It has been over a month since I have posted but the
urge to do so has finally returned. We
have been keeping busy with a couple of RV rallies and plenty of time with the
Grandkids.
At the end of January, we attended our FMCA club
outing in Picayune, MS at the Sun Roamers RV Resort. This is a large facility that has been
changing hands a number of times recently. We had a great time with the club,
but we had truly awful weather for most of our time there with heavy rains and
cold. We discovered that the park and
the surrounding area is prone to flooding in such conditions. We only thought to take pictures on the one
day that was mostly dry. The club house
and large number of sites with full hookups make this a good place for a larger
group to meet.
Returning home, we celebrated our Granddaughter
Victoria's fourth birthday. It seems
that she has decided that all pictures of her must include silly faces. She did seem to enjoy the exercise frog that
we found on our travels. Nico quietly
took it all in stride.
With the relatively cold weather, we have been
spending more time around the house, just relaxing and watching the critters
that wander into the yard. We decided
that Halley needs a purpose in life, so she is now our official security force.
Last weekend we attended the Skinnie Winnies rally
held in Freeport, FL. We had around 40
rigs in attendance. Lots of activities with everyone checking out the latest modifications that everyone
has made to their rigs. We ranked last
in that department. It was five days of social gatherings with folks we had not
seen in a year. With so many people, it
was a challenge to get everyone with their pets organized for the group photo.
There is a school of thought that if you ever feel
lonely in any campground, just lift up the hood of a vehicle and you will soon
have lots of new friends. This is proven
every year at this rally. We have a
number of folks who are driven to working on their rigs and enjoy helping
others with their issues. One solo lady
had all kinds of help on her rig, including changing out the serpentine
belt. In these situations, I stand back
and take pictures.
With the great weather, there were some very nice
sunsets.
