowing tresses. Can you guess what it is? Your right... It is a Batta fish.
I need help to name him. Any ideas?

Our first stop was K Mart to get some fish food. From there we went to a flower shop. I got 3 pretty petunia baskets and some 6 pks of assorted plants for the rest of my pots. Now the fun of planting them tomorrow.

Albertsons grocery store was next. We didn't think we needed much but still had a cart full even got milk. Mel got some meat to make his jerky. He can do that while I plant flowers.

Sizzlers for supper. It has a huge salad bar. Soup, chicken wings, taco's, & ice cream goes with it. Needless to say we got filled up and it had to be better than the Green Chili offered at the clubhouse tonight.

Back to Quartzsite. The Roadrunner grocery store makes the best crab salad I have ever had so had to get some more. We still aren't done as we stopped at a produce tent in Brenda and got a few more things including a huge bunch of bananas for $1.00

Home again. Stopped to say hello to the Prigges and Ginny.

Molly had some supper and has been sleeping since. She had a long day in the car.

We got such a nice present in the mail today. A big bunch of pecans.
Thanks to our friends, The Wilsons who picked and shelled them all.
Thank you so much A & A.

Going to be in the 70's tomorrow. Sending some heat with this blog to help melt the ice.

God Bless and Good night hugs.

Day 29...Taco night

Welcome back,
I hope your day was a good one. I see another winter storm at home. Stay safe It was a jacket day here. Only in the 50's again. Beautiful bright moon over the mountains.

Another dance class this morning. Sure is fun. Just wish my legs thought the same.

For lunch we had some stuffed clam shells... To make it short, they weren't very good!!

We were out of milk so decided to go to Quartzsite. We ended up looking around and still hungry from not much of a lunch so we shared a subway sandwich. We looked and looked around but didn't buy anything but a knife sharpener. Got some shopping ideas for another day though. :-)

We planned supper with friends at a Taco supper and time got away from us. So with a half hour to get there we headed back toward home.... and guess what. We didn't get any milk !!
Taco's were so good though.

This evening is back to the Gospel Jam at Desert Gold . There was a full house tonight. Good music !!

We will get the milk tomorrow.

God Bless and Good night hugs

Day 28...windy and cool

Howdy,

How is icy Minnesota doing? It is cold and windy and cloudy here too. 51*. I haven't been out only to let Molly out. Mel did wash the car.

Our LP tank had a leak so had to have it filled again this morning. It was kind of chilly in here but not to bad. about 60 maybe. The bed sure felt good. LP came about 10. No... I wasn't in bed that long. I wish I had been.

I washed the bed sheets and vacuumed today. Mel couldn't make his company site work as he kept putting the wrong password in. The cap lock was on. So had to call the teck to get it straightened out.

We sure are busy aren't we?

I still have supper dishes to do so will send Good night hugs and God Bless

.

Day 27... I forgot

I forgot to tell you what we are going to do next Sat. I am kind of excited.
We are going to the Parker 425. It is a desert race. Any race lovers will have to look it up to see what its all about. There will also be a black powder show in the same area. We go to Bouse to see this.

I hope everyone is safe with the ice storm I am hearing about.

Good night

Day 27...Sunny Sunday

Hello my friends,

Just having a quiet Sunday afternoon. Almost supper time.

After church we joined some friends for lunch at Black Rock Cafe. It wasn't very good. I had a simple greesy fish sandwich. Mel had a mushy baked chicken buffet. So I hope I can make a better supper. Not sure what yet. I think Mel wants his other stuffed pepper.

The jam this afternoon was good. A lady who sat at the next table kept telling us to be quiet. Guess we were either talking or singing to loud !! :-(.

No plans for the evening. It is nice out though. 65 degrees and sunny.

Good night and God Bless. Sending hugs too.

Day 26... Its working !!

Hi everyone, Any snow yet?

I can't believe everything is working tonight. I even got all 58 messages from my Frontier emails. Hasn't worked for days. I have 3 bars of signal. This rain must have did some good.

It sure did rain. All night and most of today. Now the desert and mountains should really green up.

We went to the craft show at Brenda Park but I didn't buy anything. They had big hamburgers and root beer floats too. We did buy that. mmmm We drove around the park and seen some friends we met when we lived there.

