To the doctor

Yesterday Nancy and I had a doctors appointment.  The doctor was really concerned about her blood pressure being so high since she had no previous problems with it. He took her off of some of the medication that the doctor in Morehead,Kentucky had prescribed and gave her some new ones. He gave her one pill to take while we were still in the office.  He told her not to worry that he seemed so concerned about it.  He also gave her a cortizone shot in the region of her lower spine and told her he would check more on it after he had the blood pressure problem under control.
I had fluid drained off of my knee that had been swollen up for the last 3 months. I'm good to go for whenever,but he wants to see Nancy in a week.
So that is whats going on for two people that are getting older.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

Trimming

I don't know about the rest of the country,but I think this part of Florida does not have a drought problem. All of the lakes around here are way up to the top of the banks. With all the rain and the sunshine all the plants and trees have really been growing.
Yeah and with that I have been cutting and trimming in back of the house.  Only a couple of hours each morning because the temperature starts climbing and soon it is close to 90°. But like my neighbor says,I have plenty of time its going to be a long winter.
We did take time out to go to Walmart for groceries and to get our medicines refilled. Thats a day within its self.
Thanks for stopping by.
  
 
 

Doing things

Well folks I know my views will slow down since we are sitting still.  Theres not very much to report on two old folks living a normal life,whatever normal is.
We are still unloading the motorhome and trying to get things in place in the house. There are things that are being thrown away that we have not used in a while.  I'm slowly pulling up weeds around the place and I've got to do some tree triming whenever the time comes.  Nothing happens fast with us these days.
Nancy's blood pressure is still up,she has an appointment with our doctor friday. So maybe we can get to the cause of her trouble.
Thanks for stopping by.

Making Change

We had a goodnight at the Breezy Oaks Campground with full hookups and 50 amp electric where we could run both airconditioners.  We were ready to leave yesterday at 11:30am.

Leaving the campground we had a few to see us off.

Or maybe would love to get those horns into us.  You never know what they are thinking. With those tags in their ears I may see one of you on my plate in the future.

 

This on looks like a mixture of mule and burro.  He was watching us leave also.

 

We had a nice drive to our park. After arriving and checking out our park model to make sure we did not have any critters take up homesteading while we were gone,we started the process of moving from the motorhome into the house.  We spent some long hours walking back and forth carrying things.  It will take another day or two to complete the job.
Nancy and I both had leg cramps most of the night from the walking and climbing up and down the stairs of the motorhome.  Today will be more of the same.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Last road day

After a good nights sleep at the Walmart lot,we got ready and got on I-75 south again.

After 15-20 minutes we came to the Florida Welcome Center where I pulled in so I could empty our trash can with the two days of trash we had.
After that it was back down the interstate.

We ran into a cloud of love bugs that really made a mess of the windshield.
I got off of I-75 at exit 399 and took 441 south. did I ever tell you I like traveling on other roads over the interstate highways?

The route took us by the University of Florida where there were bikes and small motor scooters lining the streets.

One of a few drive in theatres in the USA. I can remember those evenings and nights at the drive in with the kids on top of the station wagon.

You don't get this kind of view from the interstate highways. Those trees with the hanging moss are breathtaking as you pass under them. So much more to see on the smaller roads.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Almost there

After a good nights rest in the Sams Club parking lot,we just was lazy for a while before getting ready.

We did get ready and went to Fazoli's to pick up six dinner to take over to Jeremy,Allison and the kids to eat. We had our dinner and a little more talking before coming back to the motorhome.

We changed from the Sam's Club lot to the Walmart parking lot which is just across the road. We thank the Walmart Corp. for allowing rvers to park overnight. These two are on I-75 exit 16 and are on the east side of I-75. After getting off at the exit drive to Norman drive and go north they are just off the street.
Today will be another travel day and almost getting back to our Florida park model. I stop at a Passport America park for the night to empty the holding tanks before getting to our park. I also like to get into our park earlier in the day to start unloading the motorhome.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Valdosta,Georgia

Yesterday was the day to say goodbye to Joan,Nick and the kids. 
So after filling the fresh water tank,unhooking the electric cord,then hooking the car we were on our way.  We stopped at Kroger to fill up the motorhome at 3.65 a gallon with the 3 cents off using our Kroger card.

