Oops!

OK, still learning the tricks of the trade. As you can see, I didn't realize I had to put in a title so half of my comments yesterday are in the left margin. What can I say? I'm definitely a work in progress!

Hi all! It appears I, too, will be blogging via T&C's Excellent Adventure. Of course, Mr. B said it all about last weekend. Our next adventure will be to Clinton Lake, minus yours truly as I will be heading to a wonderfully exciting event in NE.

Campout weekend

Went to 'Bo' Woods corps of engineers campground at Lake Shelbyville this weekend with our small group. Got there on friday afternoon and boy was it humid. After getting all set up and getting the bikes off the front of the camper I had to sit in the a/c for a little while to stop sweating. Then I had to change ALL my clothes because they were soaked. Williams, Selvaggios & us all arrived within a few minutes of each other and we all came a different direction. Bruce worked his regular shift and didnt get there until about 5:45. Then we all loaded up and went to Yoders Amish Kitchen in Arthur for supper. Good food on the buffet and several buggies tied to the rails at the end of the parking lot. Went back and had a campfire and watched the clouds roll in. Had one heck of a thunderstorm during the night. Saturday we just sat around until we all decided to go to the Dairy Queen in Shelbyville for lunch. Pat said that they saw it on their way to the campground and thought it was only about 8 miles away. 28 miles later we arrived at DQ. We postponed potluck that night until 7 (too much good food as usual) and then while we we setting around the campfire Bruce said that he heard on the news that the space station and shuttle would be passing over that night. After spotting several airplanes going over Bruce said 'there it is'. We are pretty sure we saw it. It looked like 2 stars close together moving really fast. There were some whispy clouds but we got a pretty good look at it. Today we had the usual hot dog lunch and then headed home.
This evening we went to see The Proposal and it was really good. Saw some previews of another Sandra Bullock movie coming out in March and it looked real funny too.

Ft Lauderdale

Here we all are enjoying Fathers day at Catfish Deweys restaurant. Micki found out about pg Kim when she gave Clay his 'father to be' days card. We spent most of the day at the beach. The next day we went to the beach and enjoyed the record high for the day. It also tied the all time record high for Ft.Lauderdale. A paltry 100 degrees, we've been hotter than than in Illinois. That pretty much sums up the vacation, played in the water every day but one. Ate lots of good seafood. I even had 3 fish tacos.

The Adventure begins

We sold our house in March and closed at the end of April. Then we moved into our 2005 Mobile Suites 5th wheel RV at the N.S.P.O.A. campground at Petersburg Illinois. We own 2 lots and have been trying to get them completed to our liking. For the month of May it pretty much just rained so we didnt get anything done. We started June with a little work on the second lot which is going to be our parking and large storage shed area.This included having our large tree in the middle of the 2 lots taken down because it was falling apart and half dead from the fire. It was removed while we were in Goshen Indiana for a week for our Suite Owners international rally. then the next weekend it was off to Prairie Pines campground in Rantoul Il for our monthly campout with our friends. So now we can start to work. Nope heading to Ft. Lauderdale Fl for a week with Clay & Kim & our future 2nd grandbaby. The pre blog future 1st grandbaby is coming from Scott & Val. So we are paitiently waiting for both!

In the beginning
