Tough Posting

Well folks here goes I'm trying again to post

We had a good site at Petersburg Campground,

We had beautiful sunsets and enjoy the four days we were there. 

But we did manage to get three more days across the lake at the Ridge road Campground.

I did see this deer walking across the road one day.

Then these two smaller ones came tagging alone behind her.

Monday we were in Mt Airy, at the Mayberry Campground.

We stayed there for two days on the Passport America price which is half off the regular rate.

We ate supper at a very good Restaurant.

It was The Copper Pot Restaurant and the food was so good as was the service as was the price.

We will surely be going back to this place.

Today we left the Mayberry Campground this morning and are here in the Stony Fork Campground which is near Wytheville, Virginia.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day  

Sorry Folks

I'm having trouble posting. When I try to post a picture I gt Html and no picture. Also no pasting between sentences. I will post when I cn get this figured out. Help me if you can.

Petersburg Campground

Saturday was the day to be on our way after visiting with my brother nick and his wife Joann. Nancy and I really want to thank you and Joann for treating us more than you rea]]lly have to. I just wish you wouldn't feed us so much, but I did enjoy all the food and desserts.

Warner Robins, Georgia

We did get away and made the trip safe to m brother nick and wife Joann. What can I say I have put on a few pounds as I usually do when we visit here. I think Joann doesn't think I really eat enough so she wants to fatten me up. Nancy made the trip ok but her body did take some beating. Yesterday she had a very bad headache and said she really didn't feel like any visiting so she stayed home. I have been running around with Nick as I always do when we visit here. I got in touch with Proggressive Insurance and the ball in in their court as far as what will be happening on the patio awning that got destroyed in the wind. A couple of gas station have the price of $169,9 for regular gas so I had the car filled up. We will be here a few more days before moving on north. Thanks for stoppin by and have a great day.

Getting ready

We are planning to finally head north again Monday after being here way too long. Of course I was wanting to make sure Nancy was able to travel and it seems like she is at this time. She is still not near at 100% and with the problems she has, she says she will never be 100%. YeI took scatter rugs and gave them a good shaking out. Then before I put them back in place the floors needed a good sweeping out, then doing the swiffer wet pad. With that out of the way it was time to go to the Barbershop to get a haircut. It took quite some time because there were four more ahead of me and the barber was taking his time on each one of them. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Things still happening

Well the lightning and thunder storms have finally let up on us.  Now we are in a heat wave.
The temperatures have been around 95 with this weekend going up to 96-97 degrees and will be feeling like 110.
Needless to say I have been staying inside as much as possible, but as you know that is hard to do.


Nancy is still slowly getting better and trying to do some things so she can strengthen her body back up.


We have stayed here so long that we have had to get our medications refilled and at time that is a hassle. 
Nancy spent half of yesterday on the phone between her doctor and Walgreens getting one of her prescriptions filled.


As expected in an old rv things wear out.  This time it is the thetford toilet that is not holding water.
This is usually not a problem, just have to replace the old seal with a new one but--------no one has a new seal in stock, not even Thetford.  That is until September, 14.
So I put a little cooking oil on the seal to expand it until I can get a new one.

We are still eating good so we are thankful for that.  Here is the breakfast that I call a rough omelet with egg, onion, and sausage with toast tomato and coffee.

Yesterday we had bbq ribs ready to eat from the Harvey's Market, Bushes BBQ Beans, french fries, corn, slaw and a diet ginger ale to drink.  Nancy, Sherry and I really did over eat on this one.


I hope all of you have a safe and enjoyable week end and thank you for stopping by.

More Thunderstorms

We are still getting thunderstorms each day so there for sure is no drought for this area.


Sherry and I put together a mighty good tasting beef stew yesterday and even had enough for todays supper.
Mixed everything in the Instant Pot which only took 67 minutes to cook with the beef being really tender.


I was want a butterscotch pie which for some reason the stores never have any. Not only here but in our travels. 
So I said I would just make one myself.  Well I kind of cheated a little bit with the ingredients.
I bought a graham cracker pie crust, some butterscotch pudding in the small snack packs to fill the crust. then whipped cream for the topping.
It didn't taste as good as the real thing but you know anything close if you can't find the real thing.

I thought it was good for a substitute for the real thing.

Nancy is getting better each day so that is good news. Her body was already weak and whatever happened really took everything right out of her.  One thing about her she never does give up.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Rough evening

Nancy is feeling about the same, her blood pressure is still yo-yoing but not going as high.
The new medicine is not agreeing with her but she has to take it to control her b/p.

The other day when I went to the store I brought some flowers back for her.  She did enjoy them, but it is going to take more then flowers to get her feeling well!

