Back home in Mississippi.

We arrived back home in Mississippi on October 13th.  I had a cousin who was getting married on the 17th and really wanted to attend so we left Branson early.

John has been busy working at the Renaissance Mall since we arrived back home. I have had an interview with a law firm through the temp agency but have not heard back from that.

We have had rain for the last couple of days.  Rain that has greatly needed.   Now I am ready for it to stop. 

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay safe. 

Dinner with Tony and Carol & Celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary.

The weather here as been really nice.  Most days the high is mid to high 70's.   Last week John and I visited the outlet mall and finally found some new walking shoes. Sometimes that can be an ordeal. John found a pair of New Balance walking shoes and is happy with them.   I was having difficulty finding a wide width shoe in sizes 5 1/2 or 6.   Last December I was diagnosed with MTP Snyovitis in my right foot and I have to have just the right shoes or my right foot kills me.  MTP Synovitis (Metatarsophalangeal Synotivis) is a common disorder caused by excessive stress where the metatarsal and phalanx bones meet.  The condition is aggravated by activity such as walking or any excessive stress on the joint.  Anyway, the doctor explained to me that the ligaments loosen and the joint may develop instability.  Oh happy day. In my case, the third toe and ball of the foot are affected. It can be very painful at times and and just darn inconvenient.  I purchased a pair of Skechers Sport walking shoes with memory foam.  I have walked in them everyday and so far I am very happy with them.  Usually before 30 minutes are up I have the beginnings of stinging pain in my foot but these seem to work.  Ok, enough of the medical stuff. 

Friday, October 9th, John and I had dinner with fellow fulltime RVers Tony and Carol at the Rib Crib. The food and service at the Rib Crib are great.  If you are in the area check them out.  We met Tony and Carol last month in Halstead, Kansas while staying at Spring Lake RV Resort.  We all just happen to be in Branson at the same time.  It was Carol's birthday so we were glad to celebrate with them.

Yesterday John and I celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary.  Wow, how time flies.  It seems like yesterday when we were two kids just starting out.  I am so lucky to be married to my best friend and sharing my life with him.  Thank you John for putting up with me all these years.  Love you. 

We decided to eat at Florentina's Ristorante Italiano.  We had eaten there a couple years back and enjoyed it so we were looking forward to it.  Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good.  Part of John's entree was cold.  The food was served so quickly it was apparent it was pre made and reheated.  On the other hand the service was great.

Laugh everyday.  Happy trails.  Stay safe. 

A visit with George and Mike.

After a couple days in Linn Valley, KS we were on our way to Branson, MO.  John decided to stop off in Joplin, MO and get the motorhome serviced and I drove on ahead to Treasure Lake Resort to get us a site.   Our favorite spot (where everything works) was already taken....bummer...but there was one across the street from it on the opposite corner.  I placed our site tag on the post, got my lawn chair out and waited for John to arrive.   You know that drew lots of attention.  Several people stopped by to talk.  Finally John pulled in and we were all set.  Except...the satellite would not work from the site.  John moved our Wingard around all over the site but no luck.  We drove though the campground and looked at other sites but they weren't any better.   John called the office the next morning to see when our favorite site was supposed to be vacant.  Lucky for us they were scheduled to leave that day.   When they started to unhook I went to the office and obtained new site tag so we could move.  Now we are on our favorite site and everything works fine.  We will be here 21 days so having everything working is great.

Our site.

Our friends George and Mike from Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge arrived in town for a visit.  Friday morning we met them for breakfast at Starvin Marvin's.  They have a breakfast buffet and the price is right.  We all attended the show SIX that night.  They were awesome as usual.  

George and Mike.

Saturday we spent the day with George and Mike touring Branson and enjoyed a nice lunch at Danna's BBQ & Burgers.  It was yummy.

John was in heaven. 

So glad we got to see Geoge and Mike again.  We wish them safe travels and hope to see them again soon. 

Laugh everyday.   Happy trails.  Stay safe.