We went and visited Molly's babysitter and made an appointment for Molly to stay with her when we go to the Phoenix Race in March.

The afternoon was pretty quiet. We read some papers, rested a bit, watched the rain.
I made stuffed peppers for supper. No, none for me but Mel liked them. I made some shrimp and sweet potato fries for me.

Church service tomorrow at Gods Little Church in The Desert. Jam at the clubhouse in the afternoon. No other plans.

I hope the ice storm don't happen for you.

Good night hugs and God's Blessings.

Day 25...rain rain rain

Hello,

I am just writing a short one tonight and hope it sends. I barely have signal and nothing works. Maybe it is the rain.

It has been raining off and on all day but tonight it coming down pretty good. I do love the sound of a soft rain.

This morning I went to the dance class again. I think I got the easier line dance working pretty good but the others I have a lot to work on. My legs give out faster than the music.

We went to the fish supper again. Mmmmm so good.

Not to try and get this sent.

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 24...Soup day

Hello

It was a cloudy night and day with a few short showers. About 62*

Mel's friend came over this morning. I did laundry after lunch. Then I made veggie beef noodle soup. We had that for supper. Was pretty good.

Molly got a bath so she is white again. She soon needs a haircut.

Brenda Gospel Jam tonight. It was pretty good. Even had a cello (how ever you spell it)
conchairto (how ever you spell that ). It was fun to listen to.
Dance class in the morning. Hope my legs hold out.

I just heard from my niece Toni who has quit smoking for 2 months now. Keep up the good work Toni.

I hope to write this blog in the afternoons from now on. It gets so late when I write at night after we have been out.

I think I will have a bowl of soup and go to bed.....

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 23...Elvis time

Hello my friends,

It was a cloudy day but warm. Must have been 70 again. So nice.

We went to Quartzsite for a few groceries. Mel is wanting some Beef veggie soup. My job for tomorrow. This town is so busy right now. Can't find a parking place ... Can't hardly even drive around. One big traffic jam. But we got what we needed.

It is soup supper night at the club house. I didn't care for the soup as it had to many nasty veggies in it. The broth was good and Mel liked it.

Tonight I got my Elvis fix. A young man gave a concert at the Brenda park. Michael Cullipher is his name. He was very good. Not as great as our Brad Boice but Michael was pretty good. It was a 2 1/2 hour concert and I loved it. He was only singing as Elvis for 2 years so he has a great future. He is only 22. He even sang Polk Salad Annie !!
I got a scarf and a kiss from him too. :-) I bought his Gospil CD.

Sending good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 22...It's Such a Pretty Day Today...

Look at the Sunshine !!

It was near 75* today.

You won't believe what I did this morning. I went to a dance class. I am going to learn how to line dance. I may never do it at a dance but I hope to say that I know how to do a couple of them.

This afternoon we just sat out on the deck. Mel took a nap and I read my book.

For supper we grilled bacon hamburgers. They weren't that great so doubt we will use bacon again. It was to much work grinding up the bacon anyway and it just made the burger greasy.

Tonight was the Gospel Jam at Desert Gold. So many of my favorites were sung tonight. There was 22 in the band.

I am so anxious for tomorrow night as ELVIS will be at Brenda Park. I doubt he will be as good as Brad so I hope I won't be to disappointed. I don't remember his name but will let you know tomorrow.

It must be bedtime. So will send good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 21...Day at home

Good evening,

It sounds so cold back home. Hard to imagine when we sit here with 70 degrees.

Even with the nice weather I still spent the afternoon fighting this computer again. But I got the job done finally. I just hope Landstar got all the info they needed.

Ginny made us some mincemeat bars. I don't really care for mincemeat but the bars were good.

I made spaghetti and meat balls for supper and had lots of dishes to do.

That's about it for today. Exciting, eh?

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 20... What a day..

Hi there everyone,

It was a busy day. I even had to get up early. Breakfast at the club house at 8:30. We had biscuits, gravy, and scrambled eggs. Home for a while and then church at the Little Church in the Desert. Pastor Rick is a great guy. Full of fun and Gods love.

