TM and I enjoying the moment!
The wedding of TM's oldest son took place without a hitch last July in the church next door. All the guests needed to do was walk across the lawn to our house for the outdoors reception. They have two sons who were the life of the party. We enjoyed a full week with all of the family under one roof; this included TM's youngest son and his two children and Eric, Katie, and their two boys. It was a whirlwind week full of action and errands. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the whole event!
 
 
The farmers are winding down with their harvest around here, the leaves are just beginning to change, and the air is definitely turning cooler. It is 44 degrees this morning,,,,brrrrrrrr! Hopefully, we will soon be able to begin our southerly trip......BUT...
 
 
Darn it all to heck, TM's last test was abnormal again!!!!! So, we have a round of doctor appointments next week before we'll know what our options are. TM is in the best physical shape I've ever seen him in, his heart muscle itself is strong with no signs of his heart attack two years ago, but his "plumbing"/arteries are a mess. We are keeping our fingers crossed!!
 
 
TM took our 'outside' cat to the vet this morning for his leukemia shot. When he got the little monster home, I opened the carrier door, he scurried out, and took off as if we had done something wrong! What's up with you guys is the look he gave us.
 
Be safe in any of your travels, and those of you with medical concerns...stay positive and

Winter plans...crossing our fingers!!!



Winter plans made [sorta'], Jazzy has been gussied up [sorta'], TM's baby [not me...his truck] has been checked over, and we are READY to get going!!! However..........................TM is having another nuclear stress test this coming Tuesday so we are keeping our fingers crossed all results will be positive!!!

Our plans are to visit www.bettysrvpark.com first week in November; we'll be there for the World's Biggest Omelet Festival...whatttt??? LOL. Then on to Alabama for a few nights, Florida Panhandle for a week, and then down to www.cedarkeyrvresort.com for the duration. Hoping we will still be there when The Caves www.dennisdonna.blogspot.com are across the road in March at www.anglersrv.com - maybe share a few adult beverages and swap Illinois stories!

TM is still in cardio rehab 3 x a week after his last stent in July... makes the 80 mile round trip on his motorcycle when he can! We both took off on our bikes a few weeks ago for my first ride all summer. Guess what happened? Yep, my lil' Dyna decided to get stubborn on me. TM and I lucked out as Dyna quit at a nice shady spot on a 90 plus degree day. A nice rural mail carrier {she and her hubby both ride} stopped to offer assistance - went and got us some bottled water and left her number before continuing on her mail route; we so appreciated her stopping and bringing us water [of all days for me NOT to put bottled water in my saddlebags]! Others stopped to ask if they could help; it is nice to still see that in the rural area in which we live. We were only about 45 miles from home, so TM's cousin [lives in same town as us] brought our cargo trailer, they loaded Dyna, I rode with the Cuz and Frank [his dog], and TM followed us back home. Next day TM dropped Dyna off at our favorite cycle cranker shop...www.meanstreetcustomsmc.com and $1500.00 and a few days later she purrs again!!

We spent a few days in Jazzy early September at www.rvonthego.com/indiana/horseshoe-lakes-rv-campground to be close to my family as my 44 year old nephew {his wife is manager at Horseshoe Lakes} died of a heart attack September 8th. Wade was the maintenance guy at the campground, his parents [my brother] are annual site residents and have been for years, his sister/my niece and family are there as much as possible on weekends on their annual site, and as stated Wade's wife manages the campground. His death was so unexpected it just blew us all away! However, everyone has gotten right up and are carrying on just as Wade would expect.

Another niece is expecting her first child late November/early December; we are all super excited over that! She and her brother are twins and today, October 3rd, is their 27th birthdays! Happy birthday, Critters!!!!
