Air Show

Hello everyone, We are at MacDill Airforce Base Famcamp for a few days.



This weekend they are having a air show with the Blue Angels. This will be my first time watching them perform, so I am very excited.



We are right across the street from the office. And beside the office, on a light pole is a nest with 2 Osprey and their babies.



I sit at my window in the morning and watch him or her go out and find food. Here is today's catch.



Of course, I am a animal lover and enjoy watching all their antics and whenever someone comes near they start giving them a warning not to come any closer. Have seen them kind of swoop down with another warning.
I keep telling Leo what a lucky bird he is, he doesn't have to go out looking for his next meal and he has a warm place to sleep.


We are enjoying out stay here, while we wait for Lazy Days to finish with the Santara. They have had it 2 months. Should be ready next week and then we have to decide what to do with it.

We have drove around the adjoining parks looking for some shells and at one park we saw a woman pulled along the side of the road and she was feeding the Racoons. I don't think this is a very thing to be doing.




Will post more pictures later and everyone have fun and be safe.

Waiting

Hello everyone.
We are at Sumter Oaks in Bushnell Fla. Still waiting on Lazy Days to finsih with the Santara. And then we will have to make a decision on what to do with it.
Here are a few pictures of the inside of our new to us Motor Home.
These are before we put our stuff inside. Don't have any yet of the inside since we have moved in.




We are loving it. Finally found room for everything that we decided to keep. Spent some more time organizing everything inside and Joe is still working on the compartments on the outside. I love all the wood work inside. No more painted woodwork. I can finally use Lemon oil on the cabinets, instead of putting another layer of paint on them.
Joe spent a few of our nice days, polishing on the outside. While I worked on the inside. Pulled all the filters in the ceiling and all the fan filters and cleaned them.
On another note, our girl Jaelynn was in a beauty contest. She won her age group. Also prettiest eyes, most photgenic and of course prettiest hair. She won a trip to state in May. Corey and Jennifer are not into the pagaent circuit but it is fun for now. She was not in a good mood, so since she loves the Wizard of Oz so much, he decided to have her start singing. Somewhere over the rainbow and to start marching. That always cheers her up, and everyone loved it.
She didn't wear the tipical pagaent dress. She had on her winter outfit. Hear is are some pictures.



Can you tell how proud her Nana is of her. Here is one of my favorite pictures.



Ok, I guess that is enough bragging for now. Hope everyone is staying warm and having fun. Be safe.

Update

Hope everyone had wonderful holidays. Joe and I are in Marathon Fla. We are staying a a Pass Port America park (Jolly Roger). We will be here until Wed. and then drive the rest of the way to Key West.
As some of you may already know, we bought a new to us rig. It is a 2006 Newmar Kountry Star. It has everything that we were looking for in a new rig and then some. I believe it has more than we thought about. But we are really looking forward to the upgrade.
Which will be sometime around the first of Feb. Here are a few pictures.




Congratulation's to all the others that have new homes. It is a good way to start the new year.

Looking forward to going to Key West. Hope to see the Silver man on Duval street.
Everyone take care and be safe.

Grandbaby and Balloons

Grand babies are so much fun. Our son, our daughter in law and Miss Jaelynn flew into Vegas, for a visit with us and the bright lights. What a good time we had. Visiting with each other and see the sights of Vegas. They really enjoyed the laser show on Fremont street. Love that part of Vegas. I believe Jaelynn probably has a crick in her neck from looking up so much.
We did walk the strip and she got to see some characters on the sidewalk. As you can see from this picture she is just not to sure about the blue M & M.



While we were in Vegas, we stayed at Sam's Town. Very nice Rv Park. Everything you need is there at Sams Town. They even had a shuttle to take you to the strip. There is also a free water and laser show inside of the Casino/Motel. Very cool. Of course a great time was had by all. Just look at Miss Jaelynn with Joe. He is called Daddy Joe by our grand children. He calls Jaelynn (Sweet Cheeks). She will just grin.



It turned a little chilly while they were here, but we still had a great time. Hated to see them go but it did help with me missing them. So now it is not so long till we see them again.

Today 11-14-09, in Sierra Viesta they are having the Hot Air Balloon
Festival. I was there at 7:00 am to watch them set up and launch.



While I was watching, I saw a line of people at this one balloon. So being curious I walked over to see what was going on. Well I found out they were giving free rides. So of course I got in line. They were stopping at 9:00. I got to ride at 8:55. Was the last one to get to go up, whew that was lucky. Anyway I got to ride in a balloon, it was awesome. Even if it was tethered.



This evening from 5 til 7, they are haveing the Balloon Glow and Joe and I will be going to watch that. It is not as big as the one in New Mexico but it is my first one and it is still amazing to watch the crews get everything ready and to watch the balloons take flight.
Till next time everyone have fun and be safe.

Sorry

Sorry that I have not been posting on my blog. There is no excuse. Just lazy I guess.
Just a short update about The Jones'
We are in Yuma Arizona at Kofa SKP Park. We have been going to Mexico checking out the dentists and getting our eyes checked. Joe got new glasses and I got new contacts.
Today I took Joe back to Mexico today and they pulled all of his teeth and put dentures back in. They do look good. But to me he is handsome no matter what. Now he has a prettier smile. He will like it once the feeling comes back.
Everyone take care and have fun.
