Our Adventures Continue...

We had a great time working on Ms Cassie's house in Brunswick. Here I am using a nail gun to secure the fence we were constructing.

Here we are back in Brunswick at the Exchange Club's Fair Grounds Parking for 7 Rigs for builders of two houses.

I am asking you to pray for my friend Eleanor. She is ill and in Gods hands... may He hold her and comfort her...and we pray!

Danville, Illinois to Indianapolis, Indiana, biking with the Fuller Center Bikers. Miles and Miles of either corn or soy beans. But HOT and hotter!

The guys just in from 111 miles of biking, hot and thirsty. They took showers, then we had a Wendys then back to Danville we went. Tony & I are now in Indianapolis, Indiana after the Fuller Center Bike Adventure went through town. Tony & son Mike biked from Danville, Illinois to Indianapolis 111 miles. This ride is to raise money to build houses for those in need. Fuller was founded by Millard Fuller who founded Habitat for Humanity. Millard passed away but his spirit and dream live on in Habitat and Fuller Center.My participation was driver and picture taker but son Mike took some pictures also. I drove Tony to Danville, then I drove back 90 miles. After the ride I drove Mike back to his car in Danville then 90 miles back, so that is what I mean by driving. Stay tuned.

We are finally back home in the small town of Allenton, Michigan, I can hear the corn growing. We are home to visit family and friends and get our shots...so that we can hit the road in August for more parts unknown. Had a great cruise in April, saw Mike and Sophia at her condo on Hilton Head Island before we got back to Americus to get our Rig. Last Saturday night we got together with old friends at our favorite Irish Pub O'Maras in Berkley and had a sing-a-long with our friend Ron Coden and the group. It was great seeing old friends again for a relaxing evening out. Thanks Jerry & Cathy for the fine dinner.

Visited Mike & Sophia on Hilton Head after the Cruise

Picture found in a gallery in Cartegena, Colombia that caught my eye...

Let me tell you this was a big ship.

Through the Locks The Bridge of the Americas Panama

We made local friends while we were in Huatulco.  It was such a great Cruise.

This is where I caught up with Tony after my adventure in San Diego

Big Ship, can't wait to board. My favorite thing isn't flying but I had a great flight from San Diego ... Of course after finding out i had forgotten my passport, the Adventure began...

Here we are in beautiful downtown Brunswick, Georgia meeting up with some of our RV Care-a-vanner friends. Larry & Mem Halstead and Larry & Tracy Saulsgiver dropped by to share happy hour with us.

We are now settled down at the Fairgrounds here and I'm loving this high speed internet access. Working on the RV Desk every day. Tony is working on the build site, they are building 3 houses here. Mary & Dave Vandeveld are doing an outstanding job making it all happen here. We have had a great year and next year promises to be even better. I will be looking for a replacement to take over the RV Care-a-vanner desk in 2011 so I can get back to retirement, but in the meantime I am having a great life! We are praying for all of our friends and loved one to be healthy and happy and live 'in the moment'. Hugs to all...

Yes, we left yesterday for the warmer, friendlier states (we were hoping) but it was not to be. Got on the ramp from 26 mile road in Washington, Michigan and all of a sudden I noticed that the tow vehicle, our Safari Minivan was kissing the back end of the RV. Hmm I said, that shouldn't happen, "Tony what's going on". Well it seems that one side of the hitch broke clean off. So there I was in freezing weather directing folks to not get on the ramp, to go around and get on the I-94 some other way. That lasted for 30 minutes or so until Tony got the Safari engaged and off we went. He stopped for gas in the truck and I trundled on to Camping world where, I am sure there was a brand new hitch in our future. So, it is 6am on Thursday and me with a bad cold can't sleep. My nightly duties were to get up ever hour and run the water so the pipes don't freeze. We just have to get out of town earlier. Thanks for listening...

Again I apologize for not keeping up my blog. Maybe now with my new Laptop and moving out of the 'dead zone' I will be able to keep up. Of course you know I am still running the Habitat for Humanity RV Care-a-vanners desk so I have little time for anything else. I am looking for a replacement so I can get on with retirement. Anyone interested. Anyway, today we are going to church with Norbert, Tony's brother and breakfast then we will travel down to Rosedale Park in Detroit for the Music Festival. It will be our 35th. Next Tuesday we plan to leave for warmer climate in Georgia for now, then Mississippi. Hope you all are having a great holiday season.

Had a great dinner at Jackie's and the family was there. We live there with electric from the barn and Jackie and Mel are so good to us. Thanks.

Well here we are in Washington DC to 'Restore Sanity' to this country. The trip was awesome, the leaves are multi colors of golden, greens and browns. What a nice ride down from Michigan. Tomorrow we go to the Mall and have coffe with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert and just soak it all in. I'll keep you posted.

  What a wonderful friendship. Great kids, great life in Indianapolis, and Jackson is a treasure...
