Still Here

After a busy week for us it was good to hang around the motorhome yesterday.  I gave the motorhome a much needed wash job. It looks so clean and ready to hit the road again.  Of course we find find out about that when Nancy talks to the doctor tomorrow.  Her blood pressure is up somewhat so she has to get that under control. 
Nothing else is new with us.
Thanks for stopping by.

2 busy days

Thursday
                Thursday was our weekly shopping day with Jackie.  We first went to Walmart for some of the groceries. Then from there it was our break time when we go and have our dinner.  This time it was to the Ponderosa Steakhouse for their special price buffet. As always when we have a buffet we over eat.  Then it was our next stop at Krogers for more shopping.  Some folks can do all their shopping in one store but we can't.  I would rather buy my meats somewhere besides Walmart.  After the big day of shopping we just relaxed the rest of the evening.

Friday
          O'boy yesterday what a day.  I told you about Nancy's medication a couple of days ago and what a time we had trying to get it filled without any luck.  Well thursday I got a message on the phone that Walmart in Huntington had the medicine for Nancy ready for pickup. What???  It was the fax that the Walmart sent to the doctor's office in Florida,the one that the lady at the front desk said that Nancy would have to come in and see the doctor before they could get her a refill.  The doctor must have saw the fax later and told them to go ahead and fill the prescription.
So it was back to Huntington for another 200 mile round trip.  It was worth it though for Nancy to have her pain medication.  We met with Peach and Don also for dinner and another nice visit. 
Thanks for dropping in and reading the blog. 
I hope you have a great day.    

Empty the tank

Yesterday was the part of camping or living in a motorhome that is not so enjoyable.  That is having to empty the black. You get use to it though.
So after sitting for over another week it was time again to raise the jacks,take out all the blocks from under the motorhome and take off to the dump.

We arrived at the Twin Knobs Recreation Area some 15-20 minutes later.  Pulling up to the kiosk I told the lady I needed to use the dump station.  She told me it was $6.00. I gave her the money and she said have fun with a laugh. I said sure.  It didn't take long to empty and clean out the tank good.
We were back at Jackies and set up in a short time.
Thanks for dropping by this way and do come back again.
I wish you a great day.

What a day

Yesterday we went to Huntington,WV in hopes of getting Nancy's pain medicine that we couldn't get transfered into Kentucky.  Long story short,it didn't happen. I can't understand some of the personel that Docotrs have working in their office. Somehow traveling between states we have lost all the refills on Nancys pain medication. The simple thing to do is call the docotr to get a new prescription. The Walmart in Huntington called the docotr office in Port Richey,Florida to get the doctor to ok the medicine refill. But whoever answers the phone tells them that Nancy would have to come in to see the doctor.  Yeah sure we will just jump in the car and drive 900 plus miles to see the doctor and then drive right back to West Virginia. I think I will be having a little talk with the doctor when we get back to Florida. I'm no blaming the doctor,its his staff that doesn't let him know when a patient of his calls.
The day wasn't wasted though.  We meet Peach and Don for dinner and had a nice couple of hours with them.
I want to thank you so much for stopping by the blog.
I wish you a great day.

Laundromat

It was that time again yesterday.  Nancy loaded up several washers then I noticed that the coin light wasn't working on one of them,so I asked the lady at the desk if that one was out of order. She informed me it was indeed not working and Nancy had to unload it and fill another one.
After getting thru with the laundry it was time to eat,we went to the Ponderosa and had the buffet. It was $5.29 plus the drink for the senior price. The buffet had a little of everything. We took some wings and I had a hot wing or two and all the food tasted good. We made a good choice of the place to eat for the day.  After eating I stopped at the Kroger gas station for gas at the price with a Kroger card was $3.26 the cheapest price in town.
Then it was to Walmart for a few things. Have you ever noticed that a car doesn't want to pass a Walmart without stopping in?
It was another good full day for us.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day. 

Good day and evening

Yesterday was a long walk around the neighborhood to see the many houses,cabins on the hillside.

Outdoor fireplace sitting in one of the yards.

 No one will be using this bench.

Nice little flower garden in another yard.Yesterday evening we went to a gospel sing in Flemingsburg,Kentucky.

It was actually a dinner and singing in the park. They had hamburgers,hotdogs,potato salad.macaroni salad.baked beans. It was to help the Menifee boys basketball team to get a few things.

This is Isaiah's Cry which did some good singing.

And this is a Bluegrass gospel group that did a great job with their playing.
Some of the ladies had baked goods which were auctioned off as well as a few things from the towns business people.  It was a good evening in the park with the eating and singing and visiting with the people of the area.
Thanks for stopping by again or if you are a first timer,come back again.

Humming Birds

Thursday was a full day of going to Walmart for groceries,then it was time for a bite to eat. We went to China Star for their buffet and ate more than a bite. After eating and a bit of conversation it was off to Kroger for more groceries.  Jackie likes to get her meats from Kroger rather than Walmart and so do we. 

Yesterday it was more of hummer watching.

You can see this little one with its tongue sticking out getting the nectar off its beak.   I'm able to get within 3 feet of the humming birds as they are getting use to me being close. This one seems to be the young one of the bunch and the ruby throat doesn't attack it like it does the rest of them when it comes to the feeder.
It is very relaxing watching the humming birds feed and fight among themselves.


    
              

WOW

Yeah a big WOW. Thats what happens when you sit in one place and really have nothing to report.  The only thing we did get to Walmart to get our perscriptions filled for our medicine. How exciting is that?

I did buy a humming bird feeder. Before we went fulltiming in 2000 we always had a couple of the feeders hanging in the large tree in the front yard. Nancy would spend time setting in the swing on the front porch watching the humming birds feed and fight among themselves.
This is the first one since then. I hung the feeder on the arm of the side window awning where we could get a close look at the birds.

It didn't take long for the little humming birds to find the feeder.

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Have yourself a great day.

Hanging in here

Back to the laundromat yesterday.  Nancy could do her washing and drying with Jackies washer and dryer,but she says it would take all day.  Doing it at the laundromat in several machines it only take a couple of hours.
Nancy is still not feeling very well and I would like to thank all of you that is wishing her well.  She has another doctor appointment in two weeks.
So we won't be doing much of anything until she gets everything under control.
Hope everyone has a nice day and thanks for stopping by.

Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday we went to Morehead and as it is everyday we had a thunderstorm.  Nancy had a doctor appointment to see about a couple of things.  As it turns out we will have to stay here until she can get them under control.

When we started back to the motorhome we took the ridge road and as you can see the fog was starting to settle in.  We took the road because sometimes you can see some kind of wild life. We did see one wild turkey.
Thanks for stopping by.

Little things

We sure have been getting more than our share of rain here in the hills of Kentucky.  We usually have hard rain and sunshine all in one day.
Yesterday it was time to dump the black tank.  So we packed everthing in the go mode,let the jacks up and off to the dump down at the Twin Knobs Campground. After driving the 14 miles to the park and telling the attendent I needed to dump he says,"we are having trouble with the dump".  With all the rain water going into the tank it was full and he would have to check it out to see if it had gone down.  We were lucky it was good to dump again.
If we had the blue boy tote tank there is a place here at Jackies house to dump,but we do not so we have to do what we have to do.
We still have no idea how long we will be here as there are a couple of issues that need to be taken care of.
