Two months and a lot has happened

It's been over 2 months since my last post and quite a bit has happened.  Mike and Meredith Ryan spent a month here so we saw them several times.  They are HitchHiker friends.

We went to the new Sunliner Diner for their $5 hamburger night.  We haven't returned but always have $1 tacos Mondays at Cactus Cantina, Shrimp Basket Tuesdays and Sundays, Fridays at De Sotos or Papa Roccos with a large group plus spontaneous get togethers.  Judy and I still enjoy Krystals breakfast.



Here's a picture Jody sent, it's used for promotions at the hospital she works for.

We sold our beloved HitchHiker we have lived in for almost 12 years, it was purchased by a nice couple replacing their 1996 HitchHiker.  They will be using it as snowbirds at Gulf State Park.

BYE BYE HITCHHIKER!

Here she is below being set up on February 12th at the new owners site, we went over to help them their first time.

 Randy spent a week in the UP snowmobiling with friends and spreading his best friend's (Chris) ashes on the trails.

Here's Dustin in the back seat and one of Brianna.

Clayton and Pat came over for a couple days to checkout the new house.  We had movers move the two recliners, couch, small dining table and two chairs, and a small side table into the house February 11th so we moved in to.  There are no major items to finish but several smaller items on our punch list.  The biggie is the walk in shower.  Judy is not happy with the quality so it was agreed that The Grove will have Renato replace it later this spring.  He does GREAT work.  Clayton and Pat have their feet up allowing the robot sweeper that Randy gave us for Christmas do its thing.  Clayton brought us 3 chairs and an outdoor patio table he cleaned up and painted.  Thanks Clayton! 

 Maria celebrated her birthday, I believe it was number 15.

Here's Jody and Renato all spruced up for the Bully Ball charity for bull dogs.

Here's some of the entertainment we have at the new home.  Judy's sitting in our driveway watching a new house across the street being installed.

 How about the tomatoes on the plant we have beside the house. 

Jean.....here's the new house pictures you asked for.  We have also replaced our F350 dually diesel with a used 2018 Chrysler Pacifica minivan.

 

 

 

I started this blog in September of 2007, five months after we started our full time RV adventure.  Since then we had stayed in all 48 lower states and three or four of the Canadian maritime provinces.  Our, especially Judy, only regret is that we didn't go to Alaska.  So, after 11 years and 10 months traveling and living in our HitchHiker we have settled down in Foley, Al.  Future travel will be by minivan to MI to visit our son and Judy's sisters; to GA to see our daughter and her family; to NC to see our granddaughter and her husband; to FL to visit Judy's brother and gal pal.  There will be a few casino trips to Biloxi and elsewhere.  And so, this is the end of my blog.
