Our travel goals include seeing the lower 48 and hopefully Alaska and Hawaii. We also have a desire to see all the National Parks!
When I last blogged, we were headed to Amarillo to help Steve's sister celebrate her birthday. We had a nice trip - just took the pickup, the dogs and stayed in a hotel. We definitely prefer RV travel over hotels - it is just so much easier. But it is good to change things up sometimes! One thing that is better about driving the pickup versus the RV - is that you can drive the speed limit! And the speed limit in Texas is 75mph! WOW, it made the drive a lot faster.

We took Irene out to supper at Applebee's the first night and would not return there. We had the nicest waitress, but the service was extremely slow! And it was a week night - not the week-end. The next night we ate at Texas Roadhouse and it was Excellent as usual. The only downfall there is the noise level is so high. We also shared an ice cream cake! Yum!

We had a very safe trip and stopped in El Reno to see the kids and Kristi. We had pizza at her place, then she rode home with us and is borrowing my car for awhile, until her vehicle gets fixed or replaced.
On Saturday, Jan 20, 2018 - I spent a lot of time on the computer entering my continuing education credits. As a Registered Dietitian - I must obtain 75 hours of continuing ed every 5 years, so far I have 85 hours accumulated and my five years are not up until 2020. I think I have that covered.
We have a storm drain out by the street and it was full of leaves. We filled 2 contractor bags and then had to rest. We watched football and took it easy the remainder of the day. Monday brought a day of work, and Tuesday was a trip to Stillwater to the VA for a Primary Care appointment and supplies at Walmart. Wednesday - was not much. On Thursday, we went to Ponca City so that I could get a mammogram. We stopped at Smith's Furniture there and ordered us an adjustable bed - King size. We can't wait til it arrives - it also has massage. Friday brought accounting and bill paying. Saturday and Sunday we walked around the square in our small town, because the weather was favorable. It has been very cold and sometimes windy. We have not received any moisture since last fall. We are in a drought here in Oklahoma. Monday, the 29th I worked again at the hospital and talked to Mike about how much advance notice he would need when I retire. After work, Steve and I grabbed a sandwich at Subway and went to the Jr. High Basketball games here in Perry. I have two great granddaughters from my first marriage who play on the 8th grade team. They played Hennessey, and my co-worker at the hospital has a boy on their team that we also watched play after the girls' game. We enjoyed it and plan to watch them play again on Thursday.
Today was another good day. We drove to Oklahoma City and visited my sister in the nursing home and took her some goodies. Next we went to Tinker Air Force Base and bought some groceries at the commissary. We got home in time to eat at our favorite restaurant in Perry, La Macarena with Linda and Hazel! Lots of visiting when we get together. OK that is it until next time.
Don't forget: Plan for Your Vacation!