Lunch at home with the left over cabbage rolls. Then off to the music jam at the club house. It was really good today. We enjoyed every song. There was a wonderful mandolin player and a lead guitarist. Plus about 22 other musicians and as many singers.

Home long enough to catch up with the dishes then off to Koffa for supper. The food wasn't as good as it usually is. But I didn't have to wash any more dishes.

Another music jam at Black Rock park. We left half way threw it. Just to tired I guess.

We didn't get the temps in the 70's that was forecasted but 65 wasn't bad.

So home again and the day almost over. I wonder what we will do tomorrow???

Good night hugs and God Bless

I forgot to tell you that the "Village People" were at the dance last night singing YMCA .... ha ha ! Sorry the picture is so bad. No flash on the phone.

Day 19... Dumb computer !!

Hello,

I had business things to do on the computer but the computer didn't want to do it.
I got so frustrated. I would go online and it would disconnect right away. After fighting with it for a couple of hours I called the tech. He had me upgrade my broadband. It helped for a while then disconnected again. I finally found what I needed and wanted to make a copy.
Well, the copy machine didn't work. I unplugged and re-plugged and did it again. Rebooted the computer I don't know how many times but nothing helped. I finally figured it out. The computer was still set on the type of printer I have at home. As soon as I changed to the one here it worked. I finally gave up and made supper.

I made cabbage rolls with cherry pie for desert. mmm it was pretty good.

After supper we went to the sock hop at the clubhouse. It was fun.

The broadband is working tonight so it better work again tomorrow so I can finish my job.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 18...Busy warm day

Greetings,

How are you all today? We are doing great. Still some coughing but other than that we feel good.

I never did see what the temp was today but must have been 70 to 75. Felt so good.

I must have been tired as I really slept in this morning. I thought Mel wanted to leave early but he didn't wake me. So it was nice. I hate to admit the time but it was about 9:45... can you believe it?

We had a bit of breakfast and headed out. We went to Quartzsite first and looked for a computer store. I needed ink for my printer. But it wasn't where we were told it would be.

We checked out an auction tent. They only had long isles of things for sale and no auction until Sunday. Was nothing there we couldn't get along without so we left. Last year we went there and Molly got totally scared of a little foot high hippo. We were thinking of buying one but with a $30 price tag it wasn't worth a joke for Molly.

By then it was lunch time so we went to the Senior Center. Guess what? They were having a craft show. No, I didn't buy anything. We ate our lunch and on we went to Parker. Still looking for printer ink.

Found an office supply store but oh the prices... $49 for black ink. They didn't have color. So I left without. Guess we have to go to Walmart. (I hate Walmart) Got the ink and a rug for the bathroom. After we left I got to thinking... I could have ordered it from Staples by mail.

Groceries next. We were told Safeway had lots of specials on Fridays. Well, we didn't see any... But we got what we needed and a few things we didn't need. Like peppers for stuffed peppers :-(, corned beef to go with our cabbage
:-( , Chicken wings for buffalo wings :-/ . Sure can tell Mel is shopping with me.

On the way home we stopped at a gun club to do some target practice. Sure I can hit the target. Did you doubt it? Molly wasn't to happy though as she was hiding down by the car peddles and wouldn't come out. She does hate loud bangs.

To finish our day we had the fish supper at Dos Amigo's. I do love their fish.

So maybe I can sleep in again tomorrow... :-)

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 17...crafts & Jams

Hello,

It was a nice day. About 65 degrees and warmer in the sun. Even warmer tomorrow. Yaaaa

We went to a craft show in Desert Gold Park. Didn't buy much but always fun looking. Seen some friends so talked more than shopped.

Then I just craved a Stevie burger so we went to the roadside place to have lunch.
They are so big but oh so good. We even ate outside.

Home again and did some cleaning. I have the deck organized finally.
Just missing flowers but not going to chance the weather and will wait a week or two more before I get any. I did set out the artificial plants.

Our friends from Grand Rapids, MN, Alice and Kermit, came over for a nice visit.

After our pork chop supper we went to the Gospel Jam in Brenda Park. It sure was good tonight. I was so surprised by one of the singers. She and her husband dressed in jeans and T-shirts, & played mandolins. When she started to sing she had a lovely high soprano voice. Just didn't fit for some reason but was a pretty song. Pepie, our Indian accordion player sang our favorite "Lets Go Down To The River". He sure can sing. He can't read music but he plays accordion and piano REALLY awesome. Can't get over the talent all these people have.

