Spotty

Posts could be a bit spotty from now until we are in South Texas.

 Yesterday we were in northern Iowa for a visitation with friends and family of our friend Dale Cooklin. Dale and his wife Norma were very involved with many of the events we were a part of in Magnolia Park. One of our subgroup would go to the hall before each event to place our dinnerware so we could all sit together. So this was a hard loss to deal with and we will miss him at every turn.
Because of the close proximity, we were able to get a nice visit with sis Marlene and Bernard and their daughter-in-law Sara. Also very lucky to have Marlene's apple crisp served to us with a dollop of ice cream. Yum!
In the morning we will be headed for Missouri- Peculiar to be specific- and we will be spending the weekend with our Missouri kids. From there we will be going to Big Cabin OK for servicing of the motorhome and then on to Llano TX so Butch can play some more bad golf. To hear him tell he has not played well for a whole year. You cannot believe everything that man tells you. He just forgets the good ones and agonizes over the bad ones. And then we will be headed to the Rio Grande Valley for another winter of warm and wonderful..
The internet connections may not be sufficient until we get back in our winter spot. In the past we have had Verizon.  Even though it was not great at times it was okay enough to get posts done on the road. We no longer have that so now it is a crap shoot. There is Wifi at the Peculiar Park and at the Llano Park and it has been our experience in both places that it is spotty at best.
I have plans to write offline and then post when I can but the best laid plans can often go askew so stand by for further info...
 We have things here that need wrapped up so goodbye for now and we will see you on down the road.
