We started the new year off with a big glitch from AT & T- the house phone, internet and cell phones were not working! Anyway we survived without them for awhile. They finally started working about 3:00. But the cell phone came back to life before that. I started out the New Year playing cards with Linda, Hazel and Wayne - while Steve worked on organizing his tools in the garage. Hazel & Wayne beat us by 1 game: 5-4 in 10 point pitch. After I got home I fixed black-eyed peas and burgers for supper. On Thursday the 2nd I went to Enid and visited with my sister Pam. We ate lunch at City Sidewalk Cafe then did some shopping. Friday we looked into the RV heater and found how to get it ready for re-install. We also took some items to the dump! The icemaker in the refrigerator finally quit and so we also let the dogs ride with us to Ponca City, where we got a new one! Saturday we took down our Christmas tree and I also helped Steve clean out the ducts in the RV. Sunday we tried to finish getting the RV heater re-installed, but had a problem. We also did a little cleanup in the house and watched Football.
Monday, the 6th we went to OKC to the VA to the wound clinic to get Steve's finger checked. But by this time - I had it looking pretty good and almost healed. It is well now! We went to Camping World and checked about getting a new awning. They said come back Thursday, so a technician could look at it and make sure we are getting the correct thing. We want an awning that is electric and we currently have a manual one - so have to make sure the power one will work.

Tuesday we were at Stillwater for WW and Walmart. We also enjoyed supper at La Mac with Hazel and Linda. Wednesday we were actually able to finishing installing the RV heater and everything went pretty smooth. Thursday we drove the RV to OKC so Camping World could give us an estimate on the awning and installation. It was a beautiful day! We got home in time to take down our outside Christmas lights and also renewed the tags for the Pickup and RV. Friday was a slow day - but we did talk to Tony Powell and confirmed with him that we would return to Echo Lake this summer for our volunteer gig. Saturday brought a little snow and COLD temps-20 degrees!

We stayed inside and watched football and did accounting. Sunday was also a take it easy day along with football!
Monday the 13th we went to Stillwater VA for an appointment with Steve's primary care. All is well. We also registered for the FMCA Rally in Tucson, which takes place the latter part of March. We haven't been to one of these before - so this will be an experience! Tuesday was WW and Walmart at Stillwater.
We were ready to leave and saw all these turkeys at the house next door to us! They were just milling around in town.
When we stay home, we don't get very many clothes dirty, so instead of doing all our laundry on Monday - sometimes we just do it when necessary! We are also dealing with Tri West to schedule some more back injections for Steve. What fun! The injections helped him though, so we want to get them done again. I did a check-in with Dermatology at Stillwater on Wednesday - and that is also good. They were very efficient!
I thinks that about wraps it up for the first half of January!
