Easter Dinner

Hank and I were so excited to get invited to Momma Ann's for Easter dinner. We were so tired of "Diet Food" for rabbits! We had a great dinner, then played with the dogs, Hanna and Hallie. It is the end of a great weekend and look forward towards next weekend with Katherine.

Dean comes home from China

After a year in China, Dean flew down from New York to visit with us over Easter weekend. Hank was very excited to see his brother. It had been a long time for both of them. We enjoyed looking at pictures of Hong Kong and China. Great to have some family around when your children are on different coast.

But I will see them very soon with Katherine next weekend and Rebecca over the summer.

Happy 2nd Anniversary

Amazing isn't it? We have been married 2 years and 1 year of that we have been living in a RV. WOW! God really has Blessed us.

Steven Curtis Chapman Concert tonight

It is amazing how time flies! We have been so busy with advisors, accountants, doctors, dentist, buying furniture, Church, etc...etc... tonight Hank and I decided just to go to the "In the Moment" concert and relax. I haven't seen him in concert before and am excited! Maybe I will be able to post a picture tomorrow. Later!

Miracle Theater

Saturday, we went with our Sunday School class to Pigeon Forge, there we attended The Miracle Theater. We started breakfast at Cracker Barrel at 8am. Cindy and Cliff, Linda and Roger, Judy and Roger, and Marcetta and Nelson. We drove up in the snow! We enjoyed the snowy day and the company. Had a really great time.

Sunday, we went to our Church, Ridgedale Baptist to do the Jerusalem Walk, a drama of the passion of Christ. Everyone did a great job.

Knoxville TN

We dropped our coach off at the service center in Knoxville to have some work done. In the past, bringing your coach in on Sunday night was almost like going to a big camping party. But the building you see, was empty, the drop off slot were empty... not sure if it was because of the economy or problems at BG. We missed friends like M. & D. O., J.& P. G, P. & G. C....
Well, they needed the coach for a week and we saw no reason to keep hanging around, so we gathered the pups and headed south.
As you can tell, our life is so very exciting lately.

My Mom's big BD

It was so nice to be around family again. It has a long 10 months without family gatherings for us. To be with all my sisters, Becky, Suzanne, Mary, my brother, David and especially my Mom.

Most of the grandchildren and great grandchildren were there for a big celebration.
Mom received Lorretta-the frog!! Somehow she got put away in a storage shed. Poor Lorretta!

Katherine almost didn't make it when they cancelled her flight. But she hung in there and got a late flight, but she made it.

We celebrated a wonderful BD and David made us all a CD with Photos we all collected over the years of Mom and Dad. We had pictures of her as a little girl too! Very Cute.

Well Happy Birthday Mom....we will be there for you 100th too!

On the road to Recovery

After being sick since Jan. 13, Hank and I finally are starting to feel better. This has been unbelievable. I have never had anything like this before. We are hoping to feel well enough to attend Church tomorrow.

Thanks for the prayers.

Home Sweet Home

We are truly Blessed again, Sunday night we stopped around 6pm at the Al/Miss state line rest area for a nap. We both woke up around midnight and said let's go ahead and drive. We don't like to drive at night and try to avoid it if we can. We were approximately 270 miles away. I wasn't much help driving this leg with all the coughing I was doing. But as we listened to the weather channel we were just in front of those awful thunderstorms. We received a light rain in Alabama I-20 to 59 safely home to Chattanooga.
Yesterday, I went to the Doctor to see why I was still coughing and I now have Bronchitis. Geez!! A strong cough syrup and a new antibiotic should hit this thing!!
It is really strange to walk in an empty house! Both of us laughing, no bed! So, I blew up the air mattress I bought for the Loyd's to use...how did they sleep on this thing, haha! Anyway, not an hour after we got home, our phone rang. The couple that looked at house 1 year ago, is still interested but still haven't sold their house and wants to look at it again this weekend.
We decided to get our stuff out of storage cause I did save one thing "our bed". LOL

God really has taken care of Hank and myself-we are truly Blessed.

