Happy Birthday Bob!!!

Larry and I are volunteering at Harmonie State Park for the next couple of weeks if anyone is out this way stop in and visit us!!

This past weekend I had my Family Reunion and all of my siblings were able to attend. Hooray!!  It was great to see everybody and their families.  My son Jason also came for the whole weekend.  I had a great time and was sorry to see it end.

Many of my nieces and nephews now have children and I really appreciate the effort and time they take out of their busy schedules to attend.  I absolutely love seeing these young nieces and nephews!

Here are a couple of boys - Paxton and James.



We also took a side trip to the Exotic Feline Sanctuary near Centerpoint, IN.  We were able to see tigers, lions, cougars and bob cats up close.  These are animals that have been rescued for various reason.  If you are in the area stop by and for $10.00 get a tour.  Our tour lasted about an hour and a half.  The day we went it was very hot and the animals were not real active, but it was still good.

Back Camping Again!!

Sorry I have been off so long, we had to attend to our bricks and sticks.  That is right, we still have not sold our house.  If all of you will add the selling of house to your pray list maybe that will help!

We are camp hosting out at Harmonie State Park this weekend.  This means we do light cleaning in two of the bath houses and check on them once or twice day to refill the toilet paper, etc.  This is not a gross as I thought it would be as the bath house really stay pretty clean.  And in return we get to camp free!

I have been sick since Friday.  Friday I came down with a fever and ached all over and my throat felt terrible.  I called the doctors office and luckily they called in antibiotic for me.  I still have a terrible sore throat and may have to see the doctor.

Larry and I found an indigo bunting (a small almost iridescent blue bird).  It did not appear to be hurt,but it did not fly away and seemed to be panting.  Larry was able to get to perch on a small stick and I told him to place it the fork of a near by tree.  Thinking that at least it would off the ground and a little more protected for animals.  Here are a few pictures:

Quick Trip to Florida

We just got back from a quick trip to Florida.  Larry's daughter is moving from Florida to near Hoover, Alabama and needed our help to stay with the kids.  We flew in on Thursday and flew back home Sunday.  It was good to see the sun again!  The grandkids were good and no trouble at all.  I got in the pool and floated in the sun Friday and Saturday. It was grand!  And when we got back to Indiana, surprise, the sun was shining!

Sorry, I have neglected my blog.  We have made it back to Eville a couple of weeks ago and nothing is happening.  We are "camping" at our house on the pad in the back yard.  We have full hook up and we use the house to wash the clothes.

We have met with the Realtors and they have made several suggestion to update our house.  So we have had the interior painted and are pricing out some inexpensive carpeting to replace the blue carpet.  Larry hung a fan/light in the living room and we are making a few other small changes.  Everyone say a little pray that the house sells this spring, please.

Last night was dance night.  This was our last dance this season.  The band was pretty bad, but we stayed because we wanted to share it with our friends.  Maybe because of this or because I drank a coke instead of starting on the wine when Larry did, but Larry got a little buzzed.  Since we live about 50ft from the hall this was not really a concern.  I told him I could guide him home.  Larry loves to dance and is a natural, but Saturday he lost a little of his inhibitions.  He was moving and dancing  and looking sexy and believe me the ladies noticed.  Judy who was sitting at the next table ask me if we had taken dance lesson and how long had we had been married.  Then she told me she was jealous of me.  Another lady came up to Larry when he was sitting down and leaned over and told Larry we were the best dancers there. I told him when we got home that women were lusting over him.  He was embrassed and really doesn't believe it, but it's true.

This is our last week here.  Friday we start our journey back to Evansville.  We will make several stops on the way home.  I have mixed emotions about leaving.  I will glad to see my family and friends again, especially Mady and it is getting very hot down here.  But I will miss all the people and all the activties.

O well, on to new adventures!

Ernie

 Yesterday we went to the Arnold Palmer Invitational Golf Tournament.  It is a beautiful course and there were not many people there.  It was a practice day for the pros and it was kind of hit and miss as to who we got to see.  The pros we did see, we were able to get pretty close to.  We saw Ernie Els, Zach Johnson and Jim Furyk.  Lots of new young players. We left about 30 minutes to soon because we heard on the news that evening that Tiger showed up and played the back nine.  Oh well!

Oh and VeeJay Sing!
