Hard to believe that we have been here over two weeks. Getting to know our way around, which helps, as our GPS seems to be out of date for this area, even though just up dated it not too long ago. Have not done any touristy things, just got our golf going. There is a group that plays twice a week at 2 different courses that we have been playing with. And after golf on Thursdays there is a get together to award the winners prizes, which is also a snack attack party. Great! No dinner to worry about that night! Lots of card games going on, so Chuck is happy, he loves his games, and when he has some one to play with makes me happy too. Big craft sale today, and did find a few things that I could not live with out. But they were all really small so it will all fit in, no problem. Couple of mornings a week they have breakfast for a few dollars, and a potluck once a week. The park is only about half full, but they say after Thanksgiving it will start to fill up. Thanksgiving dinner is being catered by the owners of the park, which is nice, so we will be spending that holiday with a couple of hundred friends, so hope that no one is feeling sorry for us ALL ALONE. Been spending time in the pool, doing water excerises, trying to get limbered up, but it does not seem to be helping. Love these golden years.

We found our campground and got set up, which was fairly easy once we figured out the spot. New campground and the sites are not marked and they are very large. Plus with all the rain they had here you more or less had one shot at parking, any more would have churned the ground and there was the possibility of sinking. But we made it fine. Then it was off to the dealer. They were certainly some of the nicest people to do business with, and the price was by far the best that we had come across. Waiting for the extras (rails for the hitch) to come in and once we have them installed, we will be on the road again. Had planned to go to San Antonia and Austin but Ike has put a cabash on that. Probably just go to Dallas and hang out there for a month and then head south. They have one golf course here, country club, Chuck played it the other day. Said that it was a very good and interesting lay out. There is also a par three course here and I am going to give it a try, which will be my first golf outing since my accident. Trying to up load pictures, but the internet connection I have is so slow that it isn't letting me do that.

Texas, we have arrived!

We left Colorado Springs, Sunday, September 14th. Drive was an easy one, just a little over 300 miles. They have a FREE campground in Dumas, Texas, and it even has electricity, so it is something to keep in mind. Wish we could have found some place to stop for breakfast, so we could have left a little money there. Next day took it easy too, stopped and seen Odie & Joann for an hour or so. But we hit their town right in the middle of the day, so too early to stop, as Chuck was really wanting to get here. The new truck was waiting and he was anxious to say the least.

Got a lot to catch up on. Labor Day week end we spent at the cabin in Westcliff with our family. Our oldest grandson,Johnathan and his girlfriend, Robert, our youngest, and his wife, Kerstin, and their wonderful children, Roinn and Kylee. Of course, our daughter and her husband rounded out the party. Weather was not conducive to boating though, and the boat sort of had a toothache, as it didn't seem to want to run all that well. So we ate and played games, told lies, drank a little too much, and had a good time. Otherwise there is not too much going on. We have been to the movies, "Dillards", and I still can't believe that I did not buy a thing. Chuck made out like a bandit though. Course is was a 75% off, so it was a good day. We are getting ready to leave here, probably be on Friday. Waiting on some paperwork to come in. But that is about all there is.

State Fair

We went to Pueblo for the State Fair. Worked out great, not knowing where it was located, upon entering Pueblo, there were signs for parking and a shuttle service to the fair. Great! Free parking, free bus and even better this was dollar day, so entrance was almost free. Which was good, because after purchasing one (1) taco and one (1) lemonade, for a total of twelve (12) dollars, we knew the bargains were over. The fair was the fair, but they had a wonderful sand sculpture, which to me was worth it, at least the admission price. LOL

On the way back to Colorado Springs, we were going to stop at the Mountaindale campground to say good-by to some friends that are leaving the area soon. But the closer we got, the bigger the storm that was passing the area became, we decided that it would not be a good idea. Back at the our RV it had not even rained, but then that is Colorado. Today we are taking in a chili cook off, must not forget to take the anti-acids.

Here we are in the middle of August and I've been working on getting this blog off the ground for months. But evidently no all that hard!

We are spending the summer in Colorado Springs and there abouts. Weather is great, our daughter and her family are here, and the golf courses are plentiful. Life is good!

I have just about recovered from my fall that resulted in three broken ribs, at leasst to the part where I'm no longer in pain. Luckily there are several guys here that play golf, so Chuck has gotten to play quite a bit these past few weeks. Which is where he is again today.

Last night we enjoyed taking our oldest grandson and his intended out to dinner at the Macaroni Grill. Dinner was great, and it was nice to just spend time alone with him. Hard for us to believe that he is almost 27, time has certainly flown by.

Now that his blog has officially gotten started will do my best to add to it at least on a weekly basis, for those who would like to follow our journey of a trial version tracing the path of a lost moose. Just a few more weeks here and then we will be on the road again, and we are both getting itchy feet. So many places to see, so little time.

Going down hill at full speed!