Must be bedtime. Another busy day tomorrow.

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Pictures are:
Pepie playing accordion
The nummy Stevie-burger
Me behind a big Saguaro cactus ;-/

Day 16...nice ride

Welcome back,

I hope you are all well.

The temps finally got over 60 today. It is suppose to be near 70 for the next 3 days and then over 70 next week. yippie !!

We went for a long ride today. Stopped at a couple of produce places and got some oranges, grapefruits, lemons, tomatoes, pineapple, & some sweet potatoes. I took some pictures of some metal work. I will try to put it on here. Can't remember just how to do it.

For supper we went to the Kofa restaurant for a spaghetti supper. It was pretty good. Ginny, Verona, & Cliff joined us.

Craft show tomorrow in Desert Gold park. I suppose I better go to that. :-)

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings

Pictures:
Mountain peaks just barely peaking threw the very low clouds...
Metal horse in front of a gift shop...
One of the many rows of produce at the road side tent.

I don't know why some of the pictures posted twice but oh well............

Day 15...Warm days coming.

Good evening my friends,

Feels so good to feel good. :-) I hope none of you ever get this old flu. Granddaughter Cilla is sick. This must be even harder with a little one in care. Get well Cilla.xx

Today wasn't anything special. I caught up with laundry. We had a steak supper. Mel peeled the potatoes and ate half of them raw so had to peel another. ha!!

Tonight we finally went to a Gospel Jam at Desert Gold. Wasn't many musicians there tonight. I hope they weren't sick. Only 15 on stage. Usually there is 25 to 30. Maybe Brad should have been there. :-)

It is suppose to start warming up tomorrow. In the 50's and 70 on Thursday. About time I would say. Maybe we can get our deck cleaned up and decorated. All our yard stuff is still in the house.

One of these days I will start with some pictures. I have a new camera but haven't used it much. So I will need to practice.

Take care, stay safe, stay well
hugs and Gods Blessings

Day 14... Windy cold

Hello my family and friends,

Another cold day here plus it was windy so it felt even colder. It did get to 40 today but didn't feel that warm. Not sure how cold it got last night. We left the water dripping in the sink so no frozen pipes. AZ news told of the many pipes frozen and lots of water damage. It has to warm up one of these days.

I am feeling so much better. Thank you all for all the get well wishes.
I think I will be going to the music jams now.

We went to Quartzsite today. Had lunch at the Senior Center. Beef stew, bun, desert. Even seconds all for only $3.00.

On to some shopping but neither of us found what we wanted. I have wanted a fleece jacket but they are always sold out before I get there. I thought I was early this year but no. Mel wanted a car wash mitt but couldn't find that either. So we got a few groceries and headed home again. It was just to cold to look around much.

Stopped in at Pregges for a few min. It was good to talk to someone.

I think it is ice cream time... I heard Mel going in the freezer. :-)


Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 13... Colder yet.

Hello my friends,

Yes, it got cold. We woke up to 21 degrees and frozen pipes. Mel tried to get it to work but no luck. But when the sun hit them in the afternoon it thawed out.
Sure was good to flush the toilet again... ha! At least no pipes broke.

Mel went to the music jam in our park this afternoon but I just stayed home and took a nap.

Our next door neighbor, Bev, isn't living here anymore. Bev is 83 years old. She lost her husband a couple of years ago. And now she has a "boyfriend". We are so happy for her. She now lives in Quartzsite. What a happy lady. She said she is so happy her wrinkles went away. She came over today to see us and invited us to meet them for supper tonight in Quartzsite. So we got to meet Frank. I guess she is going to sell her place here. I hope any new neighbors will be as nice as Bev.

We might go shopping in Quartzsite tomorrow. Will see how my cough is.

Stay warm everyone. It is suppose to freeze here again tonight and tomorrow night too. I hope it gets back to AZ temps soon.

Good night hugs and God Bless

Day 12...Just cold.

Hi there,

It did get cool last night. I woke up at 3 am and it was kind of chilly in here.
We had run out of LP. It was 27 degrees outside and 55 in here.

