I know...I know.....it has been a LONG time since I last wrote my boring little thoughts, but.....(there is ALWAYS a "but") when I am in NE Missouri at the 1st Lady's mother's home, it is impossible to get on the internet and send my words flying out across cyberspace. Oh don't get me wrong,......internet does exist up there, but not that I have access to. Remember.........the nasty little confrontation I had last year with "Marian, the Librarian" there at the local library? I didn't want to ruin my weekend by having to confront her and her library rules again, so I just didn't even try.
Usually I drive in to Hannibal where I can slip into the Quality Inn Wifi while just sitting in the hotel parking lot......but(there I go again) this time I didn't even get to Hannibal. You know......as I sit here thinking....just what DID I do all weekend?
The house was full........ten people visiting there with her mother, their mother, their "Granny". Sooooo, much had to be done just to find places to sit and to converse. I always managed to get my sagging hulk out of bed before anyone else so I would not have to stand in line to get into one of the two showers in the house......and, it also allowed me to make the coffee......nice and strong the way I always drink it! Hahaha....interesting to see others there adding cream or hot water to their cups.....not many enjoy the deep, rich, bold flavor of a good cup of coffee!!
Many of the family spent time at the Mark Twain Lake doing some boating and swimming. The first day, Saturday, was enjoyed by everyone, but......Sunday when some of them went back down to the Lake, the battery in the boat decided to die.....and so they had to be towed by my nephew on his jet ski/wave runner back to the beach, and then to the boat landing to get the ailing craft out of the water and back to town. It all turned out ok......they didn't float away or down to the large dam.........just interrupted their pleasure of enjoying the Lake.
We left this morning and came through Washington to make a quick stop at the Moser Estate. Dr. Jeni, Ava, and Meghan are going to drive down to Florida two days behind me with TheHowserHouse later this week. The 1st Lady will go with them to assist with the girls....there will be three as Rachel is also making the trip to Florida for some sun and fun on the beach.
Soooo, we picked up some items to put into TheHowserHouse so they wouldn't be overburdened in the SUV on the trip down. However.....with all they gave to me to take on Wednesday, TheHowserHouse may be a bit loaded itself. Amazing what is necessary to take for three young girls just so they can enjoy the beach and water activities!!!!!
Arrived home just before a large rainstorm unleashed its fury on us. Luckily we had just moved all of the "stuff" out of the back of the truck so it didn't get wet!!! Then, I imagine the neighbors up here on Buford Heights thought I had lost my mind.......I stood out in the drizzle and with my LONG handled brush, I washed the RV!!! While it didn't get all of the black streaks off of the RV, I can finish that task tomorrow......I hope!!!
Soooo, I had better close this and get a few other items completed tonight. Tomorrow WILL be a busy day as I want to pull out of here by 8:30 or 9 on Wednesday morning. Plan to spend the afternoon and evening at Sam's Town RV Park......a casino at Tunica, Mississippi. I haven't been there.....sooooo, it is time to check it out!!!! Want to visit the other casinos that are there while I have the time.....will just take the shuttle around from one to the other!!
As I always say......
Life is Great.....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
