Tahlequah

Yesterday I went to the Cherokee Heritage Center to check on my geneology.  I really don't have the information I need.  However, if I can get an appointment with someone in their geneology department they might be able to help me.  

It is still HOT and HUMID.  Can't wait to get to different weather.  Good weather anyway. I am going to see a friend of mine tomorrow.  It is a little out of the way, but I have not seen her for a few years.

Still in Oklahoma

Yes, I am still in OK.  My truck is finally done and  I will get it Monday.  I am staying another week as it will be my nieces 40th birthday and my sister will be here for a visit.

Last week end we went to Grant Lake.  I had a nice time but it was HOT!!  I don't know how people deal with the humididty.  I appreciate the southwest more every day.

On the way we saw this sign and I had to take a picture.

Texas Hail Storm

I made it to my brothers and all was calm until Friday evening, then the STORM moved it.  It brought golf ball sized hail.  Needless to say I had some damage.  Broken windshield, hail pits on roof, hood, tool box etc., broken handle.  I am in Ok now and in the process of getting estimates.  No damage to my trailer as it was parked under some huge trees.  Just a lot of leaves and small branches.

Other than that it was a very nice visit.  Learned to play Mexican Train, a domino game.  It is a fun game.

I am in Ok city now to get my truck fixed and visit family.

Lubbock, Texas

I am finally on my way.  I left Santa Fe this am at 7:30, it felt good to be on the road again.  My visit in santa fe was good, I got to see a lot of my friends and catch up with them as I won't get to see them for a few years.  This was a hot trip, it was 95.  Ugh!!  I'm staying at the Elks Lodge in Lubbock, Texas for the night.  This is my first stay at a Lodge.  It is very nice and they had someone guide me as I had to back-in.  Everyone here is very nice and helpfull.  

I'm on my way to my brother Dan's in Granbury, Texas.  It will be good to see him and Jo again.  It has been to long.  I will be there for about a week.  My sister, Sheryl, and her husband will be there too.    Then on to OK to visit with my sister and her family and my Aunt Judy.  She is 86 and not doing that well.

more later.

Still in Santa

Yes, I'm still in Santa Fe,  but am leaving here Sunday the 7th.  I have been catching up with friends, and seeing the Dr, Dentists, getting new glasses, etc.  Had treadmill test Friday,  thought I was going to pass out!  I have another test Wed and will see the Dr on Friday.  

It has been cold and cloudy here,  losing the tan I got in Tucson.  Tenzin, my little sister, graduated and is now getting ready for college.  I plan on being in Ct when she gets there for school.  I am very proud of her as she got a full 4 year scholarship and is 1 of 12 in the science program at Connecticut College.

If I ever learn how to post pictures I will post one of her.

Santa Fe

Well, I finally got here Wednesday.  The RV dealer fixed my water tank problem  and several small repairs that I needed. they are so nice and do very good work.  I feel confident to continue on my trip.

Vic and Glenn set me up in the driveway and I like it better than where I was last year.  They are going to Greece for 3 weeks soon and I will housesit and watch miss Sophie.  Their Jack Russell.  She is full of energy.  The trick will be to get Billie to not freak out.  wish me luck.

I had dinner with Tenzin yesterday and she is so excited about going to college.  She got a full scholarchip to Connecticut College.  She will be in the pre-med program there.  I am very proud of her.  She is in all AP classes and has a 3.9 gpa.

So far, I have contacted most of my friends, just waiting for a few call backs.  It will be good to see everyone.

Deming NM

I arrived about 2pm on Saturday.  It was so windy.  It took me a while to set up.  Discovered that someone stole my rug from my truck bed.  Just lucky they did not get my blocks I use for my jacks.  It is very quiet and peaceful here.  The park is Hidden Valley Resort and it is a hidden valley.  I think I will like it here.
