She researched motorhomes on the internet and through motorhome magazines and decided she wanted one made by Tiffin because of their good reports from owners. They found this one in Marietta, Georgia at Three Way Campers. We all love Alle G and are extremely happy with our choice.

Missy and Rodney came Friday evening-Missy had a mud run Saturday morning and I was to compete in a tournament at Creek Casino at the same time, so Rodney, Dick and I went to the casino. Needless to say I didn't win but it was fun. When Missy got home we all went out for Mexican food. It was delicious but Rodney and I found a new "hot" sauce....wow, when they say hot, they mean HOT!!! Dick doesn't understand how I can say it's delicious and still almost too hot to eat but it really was. Rick came over and picked up Rodney to go to our downtown St. Patrick's Day festival-Rick showed him around downtown and Rodney has found some new places to eat when they come back to town. Today Rick and Lizzie came over and Rick cooked collard greens, blackeyed peas and fried pork chops, Lizzie made some good cornbread and Missy handled dessert--she bought a huge plastic margarita glass for her Dad and filled it with Ghiardella brownies, chocolate and vanilla ice cream and whipped cream with sprinkles. This was also a birthday celebration since Dick's birthday was on the 14th. We sat around and played an '80's trivia game that my bff gave to Dick for his birthday. It was fun but I couldn't believe how little I could remember....I said I must have slept thru the '80's. lol Ry came this evening and Michelle came when she got off work so it's been a really cool and very enjoyable day!<br />
We are planning some trips soon and I'm hoping to be posting more. I've been sick for quite awhile but thanks to the good Lord and this new medicine my doctor has given me, I'm doing much better. I read almost all the blogs I subscribe to most every day but just haven't felt like posting myself. Hoping to change that now that I'm feeling better. We've had some really gorgeous weather too which has certainly helped. Our daffodils have bloomed and gone, but we have iris, camellias, rhododendrens, flowering quince and the redbud trees is just starting to bloom. I've always loved cold weather but I didn't realize just how much I was looking for Spring. Boy, am I ready. I've lost about 62 lbs so that helps too. Went shopping and now buying 4 sizes smaller....can't beat that for a good feeling. Going to try to post some pics now-hope I can figure it out. lol<br />

Dick had to cut down a huge Poplar tree that was half dead and we had a really pretty Peace rose blooming. Planted two dogwood trees at the cemetery so that we could continue the tradition of decorating them at Christmas time – this was a tradition that my Grandmother started 67 years ago, When she couldn’t continue doing it, my Mother took over and now it’s handed down to my daughter and me. Many people don’t find comfort in cemeteries but I always have. It’s the last thing I can do for them here and I like seeing their graves clean and flowers blooming. It was fun watching Nikki </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px"

young lady. Then there’s the flowers blooming that I mentioned earlier, azaleas, rhododendruns and camellias. The women in my family have always loved yard work – my Mother could be found watering her yard at 11:30 at night. She said it was peaceful at that time and it was the only time she had to do it with everything else that was going on in her life. My Grandmother would go out early in the morning and work til almost 11, then come in for some lunch and other inside things to do til it cooled off outside and then back out around 3 p.m. til dark. It gave them and the neighbors much pleasure to see all the beautiful plants.

My dear Mother-in-law's birthday was the 25th and our wedding anniversary is Feb. 6th. Used to be a busy month for us when they were all alive. Still a good month to celebrate close to 50 years of marriage. Our yard begins blossoming out with the promise of a lovely Spring and Summer. This year we were blessed with a new baby, sweet Michael. All in all, a great month. Below are a few pictures to show our yard, a crochet project, Michael and his sweet Mother Kayla and a romantic dinner my husband cooked and served in our Florida room. <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-CLt-6jKJfNM/UE_b04BZDRI/AAAAAAAAASM/mA6ELSbDKXk/s1600-h/February%252520-%252520The%252520Month%252520of%252520Love%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="February - The Month of Love" border="0" alt="February - The Month of Love" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-iwaR8bBC4SY/UE_b1SVk65I/AAAAAAAAASU/GzlmDTCMRWY/February%252520-%252520The%252520Month%252520of%252520Love_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="139"></a> BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-44432663734320605552012-01-29T22:55:00.000-08:002012-06-26T23:11:50.544-07:00New Year Fun January 2012What a great way to start the new year - a trip to Pennsylvania with Missy! She hasn't been there in many years so it was fun to see her visiting with everyone. It was enjoyable being with her in the rv on the way up and back. She had a really good time with everyone-went to Gettysburg with Uncle Gary, gained a huge amount of info on Indians and arrowheads from Uncle Gene, held Brandon and Alyssa’s sweet baby son, got to visit with Josh and Elizabeth and their adorable kids and a whole bunch of other family members.<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-xJrilkbsMww/T-qe2HUYJLI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/PZjm2IXjyQA/s1600-h/Feb.%25252024%25252C%2525202012%252520001%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Tina" border="0" height="184" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-sy0NRLRT-Y0/T-qe2mMrHbI/AAAAAAAAAMY/njnDILCzqAc/Feb.%25252024%25252C%2525202012%252520001_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none;

