Hi, Everybody!!!

[Janet]

Glad to hear that Gina. Glad that Marilyn posted to and got us caught up.

It's so hard to find time for everything. This weekend I "farmed" for real. Tried to get some vegetables planted in containers to see if it will work better than last year. I got a couple of those Topsey Tirvey tomato planters and have them setup and hopefully growing. It's a little late to start a spring garden here. Should have planted some of the items in February, but don't have much invested if it doesn't work out.

It's really good to be back on here. I'll try to be more faithful!!

Hi Marilyn.... nice to hear all is well with you and your family. I agree it is very hard at times to find spare time to keep up with everything, but glad everything is going well, and for the family too.

[Marilyn]

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers for us and especially for our SIL. We're pretty anxious for him to get back to the states. Hopefully in November!!!

I bought my plane ticket today to fly out to California and help Karen get everything situated and drive back with her and her yorkie, Chase, for the summer. We have to move the truck and RV to a friends place who will be storing it for her for the summer. I hope we can manage a 36' 5th wheel. Rex thinks we can do it, and the last time Karen had to switch spots in the RV park, without Carlton there, the guy who helped her had her hitch it up with his supervision and do some of the driving so she could get the feel of it.

This will be some experience for us though. We'll just have to take it slow. She said the turns we have to make are nice big clear intersections. We'll be doing this on May 28th. A few extra prayers that day couldn't hurt. Biting nails already!!!

I told a friend about the move, and she said we should make a sign for the back of the trailer, "STUDENT DRIVER". That may not be a bad idea!!

Wow Marilyn...that's a pretty big rv to tackle but I'm sure you girls will be just fine. Like ya said..take it slow. If the turns are nice and wide, she shouldn't have a problem. Hopefully there won't be alot of traffic where you are going that day. I personally think that a sign like that is a very good idea.

I will say a prayer for you girls. Be safe and check in as soon as you can.

Wow....that's scary to think of hitching up a fifth wheel and driving it somewhere by yourself!!! Does the "friend" know how to do that sort of thing? I'll be praying that all goes well for you!!! Give us a reminder when it's coming up.

[Janet]

I know you two will be able to do it. If I can pull 52-72 foot trailers and back them up to a dock to be loaded you all will be just fine. I did this when I worked at Frito Lay. The two of you will certainly have an adventure.
