Feb 20 - WARM!

We are enjoying quite a "heat wave", well maybe not quite a heat wave but it has been warmer than normal. At 9:20AM it is 62, the overnight low was 54. Highs are forecast to be in the 50's both Friday and Saturday, before the temps go back down to normal. By late next week highs are forecast as being in the low 20's. By then we hope to be in Alabama where the high temps are forecast to be in the high 50's.

We picked up our motorhome yesterday. Everything appears to be good, except my wallet <grin>. I praise God that He has made it possible for us to have the resources to have a good standard of living and to be able to handle financial surprises.

Troy, at Camping World, did a final "walk-thru" inspection yesterday morning, to make sure that everything was done right. He found an item that still needed some "tweaking" so I had to wait on it for maybe half an hour. Not a huge inconvenience as I could walk around the store and look at all the many RV accessories that area available.

Kathy, Lydia & I had driven up to get it. Kathy and Lydia came back home while I waited on it. When I got home I drove it out behind the shed and Kathy came out to drive it, while I directed, to turn it around and get it headed out the drive. This was probably the first time I was glad for all our rock just below the surface. The soil on top of the rock was still muddy from all the snow melt and twice we spun the tires in the mud before getting it turned around.

Kathy had Lydia strapped into the passenger seat while she turned it around and Lydia had a ball. As soon as Kathy shut it off , got out of the drivers seat and unbelted Lydia, Lydia jumped down, climbed onto the drivers seat and announced "I drive, I drive". She is READY to go camping. We are hoping that it works our for her to stay in TN with us for at least a few days after Merv's birthday party.

Kelsey and Lydia came up this morning and Lydia and I ate breakfast together. We shared some oatmeal and a grapefruit (I try to eat a healthy breakfast at least a couple of times a week <grin>). I am going to miss her while we are gone.

I hope you have/had a great day. May God bless you and yours.

Time for me to get ready for a trip to the fitness center.