Christmas is always a special time for me, has been since I can remember. Celebrating Jesus's birthday has always been upper most in our minds. Following that has been the family get-togethers...many were somewhat tainted with arguments that when looked back upon were really not necessary....but that's the way it is in some families. I love and miss every member of my family and would so very much love to go back and have just one of those times when we were all together. But now I enjoy the company of my young adult children and their families....doesn't it sound strange to say adult children??? lol They make my life complete and both are such blessings. Hope I can get all these pics posted....I'm still very much into the learning phase of adding the pictures and don't do it very well but hopefully you will be able to see those who mean so much to me. The northern members are not with us for Christmas so I will post them in the January section. I'm extremely thankful to my Father in Heaven for each and every one you will see here and those who weren't here.<br />

</tbody></table> A few weeks back we had the pleasure of making a trip to Emerald Beach RV Park in Navarre, Florida, with four of our grandchildren. This trip was for what our granddaughter Lizzie calls the "blood kin grandkids". lol No, we don't make a distinction, that's just the way she has chosen to explain to those who ask. Ryan (17) our firstborn grandson, Shane (17) our second grandson, Nikki (16) our first granddaughter and Lizzie (14) our second granddaughter, my husband Dick, our canine companion Killer and me....lots of folks in a small area but it was such fun! We drove down Friday morning, picked up the rental car and got set up. Then it was off shopping at the Santa Rosa Mall. The girls went one way, the boys the other and we found a good place to sit and people watch. We got a snack and just rested and enjoyed ourselves while the kids were spending money. The boys came back after buying their girlfriends jewelry...nothing for themselves. The girls found a few things they wanted and then it was off to dinner. The lady at Enterprise car rental had suggested a barbecue place on Hwy 87 so we decided to try it. I wasn't sure about it when we pulled up but the lady had told us that it didn't look like much on the outside but the food was good. The closer we got the more my misgivings rose...the music was loud and it kind of looked like what used to be called a "roadside tavern". After we were seated I saw other families with their kids so I relaxed a little and decided to give it a try. The food was very good and plenty of it. There was a small dance floor and a couple of ladies who were feeling no pain. lol We got a kick out of watching them dance and listening to the band. When we pulled out my husband turned left and we quickly realized he should have gone across the road further before turning left...yep, u got it...we were going down the wrong side of the road. He quickly turned but not before some serious ribbing from the grandkids. The boys went down to the beach with flashlights and buckets going "crabbing". Late nite, we made it to bed around 1 a.m.<br />
The next morning we all decided to go swimming...it was really nice. This place is bayside so the waves weren't too bad. It was such a gorgeous day and we all enjoyed it. My husband met two other fellas who were from Alabama and spent some time talking with them and crabbing with the boys. After showers we headed over to Crabs We Gott em and if u haven't eaten there, I suggest u try it. The food is fantastic, the service is great and it's right on the gulf. After stuffing ourselves Nikki decided she wanted a dessert called Death by Chocolate so we ordered that and left. Now for more shopping at the mall across the street. We found a nice area to sit and listen to a band called the Johanssons on the boardwalk. They were really good, and watching the moon come up over the gulf was so nice. Around 8:30 we decided to head back and let the kids have some beach time before bed. Dick went to bed early but I didn't get to sleep til 2:30. The next morning was spent just cooking breakfast and packing up to head home since 3 of the kids had to be in school the next day.<br />
We enjoyed the company of these wonderful young folks so much! Each one is such a blessing and it was nice to have them all together...something that I don't know if we'll be able to do again so I was extra thankful for this weekend. They each have a full life and busy schedule...Ry and Shane are seniors so they will be off to college next year, Nikki is in the 10th and Lizzie is in the 9th grade. It's hard to realize they have grown up so quickly but young adults they are. I thank Heavenly Father every day for them and our other grandchildren...Aryn (18), Miles (16), Erran (19), Allison (13) and Kayla (16). All these wonderful young folks hold a special place in our hearts and lives. We are so proud of them all!<br />
I'm fairly new to blogging so I hope to add our pictures of the trip. It's been a long time since my last post and I hope to change that from now on. I enjoy all the blogs I follow and I realize how nice it is to "hear" from them every day so I will make the effort to post more often...it won't be every day because we aren't on the road that often but hopefully at least every week.BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-22531298911727418782011-08-14T20:43:00.000-07:002011-09-05T17:38:57.483-07:00Fun in July in PA<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table> It's been a long time between posts...unfortunately I've never been much of a writer and this is really to keep the family up-to-date but so glad that anyone else might enjoy it as well. Hope you all can follow along as time permits.<br />
We had such a good time visiting PA in July! We were there for the 4th and had almost 40 people there...and that's not all of us. lol We really enjoy getting together with them...my husband is the oldest of seven...sadly we lost our brother Dean 4 years ago to a major heart attack. He was way too young but heart conditions are no respector of age. Dean could always make me smile, he was such a special guy! The first time I met him I knew because there was a gleem in his eye. lol He was only 10 but special even at that age. He is always with us in spirit...someone is forever saying "do u remember when Dean____" and we all fill in the blanks. Love u my sweet brother!<br />
My dear sister Connie allowed us to park in her driveway and it was wonderful. We could stay up late as we wanted and then head out to the rv at bedtime. She always asks us to stay in the house but it's just easier not to have to carry clothes and stuff back and forth. Then we're there first thing in the morning and no one has to drive anywhere. She is a marvelous cook and always feeds us like kings and queens. We are privileged to spend time with each of his brothers and youngest sister. Every get-together is such a special blessing to me. Although I do have younger sisters I wasn't raised with any of them so it was more like being an only child...when I met my husband and he took me home, it was Heaven on earth. I'll post some pics here of our get-together. It amazed me because when we left Alabama it was sooo hot...when we got there it was cool enough to have a fire and we had one every night except for 2. They live on a hill with a really nice view and we were able to spend many nights on the porch, enjoying the breeze and the fire. I feel so at home there, wish we could move up there. Their family dynamics are so good, they all seem to enjoy doing things together, just a close family with lots of love. Hope you all enjoy the pics...know my kids will get a kick out of them.

