Catch Up--10-5-10

It's been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened. We arrived in the Mankato, MN area on 9-7 and we camped in Shady Oaks Campground inside the county fairgrounds in Garden City. The town was very small but the campground was quite and surrounded by trees-very nice. We were alone and then others came in and they all parked around us when there was all this room--don't know why. It didn't much matter because we were always gone. Bob's Mom's side of the family the Kresoya's were having a reunion. Just cousins except for one 94 yr. old uncle. Everyone congregated over at the home of Pat & Pete Hansen just a few minutes from us. Pat fed all of us the whole time thru the 12th and it was all good. She would hardly let anyone help her. We had brought 2 watermelons: We bought them while in Montana researching my grandfather but they had come up the day before from Nebraska from the farmer that grew them and boy were they good and sweet. We all ate on it the entire time we were there and she said she ate on it for another week after that. The other one went with us to IN. We had a great time visiting with his cousins. A few were missing but a good time was had by
all and I got everyone to write up a short geneaology and took pictures by family groupings and will pass it on to someone else to pass out to others who might want it along with the pictures.

We left on Sunday morning for DeKalb, IL to stop and see Karen Haas and her new baby. We parked in a WalMart lot and she came over where we were and we had a really nice visit. She is like another daughter because she and Christy were always together. It was so good to see them both. We left the next morning.

We arrived in Seymour the same day and parked in my cousin, Candy's driveway. We had a 50 amp hookup and was out of her way. Took our car to be serviced and cleaned and polished while we were going to be gone. Bob and I went our separate ways visiting with friends in town. The next morning Candy took us to the Indy airport to fly to Tampa to visit for a few days with Christy and her family. Couldn't get up to see our son so hopefully at Christmas time on the way to Tampa. We had a great time playing with our grandchildren and celebrating our son-in-laws birthday with his family. We flew back to Indy and my step-father picked us up at the airport because Candy was gone to Gatlinburg, TN for several days. We picked up our car and spent more time visiting with friends and getty my hair cut by my hometown beautician-Yea!!!!! Two different couples came out to the RV and spent time visiting with us and seeing our home on wheels. The weather was wonderful fall and it was so nice to be home. That will always be home for me no matter where else I may live.

We left Seymour on the 24th to drive to Campbellsville, KY to Heartland Campground on top of a hill across the road from Amazon.com where we are now working and hopefully will be until Dec. 23. They just finished the campground in Aug. so it is just flat gravel with elec., water and sewer and WiFi if you can get it. The laundry and shower area is very nice and clean and the people are real nice. The town is quite nice also.

Bob is working full time now which is M,T,Th,F from 5pm till 3:30 am which is the hours he wanted and I am working part-time days which is W,Th,F from 6am till 4:30 pm. We will be working until Dec. 23 if all goes well.

We went to Bowling Green last Sat. the 2nd to get a new head for our antenna. Somewhere we lost a one wing off the bat wing.It is now installed by Bob but it needs an additional hook up to be fully operational and that requires electrical and he doesn't do that. Then on Sun. we went to a local Christian Church which was real nice and the congregation was very friendly. Next weekend we go back to Seymour because my brother is in from Yuma and we will be buring my cousin Kenny who died out in AZ. and then near the end of the month we will also go back for one final eye Dr. app't. Things are "looking" good with my eye so I am in hopes I can stop putting in drops. That's pretty well put me up to date so I will close and hope to keep up better from now on.
