Hello,
After spending the delightful Easter weekend with the Marlin's, we are now set up at Carefree. The water is on, buildings are open and the sun is shining - how much better could it get ? Oh and I don't have to go to work !!. YEH !!!!!!!!!!!! We are anxious to connect with our friends and our families.

We've got some outside work to do - some leaves to get picked up and the gazebo needs to be set up. I'm excited to see some spring flowers -
I'll post some additional info on our whereabouts for the summer. I'm doing this so I can print these for my travel journal also.

Heading to Pleasureland in St Cloud this weekend for our WIT travel club's first outing of the season. Show and Tell. Lots of fun playing cards and seeing the new Winnebago rigs.

Saturday is Jill's 40th birthday party and we'll go over to join the party for awhile and then bring the boys back to Pleasureland with us and keep them overnight. The party will continue on without us. And I bet we'll feel better on Sunday - better than the party goers. !

We are finally back in Minnesota. Yah !!!!!!! It's 1:30 PM and we are in Maple Grove on 94 headed for Carefree Country Club to unhook the car and park the motor home. We'll go stay in town with Michelle and family and hope for continuing warm weather next week. Our first summer campout is April 16, 2009. Oh-so much fun!!
It will seem weird to be home and not go to work. The thought has crossed my mind that I wonder what I will do. If it's like the past couple of months I wonder how I ever had time to work!!!!
It will be fun to see all our family and friends again. And of course we have to take care of our taxes by the 15th. Al Rudolph called and they are done.
I'll continue my blogs as we go places and next will attempt to add some pictures. Not sure how to do that yet but will work on that.

We reached Winnebago Factory at Forest City Iowa about 1:00 PM Got checked in and are first in line for some service on our rig on Wednesday. We need our slide outs adjusted and they will pick our rig up at 7:00 AM so it'll be an early morning. Luna and I won't be able to sleep in. It was really sunny and nice today here. About 45 degrees. So we're hoping for the same. We got the Minneapolis TV stations tonite and Denis is watching the Twins. So tomorrow we'll be coachless and thank goodness they allow dogs in the waiting room. We packed a bag for a motel just in case they don't get finished on Wednesday. There are about 7 rigs out here with us. At least they provide electricity while you wait.

That's it for today. We are grateful for our safe trip here.

We got into Cameron, Missouri about 6 PM last nite. Stayed right off the freeway to get elec and dump so we could shower and cook dinner. Took Luna for a little walk and came back and watched the Twins get beat in their home opener. Back ont he road this AM at 7:30, fueled up and headed for Winnebago factory in Forest City, Iowa for a few maintenance items. Primarily getting a couple of slide adjustments. It's not nearly as windy today - but cold 25 degrees in Missouri yikes. It's going to be a cold Easter bunny if it doesn't warm up.

This dog is such a dufus - all of a sudden she won't leave my side and now has taken to laying on the dash of the motor home. She's up there now in the sun taking her AM nap. She was very nervous yesterday with the wind and the noises it created in the coach.

We left Ardmore, Oklahoma this morning at 8:30 AM. Lake Murray State Park, Elephant Rock campground had sewer, 50 amp electric and water for $19.00 a nite on the lakeshore no less. It was beautiful there. Turned cold on Sunday - with high winds. Same problem today. Heading to Winnebago Factory in Forest Lake, Iowa for some maintenance on 1 of our slides. Traveling with Mark and Sandi. Denis and Mark did some trouble shooting on our inverter yesterday and it seems to be working today. That is a good thing.