You can tell you're in the south when you see flowers every where you look.


After telling Justin I was staying a month we had to move to another site because we were in the overnight sites.

On this site this see what you see at the bottom of the steps when the door is opened.

We have noisy neighbors at this new site.

And when they invite their friends over, you would not believe the noise they make.

The other day there was a knock on the door and when I opened it there they were with a couple of their friend wanting to know if they could come in for a visit?

I told them No, my wife does not want any visitors.

So, she turns around to her friends and say's, "he said no".

The result of probably one of the largest thunder and lightning storms we have been in. At one point I thought we had been hit with lightning, but it was just close.
It was so close that I told Nancy and Sherry to be ready to leave if we smelled or saw any smoke in the motorhome.
There was a tornado warning also for our exact area but none did form.


Hopefully some good things will happen today.


Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

 

Staying here longer

Ok, first and most important is about Nancy.
She has been feeling very week since being home and the rest of the things that goes with an hospital, like why is it taking so long for me to feel any better, or I'm so week Its taking to long for me to get my  strength back and a few more things,  You know what I mean if you have spent a couple of days in the hospital,  Its just one of those things that happens to all of us.


With her feeling like she does I went ahead and took this site for a month so she would not be worrying about holding us up from our summer trip, and I would take much more time if need be.


Good news is she has been feeling a little better today and I told her she will feel much better in a couple of weeks.


Back to when Nancy was in the hospital and they would not allow visitors in the rooms.


Jeremy ask me if I wanted to go out to a Peach Orchard that had home made ice cream and some more things.  I said I would very much lie to go.

They had some old things hanging around.

Who doesn't like old cars.

and trucks

and car

Then we went out to the old swampy lake where some years back they filmed the movie "Gator" staring Burt Reynolds.

We have been to this lake several time but have not seen any gators.

That could be the reason the movie was shot at the location.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Sometimes things just don't go as planned

We did get away Tuesday and traveled along our usual route stopping at Live Oak, Florida to eat at Kens BBQ for supper.
Then after eating it was on to Valdosta, Georgia where we stopped at the Walmart to stay overnight.
Its only 12 miles to Cain's Riverside Park where we will be for the next couple of days.

Wait hold on did I say that?

Yeah that was the plan, but our plans have not been as planned so far.
Friday morning at 4:30 Nancy woke me up feeling bad and saying her arms were numb.
So I took her temperature which was ok,  Then I took her blood pressure which was 191/91.
I took it a couple more times and the last time an hour from the time she woke me up her blood pressure which had gone up to 212/107,  I told her I was going to call an ambulance which I did.
After the paramedics checked her they said she needed to go to the hospital to be checked out.
Anyway she was checked in the ER,  they said her blood pressure increasing it what caused her arms to tingle and the numb feeling. 
I stay with her in the ER while they gave her an iv, but her blood pressure increased to 228/117 before it started to coming down but was still up.
They told me they would have to keep her a couple of nights and have her blood pressure in range before she could be dismissed.
They took her to a room but I could not go because they are not allowing any visitors because of the COVID-19.

She did get to come home today but she is week and shaky.
I told her we will be setting still until she feels like traveling.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Been busy, sorry

First I want to say sorry about being slow on my posting.

Saturday I was busy doing the laundry, I had three load to do that took most of the day.
Of course I started out at 8:oo am doing that.

When the laundry was finish I went to two different stores to do some shopping plus made a stop at the Little Caesar's to pick us up a pepperoni pizza and an order of stuffed crazy bread.

Now here comes the crazy part of the week, hang on to your hats.

Monday:  We went down to the St Pete Airport to pick up Sherry who had flown in from West Virginia.
While setting and waiting for here 5:17 pm flight to come in  she called us at 5:00 that her plane had just landed.   We said that's good now we will be able to get home early.

But wait here it comes, some times things just does not go as planned.
Well a thunder and lightning storm had come up and they were not letting the passengers of the plane.  So this had the passengers staying on the plane (here it comes) for two hours before the storm was over.

 Well that part was over here comes the rest of the story.

After the hour to get back it felt good to be pulling in the rv park.
pulling in to the street where our site is located, I pulled up to back in our site I said Oh, No.

If you still have your hat on really hand on to it this time.

 

This is what I saw.  There was also a wind storm at our Park while we were gone.
Not a very pleasant thing to happen when you have planned to leave the next day.

So the next day I called my insurance on what to do got all the info on that.
The Park is going to take care of the junked awning.
And we left as planned.

We are now in Hahira visiting with our grandson and his family for a couple of days then will make a stop in Warner Robins, Georgia for a visit with my brother Nick and his family.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
