One LONG TRAIN

We left Indiana on Friday, and arrived in Georgia. Stayed till Monday AM, and then traveled to Myrtle Beach. At this time, we are all connected, motor home, bike, and truck. We are 64 feet running down the road, and we arrived safely. We have a campsite 5 spots from the beach, and we can even see the water from the coach. On Tuesday, we will have some work done on our coach, and then back to camp, and Ken will go play golf for 4 days. More later, and hopefully a picture of the train.

Finally Plated

WELL-Here we are again. Sorry for the long time between postings, BUT Melody has been real busy, and I am now learning how to post. We returned from Alabama in early April, visiting in-laws and grandkids. On April 14th, my Dr. found more tumors, and I had them removed the day after Easter. All went well, and after a couple days of nothing, I am back to normal(for Ken). We havn't sold the house yet, but have showed it a number of times. When God wants it to sell, it will. Both of our kids have gone through and taken firnature and stuff that they wanted, and some stuff has gone to a storage unit to keep. The balance will be sold at a big garage sale. We have LOTS of stuff in the Honu, and have found, we don't need all the stuff we had. We will be leaving on Wed. April 25th, for Greenwood IN., for some work to be done on the coach, and to see our grandkids. We will leave there on Sat. the 28th and drive to Georgia to see Mels folks. Then on Monday the 30th, we will head to Myrtle Beach, where I will conect with 15 other guys for 4 days of golf, and Melody will camp on the beach and relax. On Sunday May 6, we will take off for Orlando Fl, for 5 weeks of work with Wycliffe Associates. I will try to update this more often. By the way, try to guess our license plate.

Wending our Way Back Home

We left Alabama last Wednesday in a fog, literally and mentally. It was hard to say goodbye to the friends we have lived with for two months. Although RVICS is a good organization (please check them out if you are an RV'er and getting ready to retire) we probably won't be joining them for more projects in the near future.

We drove to the Atlanta area for a visit with my parents and sister's family. Got to visit with Marissa's new goldendoodle, CUTE! Her name is Snickers...get it? Snickerdoodle,:)!

We left GA on Friday and traveled to Renfro Valley KY. This is the third longest broadcasting of a music program. It started with "Barn Dance" radio program in 1939. We camped at the RV park there and went to a Classic Country music concert. Great fun and we plan on going back sometime when they are giving a gospel concert.

Saturday we finally got to see Caleb and Abby after two months away. Wow, how they have changed! Caleb is talking and speaks fairly plain. I never knew the words Grammy and Pappy would sound so good! He is at the age where he repeats EVERYTHING. Shelli and Big Caleb just roll their eyes when we say BELCH and BOOGER to him. He just says things over and over, as though he likes the way they roll off his tongue. Abby is laughing, rolling, thumb sucking and enjoying her food. My goodness, she is chubby and SOLID! and a delightful baby. Their parents are blessed to have two happy kids.

We have a few minor issues with the RV so will stop in Greenwood IN for repairs on Tuesday morning, then, if we get done quickly, we will drive to Chris and Em's for a quick meal and look at their new house. We will be spending Easter with them so won't stay long this time.

Ken has his next dr. visit Wed. morning. Then, depending on the results of the scope exam, we will make our plans for the next few months. Right now we think we will stay in IL until the end of April. We have yardwork, a sale (garage, estate sale or auction?), and most important, seeing our IL friends. Hopefully our house will sell soon and we know it will in God's time.

Pictures of the kids, next time.
