Finished projects, cleaning out

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Karen

Today was all about visiting. After a later-than-usual breakfast, we went to visit Marion. We had a chance to visit with her all to ourselves, since she was the reason for this trip. For lunch, we went to Taco Time … Continue reading →

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Karen

Paul has been unable to get a good wi-fi signal from the desktop. He noticed that he had good service 15 feet forward in the “front room” area of the motorhome, so this morning we pulled up the jacks, let … Continue reading →
