We're On Our Way

On Friday Ted pulled the RV to Rayford and parked next to Jay who came in on Wednesday. I filled up my Expedition with food and things and drove over. It amazes me that we can fill the truck and car twice each and find room for it in the RV.

We went to Pit Master BBQ for dinner when Jay and Stella arrived after work. Half way through the meal Ted broke his front tooth off his upper plate! After a lot of laughing about our heading to Arkansas, etc. we decided to drive home and get his old plate. It didn't fit real good anymore so we glued the tooth with Gorilla glue and for now it is working! I called Kara and got the phone number of our old dentist in Michigan who made the plate. That is where we are going to spend the most time and we thought perhaps it would be enough to get a new plate made. It's way past time to get a new one.

On Saturday Joanne drove their truck to Rayford so Ted could take the 5th wheel hitch out. Dwight had a stroke over a year ago and she has gotten rid of the trailer. She had no one to do this for her. Ted offered to go to Willis and do it but she was looking forward to a few hours out by herself.

John and Sherida (our TV guru) came for dinner Saturday night. Before we ate John got us all set up with our new digital boxes. He also did something to Jay's surround sound. Two wires were crossed. They stayed until after midnight and we were pooped by the time we got into bed.

We always attend churh at St. Simon and Jude when we are at Rayford. We went at 9 a.m. We decided to grill some burgers for lunch for all of us. I made some beans and fruit salad to go with it. Afterwards Jay and Stella started to pack up. Dee and Rick stopped by when they arrived home from San Antonio. They are living at Rayford now. After a shower and some TV I went to bed at 9:30 p.m.

Monday we received a call from Dr. Bushon's office. They normally need a month but are going to do a new plate in three weeks. Ted has four appts. while we are in Michigan. I left for home so Carol could pick me up for bunco. When we arrived we determined that there was one extra player because of a mixup in subs. I called Ted and told him he could come get me so we could get an earlier start. We got on the road around 11:30 and stopped in Texarkana, AR a little after 5:00. We filled up, had dinner, then went down the feeder road to a new campground. We'll be here one night and head for Memphis tomorrow.

It hit 94 today so I hope the weather cools off as we head north. It's only May!
