FUN TIMES

Eddie (Doc) & Teresa are friends from Majestic Oaks and the years we spent RVing at Lake of the Ozarks. We all had fun times together with many of you who read this blog. Just want to thank them for taking time to come see us.

Brad & Joy will be by this evening and then we will begin preparations for hooking up tomorrow. We are planning to leave here about noon tomorrow. We hope you all have safe winter months until we are back in MO to see you next spring.

REUNION

We had a fun time this weekend when Dave & Sally Blasingim, from Greer's Ferry, AR stopped to see us here at Lake Village. Dave and Sally were on the Alaska trek with us this summer. We enjoyed their company and friendship throughout the Trip. They were headed to Iowa, Saturday and veered off their path somewhat just to come see us.

We had a campfire, shared some viddles and a late, into the evening "Happy Hour". It was great to relive experiences from the trip, share memories, & find out who they had heard from that we had not. Some of our trek group are organizing a reunion next summer at Branson. It will be interesting to see if it happens and a great location for us. Time will tell.

This is our last full week at Paris. It is beautiful today, more like spring than fall. However, the weekend will bring much cooler days, and nights into the 30's. We will pull out next Wednesday and stop at Brenda & Paul's for a few days. They have been great to let us have space to store clothes. We will leave some of our short sleeves in exchange for some more cool weather, sweaters & jackets. Won't be much because we had a lot of fall clothes for Alaska.

Thanks to everyone here who has been so kind to us. We do appreciate it.

Thanks again Dave & Sally. It was great fun.

Happy Trails, til we see you again!

CHANGE IN THE AIR

The leaves are falling, crops being harvested (what there is), the nights are cooling, and "Snowbirds" are moving south.

We had a great adventure to Alaska over the summer. Since returning, we have had great visits with family and friends, attended ball games, dinners, parties, and school events. Pic: Gma & Aiden at school Grandparents Day. It has been fun and we have had a good time with all of you.

We are ready now to join other snowbirds in the migration to the south. Our plan is to leave Paris in about two weeks and travel to Niangua, to visit Brenda & Paul. From there, we will make stops in Arkansas and Texas to visit friends we made this summer on the Alaska trip.

We will meet friends from last winter at Koyote Ranch, Medina, TX, where we will be at least two months and may decide to stay longer.

Here is hoping that the Missouri winter will be mild and much easier to endure than the 2012 summer.

We wish everyone a happy holiday season and good health. We will be anxious to see you in the spring of 2013.

Be safe!
