Well, our little Angel has settled in and settled down. Each night gets better and I think she is now as good as she is going to get. She has sniffed out and inspected every nook and cranny. And now on to us....If this weather ever settles out to something decent I need to get an exercise routine established. I feel like I have lost ground in that department. We have done some things around the house, window cleaning and such. I have hopes that tomorrow we may see the sun. That would be different...

Last fuel purchase for the Motorhome was in Atlantic Iowa at Wal-Mart on Saturday May 14th with a shopping card and we paid $2.04.9.

This was taken while Angel was still at her "Winter Home". She is now with us in Jefferson IA and not very happy about her situation. We put in quite a night with her crying and bouncing off the walls. I have disturbed her sleep several times today in hopes she will settle down tonight and sleep so we all can! She is really quite adaptable but it does take awhile. We are getting settled in and catching up on news and events in the old hometown...till next time.

We are sitting on our spot in Jefferson Iowa. The trip up here from Atlantic was one of the windiest trips we have ever made. Sure glad it was a short one! It is 71 miles from the Atlantic Wal-Mart to Jefferson Iowa for your info. We welcome company so hop on by anytime.

Well, these two cats have been to the doctors for our 'annuals' and it seems we are healthy so we are heading out this morning for Jefferson Iowa parking in the same spot we were last summer. We do plan to take side trips from there throughout the summer, like up to Marlene and Bernard Kelley's place in northern Iowa. Looking forward to seeing friends in the Jefferson area and getting our Angel back. She may not be so happy about it because I think she has enjoyed her stay in the Jason Brooker household. She adjusts very well to new situations and I am sure she will this time too. Bike trail, here I come!!!

We are staying at friends Merlin and Bev Meyers horse farm west of Lewis until Saturday when we will go to Jefferson Iowa for 3 months. Our address there will be 108 E Central lot #73, Jefferson Iowa 50129.

We are currently in Atlantic Iowa at Sunnyside Park campground. Not a bad little park to be in but this afternoon we are headed for Merlin and Bev Meyers farm west of Lewis and will be there till we are finished with our annual doctoring.
I have called Jefferson and we will be on the same spot we were last summer. 108 E. Central Lot # 73, Jefferson Iowa 50129. Probably for the months of May, June and July. We have "commitment issues" so I wouldn't set that in cement.

Recipe for Cleaning Clothes

1. Build a fire in the backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
2. Set Tubs so smoke won't blow in eyes if windy.
3. Shave one whole cake of lye soap in boiling water.
4. Sort clothes, make three piles: one pile whites, one pile colored
and one pile work britches and rags.
5. To make starch, stir flour in cool water till smooth, then thin down
with boiling water.
6. Take white things, rub dirty spots on washboard, scrub hard and then
boil. Rub colored, don't boil, just rinse and starch.
7. Take things out of kettle with broomstick handle, then rinse and
starch.
8. Hang old Rags on Fence.
9. Spread tea towels on grass.
10. Pour Rinse water in flower bed.
11. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.
12. Turn tubs upside down.
13. Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs, brew cup of
tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.

Hang this above your automatic washer and when things look bleak, read
it again and again.

For a short time we are in Cumberland IA parked behind the Community Bldg. We are boondocking so unsure how long we will be here. We are scoping out the possibilities to land for a week or so but have not decided where to set our feet as yet. We hope to see as many friends as possible while in the area.

Great site for anyone wanting to move to a different city. Like college grads etc.

We are headed north this morning. Plan to stop in Creston Iowa. This is the part that seems to bother some folks....we do not have a firm destination in mind. We will figure it out when we get there!

I finished this one awhile back and gave it to Susan. I am now on the next one. It will be most colorful!!! I have to admit that I have neglected my posting and photography since getting addicted to this Swedish weaving stuff!
