We are going to take our new little travel trailer out to a local lake on Sat/Sun. It's only about 20 miles from our house, so my daughter told me it is not like real camping! I just want to make sure that everything works, and figure out what needs to be fixed/adjusted (there's always something, it seems) before we take off for Arkansas in the middle of July.

This is the last weekend before we go to Arkansas that we will be able to take it out for a test run. My mom is having her knee replaced next Thursday, so I will be on hospital duty next weekend. Then, the weekend after next weekend is the weekend before we will be leaving and I don't want to wait that long to find out if something needs to be fixed.

So, this weekend it is - it is waaaay to hot to be camping in Texas right now - but as I said, this is just a "test camp". We'll set up the TV, probably even the satelite and just vegetate inside.

Are you sleeping over? I hope you have a good time and stay cool.

I just had Marcia here to clean, and then I'm probably going over to Jessie's to wish Steve a Happy Fathers' Day.

It's finally not raining here! WAHOO

Ricky made it home, but I only got to spend a couple hours with him before he had to go to work. Then he had to work today also. Sucks....

So today I did all the laundry they brought home...how fun is that..lol.

Sometime next week, I want to take Lynne to Lafayette. She needs some really good scissors for grooming her dogs and then I have a gift card for the Olive Garden...yummy! Hope she'll feel good enough to go.

I had a bbq today for about 20 people.. It was raining all weekend but it cleared up this afternoon and gave us enough time to bbq and eat outside. Then it came down in buckets so we had coffee and deserts inside.... Not a bad day after all.

We ended up "camping" in the driveway. Gary has hives and has to get in the bathtub with an oatmeal bath to get them under control. The trailer only has a shower, so we decided we should just stay here. I've spent much of the weekend in the trailer or in Walmart, getting things for the trailer.

We went to my daughter's tonight for dinner. MMMMMMM..roast, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, gravy and homemade bread!!! WOW - SO GOOD!!!

I'm so glad the bbq turned out well and that the weather cooperated for the most part. What was on the menu?

The three daughters came to visit Hubby yesterday, but Jeff didn't come down. It was a good, but HOT day!
