Been a busy week.

This past week was very busy seeing doctors while we are home. They are necessary to maintain good health and we are thankful for all of them. It is just really time consuming. Everything seems to be ok. Betty is getting new glasses. I am taking nome new meds for the ol shoulders and knees. I am getting a new CPAP machine with a humidifier and higher number.

It is starting all over this week. As I type, Betty is getting a couple of more out of the way. Getting the ol ears checked out.

We wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! If you are traveling, please drive safely!

We will be spending the day with family at Chip and Emily's home. They have a big day planned with our local family and visitors from up north (Emily's family).

Home for the Holidays

We camped with the Bluff City Sams Good Sam Chapter at Wall Doxy State Park near Holly Springs, MS this past weekend. They had their Thanksgiving Dinner on Saturday evening. It was wonderful as usual. Norma and the staff alway feed us very well. We had the unusal turkey and ham along with dressing, sweet potatos, green beans, salad with rolls, tea and various pies. It is always good to be able to camp with the Chapter we have been associated with since 1992.

Back at home on Sunday afternoon we began catching up on many of the task that have accumulated while we were away during Mom's illness, death and funeral along with the Tennessee Fall Samboree and returning to Florida to get Mom's condo ready to sell. It looks like it will be a while since the housing market is down the tubes in Florida. Know anyone interested in a condo in Winter Garden (near Orlando and Disney World)? Let us know!!

We are home now through the holidays. We will spent Thanksgiving day with the kids, Emily's family and their guest from Chicago. Betty's brother, Bill will be visiting with us again for the Christmas holdiays. We really look forward to spending time with our family and friends for the Holidays.

Come back soon for more!

Home for a few days......

We arrived home for a few days this afternoon, Monday 11/5. We had a wonderful time at the Louisiana Fall Samboree in Patterson. We ate too much good cajun food. There were too many good resturants available. Susie's Seafood, Rita Mae's, Harbor House and more. The bread pudding at Rita Mae's is to die for. Perhaps the best we ever had.

We had a great time visiting with all the Region 4 Directors. They were so gracious to us. Made us feel right at home. Including us in more activities that we could take advantage of during the week. The Good Sam family is awsome!

We will be home until Thursday when we go to Holly Springs, MS, Wall Doxy State Park, for the Bluff City Sams Thanksgiving campout. The ranger there always does a suburb job providing the catered Thanksgiving Dinner on Sadurday evening in the lodge banquet room.

Until later, Happy Camping!

Lousiana Samboree

We arrived in Patterson for the Lousiana Fall Samboree on Sunday 10/28/4:00 PM. We caravaned from the Mississippi Fall Samboree in Columbia. We traveled with Don and Helen Woodard, International Sambasadors, Rosemary Bates, International Sambassador and Linda and Harry Warren, Tennessee Youth Coordinators.

This is our first Lousiana Samboree. Everyone tells us that we will have loades of fun and we are expecting an exciting time. We are parked with the other visiting VIPs.

We experienced our first cagun food on Sunday evening at the golf course next to the convention center. Some of the LA staff joined us and we had an enjoyable time.

Today was a get aquainted day and time to get some laundry done and catch up on email and other task. We joined several for lunch at Ryans. This evening we played bingo and Betty and I both won. So we must have had fun. After bingo it was off to Sonic for our pre bed time ice cream.

When we returned, we got to spend some time with Don and Helen. They are a great couple and have the same love for the Good Sam family.

Come back for more later.
