Deer Adventure

Butch and I enjoyed an adventure this evening. We were watching a movie when we noticed deer out front of the motorhome...and they were behaving strangely. I grabbed my camera and started filming a video. I will see if I can get it posted here. They were being fascinated with Leo's cats. Very fun to watch!!

A Kindle for PC

I have wanted a kindle for quite some time...but they are pricey. I decided to try it out by downloading the Kindle for PC. I still want a Kindle but thought perhaps Butch's little Netbook would be similar. And I still think it is. We read a bunch of books. The readers among you might like to try the Kindle for PC. It is free!!

Good Morning in May

We endured our annual doctor visit yesterday. We are both okay. The lifestyle must agree with us. I was most concerned about the diabetes numbers for me because I was not a good enough girl throughout the winter. I did get my walks in but too many cookies went down the chute. Anyway, the numbers were good. Even better than last year. The only thing we both need to work on is the weight issue.
Next week will be a busy one for me. I will be getting a chest x-ray, stress test and colonoscopy. All this will take place on Wednesday and Thursday. Will be good to get that done and over with.
We did get acquainted with Ethan yesterday while his mom went on a job interview. He was a good boy. 18 months is a fun age to watch. The world is so new to them. I took my camera and intended to get pictures but I was having so much fun with him I forgot. There will be another time. His Grandma and Grandpa Brooker have many pictures of him all over the house! What a cutie!

Time lapse

I was reading the archives of this blog yesterday and discovered that we were off in the calculation of how long we have been living this RV lifestyle. Butch and I retired in the fall of 2003 so we have been living in our RV for 7 years now. Unbelievable!!
 

Sandra Dallas Books

Sandra Dallas books were recommended to me last fall so I ordered some from Amazon.com. I order used ones usually because the price is better. Butch and I loved them! His favorite one was Buster Midnights Cafe. I find it difficult  to pick just one. I liked them all. The last one I read was Tallgrass. It was about the Japanese internment camp in Colorado.

My Inbox

When we are at Magnolia Park in Sunny South Texas I am often too busy for cleanup maintenance on my computer. I get behind on my email which I usually sort, keeping some things and discarding others. I started wading into it this morning and suddenly decided I was having no fun at all and deleted the whole works. My inbox is squeaky clean.

In Jefferson Iowa

We drove up from Missouri on Monday because Tuesday was to be a windy day. Well Monday was windy too. But today is worse so it was a wise decision. We had a surprise supper at the local Mexican restaurant arranged by Keri and Leo. Jason and Laura were there and it was a nice start to our short time in Iowa. Today we went to get our blood drawn in prep for our annual doctor visit set up for Thursday. I was not as good as I should have been over the winter so it may not be a fun time with the doctor. And now for the pictures I have taken...
Beautiful rainbow last evening and the pot of gold was on a hog confinement building. I will not pontificate on that fact. Lets just say only one entity has the pot of gold and most likely it is a corporation of non-Iowans.

Angel in morning light.

Keri made Butch a pecan pie with pecans purchased from Pecan Bill. Looks mighty tasty, don't you think?

The Jorgensen Place

Jo Ann has a "Tipsy Pot" flower display. I thought it was a clever
idea and one that would be easy to duplicate.

Tabby was seeking and receiving lots of attention from Butch

Dick did wonders with a "Beer Can Chicken". Absolutely scrumptious.

Dick and Jo Ann have a cozy little spot on Lake Thunderhead, Unionville MO.

They are thinking of coming to Sunny South Texas next winter after the one they just experienced here and in Iowa. We look forward to showing them the ins and outs of our winter spot. They are looking for a rental. Any ideas?
