Salina, KS

I cannot believe that it is 4/29 and it has been 9 days since I blogged last. Here is a very quick update on our happenings.

We went thru a tornado watch when we were in Cabella, FL - then Biloxi, MS - well we went thru our 3rd tornado watch in Guthrie, TX. I talked with my sister Robin yesterday morning, I told her that we were headed north into Kansas and she said do not go north go east or west. Well this AM we went north. We hit lots and lots of rain out of just before Wichita KS for about an hour and then it cleared up. We are now in Salina, KS and it is really quite nice. We arrived around 3pm, set up a few things went for a drive - this is quite an old town. Very impressive - about 40,000 population.

4/21 & 22 we stayed in Caddo Mills, TX visited with our friends Katherine & Nel Nelson. We met them in the summer of 2005 in Bayfield, CO and have kept in contact so stopped by to say hi. Nel was in rehab center due to a shoulder replacement. He is 82 years young and doing as well as he can for his age.

4/23 & 25 stayed in Grapevine RV Park in Grapevine, TX what a cute town the RV park sat on a lake. It was very cold and very windy. We then spent 4/26 & 27 in the Iovnelli's backyard. This is also a couple that we met in Bayfield, CO we spent hours and hours playing hand & foot while we were in CO so they could not wait to get things set up and start playing. Again, very cold windy & rainy. But we had a great time.

4/28 & 29 stayed at Pioneer RV Park in Guthrie, TX - 3rd tornado watch - Yikes!!!! I am so very thankful that we do not live in this area. I just do not see how you could live always fearing tornadoes. Oh well.

OK so today we are in Salina, KS. Tomorrow head to Hayes, KS (60 miles what a long day!!!!) to spend 2 days with friends Chuck & Bettye Etzel. They used to live in Carson City just up the street from us. They left Carson 2002 to live on a family farm.

So stay tuned. I have pics to download but am running out of time as Survivor is on in 6 minutes.

Hope you enjoy by blog as much as I enjoy writing.