I spent some very enjoyable days with Lizzie and have been busy emptying the old house and getting it ready for sale. We got some much needed rain today and I know our garden is grateful. This month and next will be spent tidying and readying the house for sale and then we hope to be on the road either in late August or early September. Can't wait to head north to visit friends and family. I have the worst case of hitch-itch. lol<br />
Still have lots to learn about blogging....finally figured out how to add additional posts I'm following. Now if I can just figure out how to add those who r following me and fix it so that when u click on it u will go to their sites....all in good time. lol I'm an ole dog but I can learn some new tricks. Hope everyone can stay cool and comfy. We r limited to either early morning hours or late afternoon to do anything outside....just too hot for this ole girl. Thankfully there's not much calling us out there. The garden is struggling along but should be giving up some beans and peas pretty soon. Also time to replant the corn and going to add some peppers. My son was surprised that I hadn't already done that...but I'm usually the only one who eats them so I didn't plant any. Going to plant both hot and regular now tho. Hopefully we'll have all harvested before we hit the road but if not, we have some wonderful neighbors who can partake of the produce.<br />
Happy Summer fellow travelers...stay cool as u can and enjoy every day! Each one is a gift from our Heavenly Father and I hope not to waste a single one.BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-6089078220851683162011-06-10T15:25:00.000-07:002011-06-10T15:25:14.479-07:00Good Friends & Family<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Having a fantastic day with Bettie, Lizzie and Dick. Lizzie is spending the weekend with us. Bettie brought a delicious squash casserole that I loved and roma tomatoes and feta cheese which she doctored up with spices and olive oil. With this we had honey barbecue wings and hot fudge sundaes for dessert. She is a gourmet cook and always has something new to try...we love being her guinea pigs! We're talking about going on a camping trip soon...we'll let the guys fish and we'll read books, crochet, walk and enjoy the sunsets. Sooo looking forward to it.</span>BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-86216413548341388682011-06-09T10:25:00.000-07:002011-06-09T10:25:20.235-07:00New FollowersThanks so much to all my new followers. I'm tech-challenged so I'm learning how to thank u each individually. I'm really surprised and pleased to have six wonderful folks following....thought it would probably be only my kids and grandkids. lol <br />
Not much to report today, just one of those wash clothes and get things ready for the road days. Hope to post our most recent trip photos and info on here shortly. We spent a few days in Navarre, FL - New Orleans, LA and St. Thomas, PA recently. Wonderful time with family and friends.<br />
Again, welcome new friends and thanks for following.BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-65410901813308536672011-06-07T21:42:00.000-07:002011-06-07T21:44:26.795-07:00Fun Time With NikkiHad a fun day with our sweet granddaughter Nikki today. Picked her up and went shopping. We had breakfast at the Waffle House and headed to Rue 21. She does love that store. It was fun watching her shop, she is great at it. She gets some really good bargains and dresses so cute. Also hit Kohl's and Sports Authority. We decided to cool off with some slushes from Sonic and they really were good. We got to visit some here at the house before it was time for her to go. She is such a sweet and beautiful girl, we really enjoy spending time with her! Hopefully we'll be able to visit with more of the grandchildren soon. They are all so grownup and have busy schedules so we have to catch them when we can. lol<br />