I dug out an electric heater and that got us threw the night. I don't really like it to warm at night anyway but Mel had to get another blanket. I called the office first thing in the morning and we had LP in no time. Mel was up early and took the tank from the grill and hooked that up while waiting for the office to open.

Our friends, Betty and Roger, came over for a visit. They knew we had been sick so we hadn't seen them yet. We had a good visit.

About all we did the rest of the day was eat noodle soup. We seemed to eat the dumplings first so had to make another batch for supper.

We missed out on a potluck supper at the clubhouse tonight but didn't want to cough in front of everyoone. I will probably stay away from the crowds for a couple more days.

We just enjoy our new TV and stay warm. Not much else going on.

Good night hugs & God Bless

Day 11... Hey! I left the house.

Hi there,

Didn't get very warm today but no wind so wasn't to bad. 50 maybe. But tonight it was 34 last time I looked.

We got hungry for chicken noodle soup so Mel went to town for a chicken. It wasn't done yet by supper time so we decided to go to the fish supper at Dos Amego's. First time I left the house all week. Seemed pretty good.

When we got back home I finished the soup in time for a bedtime snack. Tomorrow I will put some dumplings in and then it will really be good. Come on over.

We are still coughing a bit but getting so much better. As busy as the hospitals are I think I would be afraid to go. To many sick people there.. ;-)

I read in a paper today that the hospital closest to us is the 3ed worst in the nation. Boy, that sure is comforting.

I know a few of my friends have been sick so I hope your all feeling better too.


So good night hugs to all and God Bless

Day 10... Getting cold.

Hello there,

I see it is pretty warm in Minnesota. The weather man here was kind of funny today.
It seems that the AZ temps are going to drop for a few days. 50's in the day and below freezing at night. He said it is going to be like Minnesota weather. I don't think he has ever known Minnesota weather...haha

I been trying to get a few things done between coughing spells. I got half the curtains washed and ironed and rehung. We finally took the silver window covers down too.

But this cough is driving me crazy !!!

I hope all is well at home...

Good night hugs and Gods Blessings.

Day 9...Stayed home another day

It was a beautiful day. 70 wonderful sunny degrees. We didn't go anyplace but did go out on the deck a little bit.

I got all the cloths hung up finally. But seems we forgot one of Mels bags. Guess we will need to make a trip to KMart one of these days.

I made a meatloaf and fried potatoes for supper. Was pretty good stuff.

Maybe tomorrow we can get some of the outside stuff done. We are still kind of congested so we get out of breath pretty easy. But we are feeling better.
Just how long will this cold last anyway? We work a while and sit a while.

Sending Good night hugs and God's Blessings.

Day 8... lazy day

Hello my friends,

It has been a crazy day. I had to get up and get dressed as the plumber was coming at 9. I got dressed and went back to bed... :-) The plumber was right on time got the stool leak fixed. (a seal dried out over summer) Good not to have to mop up water. After he left I went back to bed. Mel hooked up the satellite radio so I just laid there and listened to Classic radio stories.

For lunch we just had some noodle soup...canned ;( I then turned on the computer but couldn't make anything work. I gave up and did a bit of unpacking. Then laid down again for a while and back to unpacking.

I did feel a little better as the day went on. Still coughing though. I even made a nice supper and did the dishes.

Now to figure out this computer. If I get one part working another part won't.
The broadband air card wouldn't connect and when it did it wouldn't stay... the wireless keyboard wouldn't work, the mouse wouldn't work. I think it just didn't like the kitchen table as when I got it all set up on the desk I got it all to work. Yaaaaa.

Mel set up the new TV. It is sooooo big. Well, for our little space it is big. I would love a 32" but the only spot to put it almost didn't work. Our friend Cliff came over and helped Mel get the wires hooked up. I still use the old little one in here by my computer.

We are going to have some melon and ice cream then back to bed.

I see the weather is pretty nice at home. It always gets warm when we leave.
It was sunny and 65 here.

Been thinking of the families and friends of the medical crew lost in the helicopter crash. May God be with you.

Good night God Bless

Day 7...We have food !

Good evening,

This morning was just a sleep in time. I had a bunch of phone calls to make while I coughed and coughed but got the job done. Got the dish hooked up but haven't set up the new TV yet. We might do that tomorrow.

