WAITING OUT THE WEATHER

We have decided to wait out the cold front and bad weather.  We will try and leave out the first part of next week.  With the bad road conditions we are better off sitting in our driveway.  For now we'll keep filling the propane bottles trying to keep everything from freezing.  We wish we were worried about tracking sand in instead of snow and ice.

Happy Thanksgiving

  We had a great Thanksgiving.  We went to Carl and Eileen's for dinner.  There was a great turnout.

Always plenty of food and laughs

We then made our way to the Plaza for the lighting ceremony.  It has become an annual event for our family.

Beautiful night with family

HOW MUCH WILL YOU GIVE ME FOR IT

 So far I believe what I have read in some of the RV posts.  Getting rid of your possessions is one of the hardest and most time consuming part of getting ready to go full time RV'ing.  We have sorted and gathered, carried and moved so many things you wonder where did we have all of it.  We had a beautiful day for our auction and the yard is picked up mainly from the folks looking for free deals.
  We are know sorting through what we kept to go into the RV.  We have most of the RV supplied but know are adding the things we can't live without from the house.  There's not enough room that's for sure. We are parked in our driveway going back and forth between the house and the RV.  We are feeling more like it is getting closer to time to hit the road since selling a lot of our worldly possessions.

RANDY'S RETIREMENT

Work had a reception for me.  The cake read "Happy Retirement Randy".  My wife was able to attend.  She had retired from the same company.  People came to see me but also come to see Joyce.

My son, Mike and daughter, Maranda were able to attend.  I was happy to have all 5 of my grandchildren make it. also

7/1/2016 Harrisonville All Star Rodeo

Went to the Harrisonville MO to watch the rodeo. We had family members roping in the slack that starts after the regular rodeo.  The rodeo started at 8:00 pm on Friday and we left at 3:25 am on Saturday morning.  We met Bullseye the Rodeo Clown aka Kirk Davis.  Joyce helped him by videoing one of his performances LIVE.  It went out to his Facebook page.  After the rodeo he went and cleaned up and sat and visited with us.  It was a beautiful evening.

Manny's in Kansas City, Missouri

We was looking for a Mexican restaurant and found Manny's in the Crossroad district.  Good amount of food and great taste.  The parking is the only problem.

Had to have some custard to finish off the evening.  This Twisters was on 135th and Antioch in Overland Park, KS