We then turned south on I-75.  After traveling somewhere around 40 miles to a rest area to dump our tanks.

 We saw this nice restored 1963 Dodge Travco motorhome parked in the rest area. I sure would have liked to see the inside of it.

After getting into Valdosta we called our grandson Jeremy to see if they would like for us to bring over some burgers and fries. He said sure,so we stopped at a Wendys which had been voted the "Best Wendy's in the world."  This was out of a total of 6600 Wendy's.

Hannah our great granddaughter enjoyed the burger and fries,but enjoying seeing us just as much.

Andy our great grandson was glad to see us also.  Oh yeah,he enjoyed the burger and fries also.
We didn't stay to long because Jeremy is still recuperating from his bout with lung infection.  After getting back to the motorhome we walked aroud for a while in Sam's Club were we are parked for the night.
We had a good trip and a better time visiting with our family.
Thanks for stopping by.

Visiting

The last few days have been going to the stores with my brother Nick and watching him do the shopping.  I guess you would call him a professional shopper the way he uses sales and coupons on items.  Many times he gets groceries free just using the coupons.  We also went to Warner Robins Supply where I usually find things on sale that I may need. We didn't find anything on this trip.
We are mostly visiting and enjoying our time with Joan and Nick and eating way to much.
Our visit is being cut short because of Nancys need to get back to see her doctor to deal with  health issuses she has that came up this summer.

Thanks for stopping by.

Short Day

After a good night rest at the Walmart south of  Atlanta on I-75 exit 224. we were on the road again yesterday.  With around 75-80 miles to our next stop I took I-75 for this short distance. I stopped at the rest area just before getting on route 475 that by passes Macon we had a small lunch.  We also had a walk around the picnic area. Then I dumped the holding tanks.
We arrived at my brother Nick's where I unhooked the car and parked the motorhome in his yard. After a short time talking Joan had supper ready. We had ham,corn,beans,peas,mashed potatoes and rolls all of which tasted really good. The rest of the evening we talked and from time to time one of us would drift off for a short nap. A good day and evening for us.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Slow Day

We got away from the Quinn Springs Campground around 12:30 yesterday.  I filled the fresh water tank and emptied the grey water tank.
We took the same route as the day before going south.

I saw this sign and asked Nancy if she was wanting a late breakfast,which would be lunch for us.  She said she would because she hasn't had a "cat head biscuit" since she had one in the Ozark's around ten years ago.
We had a western omelette that was way to big for us to finish,with hash browns,gravy,coffe and the cat head biscuit.  It more than filled us up,it ran us over. The little diner was busy with all the local's.

Once back o the road we passed barns and old houses. The kind of things I enjoy seeing traveling the back roads.

And more barns that are close to the road. It was a long but enjoyable day.

Thanks for stopping by.

  

Going Somewhere

It isn't everyone that can take all day to drive 90 miles. But if you have the practice like we have its easy.

We got into the town of Etowah,Tennessee and had dinner at the Farmhouse Restaurant.

I know we would be staying near by so I searched the internet to see if the town had a restaurant that served country cookin.  So this was the one.  The food was good and so was the price.

I've been wanting to see what the Quinn Springs Campground in the Cherokee National Forest was like for sometime so yesterday was the day.

There are only 15 sites in the campground. No electric,two water spigots a bathhouse with flush toilets and hot showers. There were only two of the sites where my motorhome ould fit.

I took the trail up the hillside this morning while Nancy was getting ready.

I always like to get out in the hills whenever I get a chance. There is always things to see.

Wild flowers and the bees.

And more wild flowers.
I don't know where we will be at the end of this day.  I've got to decide because we are going to be leaving within the hour and I have not a clue in which direction.
Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.
