We made it to Texas at about noon today. We are in the Gulf Coast RV Resort, two or three miles southwest of Beaumont and will be here until January 26th. We spent last night in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Picayune, Mississippi. Not something we want to do a lot of but it gave us a good night's

We left home just before noon yesterday and stopped about 7PM for dinner and fuel at a Flying J at Exit 77 on I-81 in Virginia. We ended up spending the night in the parking lot amidst other RV's. We did get a comfortable night's sleep but had to scrape the windshield in the morning. We are no

We are back in Exton after a 9 hour trip on New Year's day. The trip was good except for a snowstorm through all of MA. I skied all day on the 31st and my legs are still complaining a little. We will now unpack, pack, visit the kids, pick up the trailer on Saturday and leave on Sunday the 6th

Wednesday the 26th we drove to Maine to stay with Steve and Laura at their condo at Sugarloaf until after the new year. We had a safe trip and made it in less than 10 hours in spite of the traffic. The snow is beautiful and it has not been too cold. They skied while we hiked and rested and the

The grandkids requested them so we had a corn dog Christmas. Of course Alesa still fixed a turkey, 2 ducks, a ham and a half dozen pounds of sausage with numerous sides and desserts. After visiting and playing we "opened" the stockings and the kids (with Nana) performed a kazoo concert of Chris

Today was Bailey's 7th birthday so Jeff took his family, Danielle's mother and us to the Palace in Downingtown to bowl. The kids bowl all the time on the Wii so Bailey wanted to try the real thing. They had light balls of various colors and designs, a bowling ramp and the gutters were raise-abl

Mike got a Philadelphia walking tour book and the girls had a half day of school so we met him and his family downtown for a brisk walk. We had snow that morning and we took the train from Malvern to the Market East station downtown. We walked around city hall and down Broad Street and read abo

Jeff finished the major part of their move last weekend and after a few runs this week there is only about 10% left to go. We now have most of our stuff back in place and have been able to complete some projects. SHE won't let me put my chair back in the game room so it has been exiled to the f