Molly was tired too as she slept in too.

We went to Parker for groceries. Had some taco's for lunch. Got some new meds and headed home again. By the time I got the groceries put away I was wore out.

We are not leaving this place now for a long time. Just going to rest and maybe once in a while unpack some cloths.

It sure was nice out... about 65. cool tonight.

Not much info but hope to have something interesting to say in a few days.

Good night hugs...God Bless

Day 6...Brenda, AZ

Yes we made it...Yippie !!

We got here about 1 this afternoon. I was on the couch most of the afternoon.
Mel got the elec. & water hooked up & then took a nap. He also got the deck cleaned off and the furniture put out.

The car is still full but we just didn't feel like unpacking today.

Going to get some groceries tomorrow and maybe something for this cold. The flu seemed to go away but we are both now coughing and congested. I think we are just over tired.

So going to bed. Everyone stay well...

Hugs, God Bless.

Day 5....Casa Grande, AZ

At least we made it to AZ today. But still 180 miles to Brenda. We want to get
there in the day time so one more night in a motel.

As we went threw Las Cruces NM there had been a record snow fall the night before. People were taking pictures, walking in the snow, and there was tiny snowmen all over the place. I guess they had all of 2 inches !! LOL

It was a pretty trip today as we got to the mountains . At least my not having such a headache I was able to look around more.

Tomorrow we plan to pick up a few groceries and head for Brenda. Should be there shortly after lunch. Just want enough food for a couple of days so we don't have to go anyplace for a while.

We got sad news that our Pastor's mother passed away. She lives in England.
So Sorry Pastor Karen.

Good night and God Bless

Day 4... Roswell, NM

We are still fighting the flu bug so didn't get very far again today. We do feel some better but just not good enough.

I think we still have 700 miles to go so we probably won't get there tomorrow either.

We are in a realy nice Motel 6 in Roswell NM. Where the space Alians landed. (??)

Mel is already sleeping and I am heading that way. Good night

God Bless

Day 3.... Elk City OK

We got another few miles today but so hard to travel when not feeling well.
Mel is better but still coughing and tires fast. I cough too and had a really
bad headache for 2 days.

I guess it was about 40 degrees today. So will say good night. Going to bed.

Hugs to all and God Bless.

Day 2... We got a little ways...

Good evening,

We left the Des Moines motel at noon today. Mel was feeling a lot better by
then. But by 5 he wasn't feeling the best again. He isn't coughing as much so that helps.

We are in Emporia Kansas. The Motel 6 room is pretty nice for a change. We got a Subway sandwich and ate at the motel and then Mel went right to bed.

Now I am coughing too so I hope I don't get sick... NO, I refuse.

Seen a beautiful sunset but nothing else to exciting happened today..

Good night and God Bless

PS Thanks to everyones concern and checking up on us.

Day 1...Not a good start

Hi there everyone, Welcome back. Happy New Year!

We are trying to get to AZ. Packed and packed and finished yesterday in time to go out for a New years dinner.

We had a quiet relaxing evening at home but Mel started coughing. By 10 he went to bed but the cough wouldn't let him sleep well.

We planned to have breakfast with Trey and then head to Des Moines to have lunch with Terri and Bob. But when we woke up Mel just didn't feel well but decided to leave anyway. He coughed all the way to Des Moines and decided to get to a motel. He didn't want to give the cold to Terri and Bob.

We stopped at Burger King for a quick lunch. Mel only had a small burger and I had a Big Mac. Molly had a bite too.

We spotted a Motel 6 but couldn't find the entrance. After driving around a while we found it. Sure was a dumb way to get to the motel. I went to the office and got checked in. Our room was way to the back (of course). Parked car, grabbed our bags, purse, computer and up to the door.. Keys don't work. The maid didn't understand english.. "go office..go office" she kept saying. So we repacked us, Molly, and the bags back in the car and drove way around back to the office.

New keys and a different room later we are here. Mel is sound asleep. I haven't heard him cough. I hope a good sleep is what he needed.

Maybe we can have supper with the Speirs. :-)

Now if I can get my wireless keyboard to work........

Thanks for stopping in. I almost forgot how to use this blog.

God Bless
