Packing!

It's been pretty hectic around here the past couple of weeks!  We finally traded off the ol' Expedition on this 07' Jeep Liberty so that we would have something we could pull behind the motor home.



Saturday, Wayne and Lloyd took the front bumper off and put the brackets for towing on and she is ready to haul!
Now for the loading of the motor home!  Crap!  What to take!  Weather forcast for Jackson, WY is for highes in the upper 60s and lows in the upper 30s!  WooooooHooooo this is great for me!  BUT that means I have to have both cool cloths and warm clothes!

Just tip your head a little to the right . . . . there ya go - I was trying to show you all my crap without showing that the bed was not made - oh well.  Anyway, that's pretty much everything I own!  LOL

This here is Teddy's ride.  Isn't it cute!?  Shoot - he may not even let me put him in it. Hopefully once he sees that it means he gets to go with us, he will settle down and enjoy the ride.  That pile of stuff behind it is more stuff to go in the motor home!  Sheets, towels, at least 3 quilts!  Wayne is afraid he is going to freeze!  If it were up to me we wouldn't even bother with a heater - just blankets and quilts and kick the doors and windows open during the day! 

 I'm so excited!  Can you tell?

Working My Way Back

My husband and I have been planning a trip/vacation to Wyoming!  I'm so excited!  We have talked about wanting to go to all the National Parks for years now!  This country has so many wonderful things to see and do, we want to do and see it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It's finally going to happen!  We will be leaving Texas on 7/28/10 in the motor home, hopefully pulling our "new to us" 07' Jeep Liberty.  (That is, if he can get the parts he needs to put on the car in time to have them put on!)  The first night Wayne wants to stay in Amarillo and have supper at the Big Tex Steak House.  The second day will get us to Cheyenne or Laramie.  (This will depend on which route we take - I guess he will surprise me!  Not sure I like surprises.)  Friday afternoon we should be pulling into and setting up camp at the Snake River Park KOA just south of Jackson, WY.

Wayne and Nancy Hughes are going to fly into Salt Lake, UT and drive to Jackson, WY were we will be camping.  They have a cabin reserved.

Sunday we have reservations in Cody, Wy for the night, so we can tour some of the cool stuff there.

This is just a preview and something for me to get a grip on!  It's so unbelievable that we are really going!  I want to post every day as to what I have seen and experienced during our travels.  So check back often!  You can go vacationing with us!

Oh me! Ol' Kath has not been very creative lately! Actually I have been pretty busy - just havn't been talking about it! So sorry my Wacky sisters! You have inspired me to get to it! No promises here - just going to try!

Hang in there - I will be trying to get up to date!

Final Count - 12 Inches!

Well, the final count is 12 inches of snow from 5am to 4pm! Wheeeewww! I had forgotten what it was like! I'm glad I don't have to deal with it every day all season! Having to go to work would really stink!

Are you getting sick of looking at snow? Too bad - there's more coming!

Worst Snow Storm of the Season!!!!!!

We are expecting 10" of snow today!!!! My brother called this morning and said "Are you happy now!???!!!!" Well I am excited about the snow, but I do hate that many people have to make their way to work in this mess. Once it stops the main roads will be clear.


There is a paved road just beyond the pine tree in this picture.

This is looking off the side porch, the street is just beyond that pine tree.

My sister has been out to sweep off the porch twice since 6 this morning it is now 10:30 am and it needs it again.

She cleaned this off just minutes ago - it is covered again.

There is more to come Sunday and on and off all next week. I may be stuck here till spring.

Looky What I Did!

I was just looking at all the pictures that have collected on my camera and I realized I had not shown everyone some of the projects that have kept me off the computer lately.

I made Koozies for everyone I work with at the Post Office. For all the ladies I embroidered this little vintage blue bird and flowers on one side and

Monogrammed their initial on the other side.

They sure turned out pretty. I hope they like them.

The guys got one with something that they enjoy doing on it. Danny talks about playing golf, Johnny and his wife go camping, Henry is a preacher, Larry S. and Minwell like to deer hunt and Larry M. said something about Poker Night so I jumped on that for him.

I didn't get them in bags and labeled before leaving for Michigan, so they won't get them until I get back. Oh well, they didn't know they were getting anything from me anyway. I'm always a day late and a dollar short! Sigh!

There's No Place Like Home!!!!!!!

I have two! Michigan where I was born and raised and where my brothers, sister and all the kids live. Then there is Texas where I have spent the last 27 years of my life with my soul mate and many wonderful friends! Both are home to me, but being 1300 miles apart sure makes life rough!!! When leaving Texas Monday morning, I was very sad. I was already missing my dear husband and silly little dogs! But I was so looking forward to seeing the family! In a few weeks I will be missing Texas, my husband, dogs, and my Wackies and I will be ready to be home, but not wanting to leave everyone here! Oh the agony!



For now though, I'm going to enjoy everyone here and call Wayne every day to tell him what all we did and find out how Texas is surviving without me and be happy for all my wonderful Blessing!



I'll keep yawl posted on my goings on. Hugs - Kath