Want to thank my dear friend Pidge who sent me some tips about blogging. I was stuck like glue and she made it easy. Thanks Pidge!BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-12914092236509861872011-06-06T17:51:00.000-07:002011-06-06T17:51:25.609-07:00Disappointing NewsWell my dr. visit went pretty good til she told me that traveling for longer than 6 weeks at a time would not be possible. I think I'm going for a second opinon later this month. I know I can get the test and Zometa at other facilities...but she said that I needed to see the same oncologist all the time so they could keep a close eye on me. Seems that anyone can read test results and decide if I need the Zometa or not. We'll see what the future holds.<br />
Hot one here in Montgomery...no sign of relief for about 3 months. BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783405684092221926.post-81294588567043956572011-06-05T17:20:00.000-07:002011-06-05T17:20:53.917-07:00First BlogI'm new to blogging so please bear with me while I learn. A few facts about us....We are both 65, been married for 45 years, and both retired. We have two wonderful children, our daughter Melissa (Missy) is 43 and our son Ricky (Rick) is 40. They each have a boy and a girl and both their spouses have 2 children so we r blessed with beautiful grandchildren. My husband worked for a railroad maintenance company for 33 years before retiring in 2009. I worked as a property manager for housing for elderly and disabled for 14 years before retiring in 2006. I retired at that time to give my full attention to my two aunts and one uncle, the last of the older relatives I had. Both ladies had Copd and my uncle had Parkinson's and Alzheimers. He passed away in 2006 just 4 months after I retired. Both aunts passed away in 2009. For anyone out there who has ever done it, u know that caretaking is a tremendously stressful and tiring time of life but also the most rewarding. It is sad to see those u love deteriorate before ur eyes but it's good to be there for them. We all need someone or will before we die. It's a good feeling to know that u can do something to ease the pain, stress and fear at the time of life when it's needed. Within a few months of my aunt's passing I experienced some medical problems which went into spring of 2010, at which time I found that the breast cancer I'd had 15 years ago (and thought I was cured of) had returned, this time in my bones. Unfortunately there is no cure for this but the wonderful medications available now help not only to extend our lives but also ease the pain. I'm blessed with a wonderful doctor who has a very caring team at the Kirklin Clinic in Birmingham, AL. We travel there once a month for tests, doctor visit and Zometa infusion. We decided that was the proper time for us to start traveling since no one is promised tomorrow and with this diagnosis I had an urgent need to get out and see the world. We bought an Allegro Bay and started taking small trips in between doctor visits. Now that I'm able to go only once a month, it is possible to travel 3 weeks out of 4. We haven't actually been able to do that just yet but that is the plan. I will see my doctor tomorrow and I'm hoping to be able to see her every other month which will give us more travel time. My sweet husband has become the caregiver and is taking wonderful care of me. No one could ask for or get a better husband....I've always said he's such a giving person because he's the oldest of 7 children. He has a loving caring family in Pennsylvania that we love to visit every opportunity we get. We are considering fulltiming which would allow us to divide our time between here and PA. I could receive my treatments there also. There is a lot to think about and decide but that is where we stand now. I hope many of u will follow along and I'm especially interested in anyone who is traveling with a disability. It's a little different but certainly not impossible.<br />
We would love to hear from anyone out there on the road and hopefully meet some of u when possible. We were fortunate to meet some fulltiming friends when they came thru Montgomery several weeks back, Pidge and Don Winter, The Frugal Travelers. Wonderful friendly folks, looking forward to seeing them again, possibly later this year.<br />
So, come along with us and enjoy this beautiful country that God has given us. Every day is a gift, look for and u will find something special and precious in each one.BamaGurlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00249698591826909665noreply@blogger.com0