Mill Creek Ranch RV Park & Cottage Resort

Hank and I decided to stop early for the evening just beyond Dallas in Canton, Texas.
We found this really nice resort that is only 1 year old and with the Good Sam card it was only $28. for the night. It is 200 acres and they are really planning for the future. So if anybody is driving I-20, it is a great stopping place for a day or week. Not much to do in the town, except weekend there are some flea markets.
Their website is www.millcreekranchresort.com

Las Cruces, New Mexico

Our first night on the road! After spending 3 months not driving, it took a little getting use to again. We took it easy the first day and drove to Las Cruces. We are now on our second day out, stopped at a rest area in Texas. We decided to have some lunch, put up the dish (communicate with the outside world) and have some lunch.
We don't know how far we will drive, but Monday we play to be in Dallas and catch up with some relatives.
So far, everything is back to normal...the dogs are behaving, the cat threw up this morning. It got a little motion sicknes with Hank driving I-10. The roads are gross!
We will be on I-20 before the end of the day.

The picture above is of Mexico, we are driving so close that Hank took some pictures. It looks so poor and so poluted. A yellow haze line just hangs over the city.

Take care...I will write later.

Our last night at Casa Grande

We had a great evening. Pam and Bud came by to wish us well, with a nice bottle of wine. After that, we joined Ann and Steve, Aase and Tom at Cracker Barrel. Since Aase and Tom are from Canada, they tried a couple of new Southern Things like: Okra, turnip greens and corn bread. They didn't like any of them, can you imagine that?
Then we girls challenged the guys to several games of hand and foot. The guys beat us the first set by 750 points but the second set, the girls cleaned they clock by 7000 points.
Such fun, we sure going to miss everyone!

Mar Jong

Tonight I played Mar Jong with my friends: Donna, Bev, Jane and Ann. Bev sat in tonight and learned how to play. She will be taking my place when I leave Friday with our little 4-some. There is always next year girls! Hey I even won once!

Cook E Jar

Our Friends from N.C. Peggy and Jim, came over and picked us up for lunch. They treated us to lunch at the Cook E Jar. Since Hank and I have been sick for over 2 wks.it was great getting out.


Today we went to the Cook E Jar for lunch. It is suppose to be one of the recommended places in Casa Grande to eat. It was very good!

Death by Chocolate

It was busy last night for us. We attended a play directed by a friend, Randall. The actors were residents of the park. Several of our friends were in it! It was really cute. Valarie, Ann and Pam are enjoying the evening.



On our table were chocolate candies, and you could get a chocolate latte to go with it! They really were trying to kill us.

Donna's Birthday

Last night we had a little celebration for Donna's 60th birthday! She also just completed radiation treatment for breast cancer. Thank you Lord! Prayers are awesome!
Donna and her husband-Mike are the friends that have children living in Ooltewah,Tn.
Can you believe that? We drive 2,000 miles and meet fellow Tennesseer's!

Eloy Skydiving School

Hank and I drove about 15-20miles down the road to Eloy. Their Skydiving is known all over the world especially for their wind tunnel. We watched 4 guys do all sorts of things from diving and floating, to acrobatics! The winds can reach up to 150 mph.


This is a display of a couple of guys floating around doing jumps over each other inside the wind tunnel.
It was fun watching these guys....they were really good.



The planes go up about every 30mins. taking jumpers. We watched them land right in front of us...very cool. Beautiful, clear day! Hank and I both still have our coughs, but I think we are on the road to recovery. Yeah.

Stir Crazy

Well, it has been a week since Becky and Jerry left and a week of being sick and stuck inside. I have greatly improved but Hank is still coughing and still on an antibiotic. I hope today will be a turning point for him. I went to Dr. yesterday and he ran some MORE test and will let me know results next Thursday...the night before we leave for home.
While I have been homebound, I have played next years adventure. We are going through St. Louis, Kansas and then 1 month in Colorado, 1month in Utah then to Becky's, New Mexico for Balloon Rally and return to Casa Grande for the winter!
Sounds like a plan!

Hopefully, I will have more to write about this week and the weeks to follow. I also hope the weather will be good and no snow storms to drive through.

Sicker than dogs

I got laryngitis last Sunday when Becky and Jerry arrived, it has been downhill since they left. I got this horrible deep cough, so after we dropped them off at the airport Thursday, I went to the Dr. He put me on an antibiotic for sinsus infection and a strong cough syrup for the night. Unfortunately, a week later, I still can't talk and I am still coughing all night. Now, since Friday, Hank has gotten the same thing but he has a sore throat. Why is he able to talk? He says it is a blessing that I am quiet!! We have been bed ridden for 2 days! The weather is gorgeous and I layed in the lounge chair, reading a book until I had a coughing fit and brought the neighbors out gawking!
Please keep us in your prayers...the entire resort is passing this thing around. We are among the youngest in the resort and this has hit us hard. I hope I get my voice back before Friday, my appt. with Rhymotologist. take care

Pickleball Tournament for "c's"

Becky, Jerry and Lillie played in the tourney. Out of 35 people, Jerry came in first. He shouldn't have been in C's anyway! Oh well...it was good experience.

