[mom x4 grandma x4]

Thanks for the pixie dust Dawn.
randy si away with friends after the interview so he hasnt contacted us yet. Kids dont think mom and dad want to know how it went. Will let you know how it went when I find out.

It warmed up just enough about 4 p.m. that we gave the dogs a bath. Luckily we have an outside shower hose we can hook up to the hot water tank so it was a warm bath for them. First bath in a month. Boy do they smell better now!!

well off to do the dishes,
tomorrow morning I am going to see an old girlfriend for most of the day.

later,

Kathy

Kathy-
What's the campground like where you are at? Are you at a campground?
Hope the interview went well.
It's cold here today too. But the weekend is supposed to be beautiful.
Better get to work!

Hi Melanie,
I am at an RV Park which is kind of like a campground. but much more modern. They do have tent sites but have never seen a tent here, but lots of RV's.We have a gravel area to park in with a small grassy area on each side and a picnic table but too cold to sit at it.
we have hookups for electric, sewer,cable tv but only 8 channels. we are at the back of the park so it is nice and quiet.
They have nice restrooms and hot showers if you need them and a 24 hour laundry area.
Also the office has a few foods, but not much, Safeway is walking distance so no need to carry much there. Also a sitting room with lots of books to read, a computer and printer set up and a large table with jigsaw puzzles to do if you want.They have horseshoe pits and a community picnic area with a fish pond too.

Some would call that a campground but to me a campground is all wooded with picnic tables and fire pits and on the beach or up in the mountains, not the edge of town.

Itis nice as far as RV parks go though. we are paid through the end of the month, then hope to go to the coast for a few days to relax in a real campground , then back to an RV park. Not sure if it will be the same one or a different one at this point.
It depends on what happens with the job searches .

Suppose to be cold and rainy today but late tonight the hail, snow and rain are all coming for 48 hours Low tonight 35, high tomorrow 45.

Going to go visit a friend at the Mall in Salem today about a 20 minute drive from here. I am soooo excited to see her.
we have been friends since we were 6 years old.

back tonight,

Kathy

I'm just checking in quickyly too. Going out to vacuum out the van and a little outside work whatever I decide to do!

 

[dsparks]

I just GOTTA post this 15th post!

 

[dsparks]

So I can get the top AGAIN !

 

[mruhaak]

Dawn... you really need some competition with that whole "being on top" thing. I'm afraid I'm not it!!! Maybe we need to Greg or Jeff over here!

Kathy- that sounds very nice for what it is. I prefer my campgrounds scenic too! There is an "RV Park" located on the interstate south of here (heading towards Missouri) and there is always RV's there year round and I guess I always wondered who wanted to stay there. Because there are no trees at all and it's right next to the interstate!! Noisy!!

We hope to take ours out the 3rd weekend in May and then again the 1st weekend in June for Jackson's birthday. We usually go halfway towards where my family live and then they come for the day and we have a picnic and all the kid's have a great time. We do it in July for Alex's birthday too! Alex thinks that's the only way to have a birthday, not looking forward to when he start expecting to go to "Chucke Cheeses" or something like that!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while - saw Kathy's threat about the whip and I figure I'd better post something or else....

Kathy - loved the puppy pics! We have the same harness for one of our boxers and she hates it! Put it on her and her stub (sad excuse for a tail - I had no control over they come that way) points down - too funny! She looks like she's being punished! Poor thing we got it thinking it would be kinder than a regular collar so she could run with me. Turns out she hates running MORE than I do! So Jaime I'm with you in gaining lbs over the winter! Wish I could just press a button and make it all go away!

It was 80 here last week - but it's 50 now and rainy. Just planted grass and flowers - in need of serious pixie dust as I have no skills in that area!

Hope everyone is doing well - have a great rest of the weekend!

Hi Michelle!
I've gained 5 lbs. since returning from our cruise. I actually lost weight on our cruise!!! But put it on right away during christmas. I know it's not much, but I just can't seem to lose it! It's really irritating and my jeans are tight!! Hopefully now that spring is here that will help. I decided to have south beach diet bars for breakfast this week to see if that would help!

Kathy-
I'm just not used to seeing photos of you like that. That's just not right. I'm used to seeing photos of you on a cruise ship!!

Hi Dawn!

It was mid-70's here yesterday! Just beautiful. We went to a local nature area and took a hike with the boys. If I get a chance I'll post a couple of the photos later. Chris got a tick on his leg! I'm the lucky one that got to extract it.

Well... better get to work before I get caught goofing off.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Boys do not have school on Friday so Stephanie and I are going to have a garage sale. We have most everything around just got to go out and sweep out the garage!

Kathy, I have an excuse...my internet was down until a few minutes ago! I couldn't get to my nanas! I really do miss not getting on.

When does Oregon usually switch over to warm weather. I think that section of the country gets warmer later buts stays warmer later, doesn't it? My computer says it is 68 degrees and blue with some fluffy clouds. Suppose to be 75 today. I'm going to grab some lunch and head out to the lounge chair for a little bit.

Stephanie and I (with Elizabeth and Alexis's help) got most everything ready for the sale. I still have to gather somemore stuff out of the basement before Friday.

Hi Melanie! Are you still glad you made the move? Getting out of the politics was worth everything to me!

Hi Michelle! Tell us a little more about yourself and your family! What do you enjoy doing the most! Other than my grandchildren, I have to say traveling!

 

[dsparks]

Come on you guys, someone has to challenge me. This is number 15...
