Well, a month has gone by! Don & Zola arrived the end of December so we have been visiting with them. Ray & Barb got fed up with the cold and wet weather and are now in Mesa, AZ.....we don't blame them. We were also going to head west 1/28 when our rent was due if the weather didn't return to normal. Normal being high 50s or 60s daytime and 40s at night. Well, it did, so we will stay one more month and head west 2/28. We have met with felow HitchHiker owners as they passed through the area traveling from NY to TX and showed them the Gulf and alittle of the area. Things have been pretty routine with Judy leading a water aerobics class 3 times a week, we play euchre twice a week at the park and have played some at the American Legion and Gulf Shores Senior Center. I play poker twice a week, until last Friday I have been doing a good job of loosing. I do think our euchre, bingo & cribbage winnings are offsetting my losses. We have, of course, been going out to eat quite a bit and have spent time with Jody and Bruce, including his birthday. We did spend 2 days sprucing up their breezeway between the house & garage because Jody has accepted a position in Gulfport, MS starting this coming September after her residency at Univ of S. Alabama is completed and she has her MS medical license. She has signed a 3 year contract and she & Bruce are now working on preparing their Mobile home for sale and starting the search for another in Gulfport. We have invited my sister Bev to come down in February for a visit or travel with us west when we leave.
We have been doing several tasks on the truck & RV such as vacuuming the ceiling and cleaning the carpet and some minor upgrades in preparation of hitting the road. Judy is busy planning the years travel. We currently will attend several rallies and gatherings in AZ, TN, MI, IN, OK & TX. We plan on spending March through May in AZ, NV & UT before returning to AL for Jody's June 18 graduation. Then we'll head north to MI for the rest of summer before heading south after Labor Day.
Hey Clayton....are you heading west with us 2/28?