This is a picture of Becky and Rita getting ready to go play.

such fun!!

Golfing with Professional PRO-Hank

I was so proud of my husband! He and Jerry went to play the 18-hole golf course here. He came home with such a nice high score--I was so proud of him for playing with a professional like Jerry.

Today, they are up at the Gym working out, while I am being a bum posting the news.

Take care....

Mexican Train

Last night Jerry learned how to play Mexican Train. He didn't want to play but we finally talked him in to it with our friend Peggy and Jim (N.C.)Guess who won??

Jerry.....!!!hahaha


Yesterday, we played couples pickle-ball. Hank and I beat Becky and Jerry, that was fun for us.

Last night, we went to Cynthia's for a great Mexican Dinner...Very Awesome!

Shuffleboard with Aunt Becky

Here is Becky with all the old Geizar's...I tell you, she looked like a pro whipping up on all those ole men.

B I N G O

As you can tell, we are very serious Bingo players. We had a great time but no Bingo winners here tonight, just lots of fun.

Monday, Picacho Peak State Park

Here is Jerry climbing the side of the mountain, working hard to get to the top.
Rita had a fear of heights, but Hank and Jerry coaxed her up! They made it! We are so proud of them. It was a very difficult climb.



Hank, Jerry, Becky, Lillie and my friend, Rita (65) decided to climb Picacho Peak.
I had laryngitis and Becky was getting over a really bad sinsus infection. The altitude made it hard for us, so at the last stop before cable-climbing cliff, we decided to head down the mountain. We had a nice picnic and the jacuzzi looked mighty fine for the evening entertainment.

Sunday, Becky and Jerry arrive from Atlanta

As you can tell, RV's really are built for 2. We McNair's are familiar to camping on floors like RV and Houseboats, remember? Becky and Jerry are real troopers, they blow up their bed every evening.

After arriving, Becky and I went and played water volleyball, then we submerged ourselves in the hot tub. Hank and Jerry went on a tour of the place while we played.

Then Becky and Jerry had lessons on how to play pickle-ball, very funny watching tennis ball players trying to bounce a woffle-ball.

Later on they learn to play Hand and foot (canasta).

Mystery Dinner Theater

Saturday, Hank and I went to dinner and who done it? We were to all dress like golf players. The dinner was excellent with veal and wild rice. Lemon desert and wine!

I was so exhausted from several rounds of pickle-ball, Hank and I left early before knowing who done it?!!! Hahaha typical Ole'people.

Mexican Train

Our old friends, Peggy and Jim arrived from N.C. this weekend. We had them over for dinner Sunday and shared a nice bottle of wine from Nova Scotia. We also compared new memmories of experiences full-timing.
Then Monday night, Bingo provided only intertainment and no money for either couple.
Yesterday was a craft fair, then we played Mexican Train. Jim almost won but was over taken at the last hand.

Today, I get medical reports, hopefully, Hank is playing pickleball, then a pizza party tonight and Mar Jong for Lillie with new friends.

Phoenix Coyotes vs Anaheim Ducks

Last night the resort offered us tickets to an ice hockey game, so Hank went to his first game (other than Treys'). We drove a bus over to Phoenix! We also received a free t-shirt and hat! Very Cool...we slipped our shirts over our other ones, cause it was cold and put our hats on and we looked like Real Fans howling for the Coyotes.
They not only went in to overtime, but we went to a shoot off. The Coyotes won!
While we were there we caught a bite to eat and the bad news, Hank has been sick all night and I haven't felt that great either. I hope we'll both improve this morning not only to go to church, but our friends arrived late last night from N.C. It is suppose to be a busy week. Yuck...just went outside and it is raining, what next??

Lawn Bowling

Today Hank and I were walking down to the clubhouse and the lawn-bowlers were there in their whites. Most are from Canada! We just had our cell phone so the picture isn't that great, but I thought it was neat....all in whites!
