Coffeyville Kansas/Amazon

Well here we are back at Amazon, and the nice little town of Coffeyville. Same stores to shop in, same restaurants to eat at, and we get to see all of our friends that we left here in Kansas, as well as our fellow returning Workampers. Things this year seem to be much more pleasant, even though my feet still hurt and I am not picking this year, but walking is walking, and on cement it is hard on the feet. Amazon is very busy this year, much differant from last year, they were working OT when we got here, and we have been working OT since almost the second week, thats good no complaints, we are here to make money.
Have done some visiting of local attractions, took a trip over the old Route 66 here in Kansas, and over to Missouri, down into Oklahoma. Stopped down in Miami, Ok. at the casino, or one of them, we had a good time, maybe because we both won some money, and we both kept winning, then we figured we better leave while we had money ahead in our pockets. Next trip a few weeks later was over to the town of Bartlesville Ok., stopped by first at the town of Dewey and visited the old hotel there in town and listened to the history of the hotel and took the tour as well. Sort of neat to go to these places and think, if these walls could talk! Then it was on to Bartlesville, but due to the fact we got a late start, stopped off at the Goodwill store and dropped off, and then did some shopping we did not get much site seeing done, will have to go back another time.
Our friends from South Carolina Tammy and Randy Worley came out here to Coffeyville to work as well, and it has been fun having them here, especially due to the fact they are new at this fulltime thing, and this is the furtherest they have traveled. So when we go riding the countryside we are doing it with them, and due to the fact they are from North Carolina, things, foods, etc. are very differant from what they are use to and we do get a kick out of their expressions some times. One night after work we all went to McDonald's, Tammy ordered a ham biscuit, well when she took a bite and found out it was not her "country ham", she was like "this aint no country ham biscuit", we were like you are in Kansas not North Carolina, and she was like "who ever heard of not having country ham", we have not yet let her live that one down. That is the fun of traveling, but sometimes it is also the drawbacks, more than once I have wished I could get what I can get here or there, but they don't have it here, so I will have to wait till I get back there, or stock up till I get back there again.
The sun is shinning today which is something we do not see much of these days. One of the things that I have a problem with, I do love my sunshine, does not have to be warm, but I do need to see the sunshine, or my mood is very much affected. We have dinner plans for tonight with some friends, need to get a nap before then. I am going to finally today let this blog go public, why else am I doing this, so for anyone who may read it, I am sorry just a little bit scared of letting myself out there I guess. I also know I am not a good writer, it is just not my thing. I tend to ramble on as I do when I talk as well, so please do excuse me, I am trying, till next time.
