OUR SNOWBIRD & RVing FRIENDS Back In OHIO

We've had a different day today, but will try my hand at typing this Blog. I continue with testing to make sure that everything is ok following my past year with surgery, and will wait for all results. Today's test required that I spend twenty four hours doing nothing, but will try the Blog since I feel well. So far all results are good. We have had a fun couple of weeks meeting with and visiting our snowbird and RVing friends. We are here at the campground with Sandy and Micky whom we met here last year. They have been spending summers for the last twenty years in this park. So last winter while in Florida, we stopped at their winter home in Melbourne FL for lunch one day. We had a great visit there and have continued such visits here at Timashamie, as you can see, here at their summer home. You can see that they have been here long enough to have flower beds and a following of finch and hummingbirds. Sandy said that as soon as they get here in the spring the birds seem to know they are here. They are at the feeders as soon as they fill them! I intend to get more pictures close-up to show the birds better. I just need to go back and sit on their porch and wait for them. They are not afraid of people. Another day we went to Hartville OH to meet up with Bill and Bette who began full timing about the same time that we did. We met them through a newspaper article in the Canton Repository and have visited and kept in contact ever since. Our plans are to winter near them in AZ part of this coming winter. That was a great visit and we were glad to get it in before Bette had to go for knee replacement surgery. Take care Bill and Bette and hope to see you again real soon! We also learned that a couple from our church are seriously planning on parting with their home and beginning their full time adventure. Wannabes, Bill and Jane, were also a wealth of information for us as they have already been west with their trailer. So Bill and Gary have been pouring over the maps. They also had a need to pick our brains and hear of our experiences. So this was done during and after a good picnic dinner. The bugs finally chased us in doors. It was a great evening and we are planning to do it again. Best of luck on your plans Bill and Jane, I am sure you will love it! Then on Saturday our full timer friends, Bob and Donna, stopped by for a visit in between visits with other friends and Donna's grand daughter's wedding, which they flew home for. They should have left today to fly back to their home on wheels. As you can see, I forgot to get the camera out that day, so I went into the archives and picked a picture from when we met up with them at the Finger Lakes in NY. So glad that you stopped Bob and Donna, and we will look forward to meeting up with you in the west!! Later Saturday evening, we were sitting out under the awning when Sandy and Mickey drove by in Micky's new toy! They had been out for a joy ride and ice cream. But they didn't bring us any!! Can you imagine that for friends?

The care looks great, but they say that it needs a lot of TLC. Have fun working on it Micky!! I imagine that his son-in-law will have a hand in it also!

While Micky works on his project, Gary has been busy building the cabinet for under my desk top that is on order. He is doing well and it looks good. Still more elbow work to be done and the doors and hardware are still not here yet. Hopefully, it will be done before we leave Ohio.

I am looking forward to using the finished product. It will be great for my scrapbooking!!

And I think that will be the last big project for the motorhome. Nothing has been real expensive, but we need to quit spending money. The only thing left that we had planned is drapes for the living area and curtains for the bedroom. But I am not sure if that will all get finished. Time is running out!!

The remainder of the stay here will be mostly visiting and a couple day trips for Gary and our grandson. Then school begins!

Have a great summer and take care!
