STORMS, FLOODS,AND MARY ANN’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION

We have been in areas where AT&T would not allow us to get on the internet without charging us roaming fees…We are wondering if we made a mistake in choosing their service when they cannot provide us with proper area coverage when needed…Enough about one of our choicest…We were in constant storms and rain for about three weeks…We were fortunate enough not to become victims in some of the tornadoes…While we were at Mary Ann’s high school reunion our motor home was camped in the City Park of Hay Springs, Nebraska…It rained constantly and the wheels of the motor home began to sink…We had to move twice to prevent some serious problems…The reunion was a wonderful experience for Mary Ann and I really enjoyed meeting some very solid people…The food was good and the entertainment was very enjoyable…After the reunion we had to go to Pender, Nebraska, where our car hitch is manufactured, to get it overhauled…Well after 11 years and over 100,000 miles the factory said we needed a new one…I now feel much safer with the new one…Our bank account is less so we look at the stock market daily to see if it is being replenished…We had to dodge flooded areas in eastern Nebraska, which made our trips longer and naturally increased our fuel bill…We spent Wednesday Night in Omaha and were treated to an excellent dinner at Cassios Italian Restaurant…Thursday we headed for my sister’s in Kansas City…We spent Friday with her and David…We went to the Olive Garden for lunch…We love Italian food…I guess you can tell????Saturday morning we headed for Carthage, Missouri and the Coach Light R V Park…We are sitting here under the air conditioner, staying cool and comfortable..By the way it is 98 degrees F, with about 98% humidity…As you see, I have no control over the weather…We will head for Branson tomorrow…If AT&T doesn’t mess us up with our internet we will write daily…Talk to you later…Philip          

Beautiful Day…Let’s have lunch at Estes Park

We woke up to a beautiful morning and wanted to experience it to its fullest…As I was getting out of the motor home, I was hit with the beauty of the snow capped mountains… 

We had to go by the Post Office and pick up our weekly mail…I needed fuel for the car…We went into town to get the mail and fill the tank…I don’t like going into the mountains without full tanks in our vehicles…After we got the mail we headed for Estes Park, which is only 26 miles from Longmont…The drive is a beautiful drive and the traffic was very light…We were able to drive at a more leisure pace…It was lunch time when we arrived and decided to go to one of our favorite restaurants…It has a view of a small lake with ducks and geese flying, swimming, and feeding…We like sitting by the window where we can observe the actives of the wild life…Mary Ann took some pictures of the ducks and geese with her I-phone…Here they are…     

These are the reasons we love to travel…Looking forward to tomorrow…Talk to you later…Philip
