Days go rolling by

So hard to believe that we have now been away from Coffeyville/Amazon, for a month and 1 week. Where has all of the time gone. We had a really good time moving slowly south, weather was somewhat cool, and yes cold, but then it took the really cold, bitter cold, to drive us to Florida in a day. We had spent 3 days over in the Foley and Fairhope Alabama area, really a nice area, but due to the weather coming we had to finish up what we needed to get done here, and head to Florida in a hurry.

Arrived in Florida on Jan 6th, and on the 7th I was tearing the closet in the bedroom apart and getting it cleaned up and stuff gotten rid of. Since then I have made my way around the bedroom cleaning out all of the drawers, cabinets, washed the walls and cabinets down, and gotten rid of. Have almost everything done except the washing down of the walls and cabinets in the front. Will get to that hear real soon along with the fridge. The man of the house has gotten the basement cleaned out, planted some new shrubs in the yard, mulched, cleaned out the shed, washed and waxed the motor home. He too has been busy, and has even gotten in a few games of golf.

We did stop cleaning long enough to go and visit the kids and grandkids in Brevard. Had a great weekend, went to the movies to see Avatar, Roy had not been since "Good morning Vietnam", many years ago. He loved it and especially loved the new modern seating at the movies, is even now willing to go again. Our grandchildren are growning up so much, oldest grandson is almost as tall as me, and the oldest granddaughter is now taking dual enrollment and will be graduating in May from High School. So hard to believe they have gotten so big, and mature. Oh yes and my girls, well us girls had lunch together, and no one else but us. Great time, lots of laughs, and catching up on everything. Yes it was a really good weekend. Cannot wait until we go again, soon.

Vacation At Last

Well have not done anything here for some time, wonder why, sleep deprived, just maybe. But it is all behind us, and money in our pockets, or at least there was still some there. We have been doing the Casino and Restaurant tour of the South. But we have relaxed, ate, laughed, gambled, won, lost, visited with dear friends, and traveled with others. It has been a good trip. Have a few stops still to make before moving on to Florida. Looking forward to warm weather, my best friends my daughters, and of course my biggest joy in life, those grandchildren. I am getting more and more excited to see them with each passing day. The "old Man" is also enjoying himself, and when not driving he is relaxing big time.
It was sad to leave Coffeyville and all of our friends, money wise it was a very good year for Amazon as well as us, but all good things have to come to an end. But we will be back, oh yea, next year!
We are looking forward to Spring and our new job in Cody Wy, well outside of on the way to Yellowstone Green Creek Inn. Small campground and motel, we will be working with the owners and some foreign summer workers. The owners are orginally from Maryland also, then moved to Florida and her first name is Carolyn. We are very excited and soooo looking forward to it. It should be a great time.
To any and all of you who read my thoughts, thank you. Hopefully I will have lots to write about this spring and summer, as well as this winter. I am hoping to start downloading some pics to help make it a little more intresting. Before I do forget, Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we the Trout's wish each of you the very best New Year ever. Happy 2010.....
