Time to head back to our new home

We got up this morning and finished doing some errands. Hubby decided he thought he could travel and were both ready to head back to our own home. We love seeing family and spending time with them .. but were missing our own place.

We have found it doesn’t matter where home is .. after your away from it awhile you begin to miss it. So we loaded up the truck and everything we are taking back with us. The rest of our stuff is going to be stored in Gabe’s shed until we can return to get it. Around 1 pm we headed toward Missouri. Hubby drove a couple of hours and learned he his not himself yet and so i took over driving.

We arrived back in Bald Knob, AR around 9 pm, we went by McD’s and got us a bite to eat and then headed back to the Budget Inn. We stayed in the same room as we did before and spent the night.

Dentist

We got up and got things around, then it was time to head to the dentist. Hubby is having some dental work done. Everything went well at the dentist and hubby got the gum treatment done. Now we wait for 4-6 weeks for healing for the next process of dental work.

Hubby wasn’t feeling to well so we headed to Gabe’s house so he could lay down. We have been homeless all week long since the motor home caught fire and we had to leave it in AR. We’ve been staying at our son Gabe’s house (thanks Gabe .. love ya).

cleaning storage and laundry

Friday .. We spent the morning cleaning up the house and doing laundry .. Later in the afternoon we stopped by hubby’s mom and seen her. Then we went to the grand kids .. the grand daughter ended up coming to spend the night with us.

Saturday .. we got up and got ready we went to the oldest son house and picked up Tyson and Tobeman. Then we headed up to the storage unit to do some cleaning. What a job that was! It did get rid of lots of stuff that wasn’t needed but we have more to go through but we were all tired and decided to do it another day.

Hubby and I were exhausted and decided since it was finally just the two us for a change we’d go out to dinner. We chose the local Chinese place and it was pretty good. We got home late and got ready for bed.

We are having a great time but we sure are exhausted! Were not use to this busy schedule we’ve been keeping.

A night out with friends

We got up early and got moving. Hubby has a dentist appointment. After seeing the dentist and getting the bad news we headed back to our son house. It’s looking like it’s going to be a long drawn out event with hubby’s teeth. 4 months!

Tonight we went out to eat with some old friends and had a great time. We went to Applebee’s. I had the Philly cheese and onion rings it was so good .. hubby had the cowboy cheeseburger and fries.

Happy Birthday Toby!

Today my grandson turn 2 years old. We are going later to see him and have a birthday party!

028

Toby had so much fun blowing out his candles that his dad had to keep relighting them so that he could blow them out even more. Then he really enjoyed digging his fingers in the icing and eating .. Although his mom had to refrain him until she got him his own piece. I didn’t get pictures of that part as my camera was full of pictures .. i gotta get another memory card!

029

He ate his entire piece of cake and boy did he enjoy it. We had his favorite food for dinner .. Spaghetti!

We have been having a great time seeing our family. The past few days i have been visiting with my sisters while hubby is off with the boys. We went out with our son Gabe and his girl friend for dinner last night at the Chinese restaurant. We were a bit disappointed as our favorite restaurant back here is not as good as Beijing in Texas. We still had a good time and got home late.

We are enjoying seeing family and spending time but man O man it’s been exhausting! We are up early and to bed very late with lots of activity going on during the day. Lots to get done and more yet to still do.

The insurance still hasn’t gotten an adjuster out to look at Ms. Southwind, hopefully today. So i still have nothing to report on what will be done.

Hubby has his doctor appointment tomorrow and after we find out what their going to do i will report.

The weather has been wonderful here! In the 80’s, today they are calling for rain after lunch and it does appear to be cloudy at times.

Until next time …
