Last Day at Amazon & Pitch-In Dinner

Saturday, December 20, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY

 Today was Mike's last day at Amazon.  They only worked until 11:45am, but they were going to paid for a whole day.  It was a beautiful day, so they were very glad to have the afternoon off.  As a celebration and time to say "Good-bye" we decided to have a pitch-in dinner at the Green River Resort camp store.  :)

When Mike got home we started packing up the trailer, so when we return on January 3, 2015 we can get the trailer hooked up to the truck and head out on the 4th.  :)  Around 5:00pm we headed up to the camp store to have the pitch in dinner, with whoever in the campground that wanted to join us.  We had good food and great conversation.

Today is Kim's birthday, so after dinner we sang "Happy Birthday" to her and had birthday cake.

It was another wonderful day!

Brother's Restaurant

Thursday, December 18, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY

This evening we meet up with Richard, Marcella, Bruce and Margaret at Brother's Restaurant in downtown Campbellsville.  We had a really nice time!

We did ask what the numbers on the wall meant and the waitress said they came from a bourbon brewery.  It did not sound like they really meant anything.  :)
 

We found out that when we first pulled in back in October several of the other camper figured we were big executives and would not be working at Amazon.  :)  Brian Stewart, who we bought the truck from, let us know this would happen.  :)  But they found out we are not big executives and Mike did work at Amazon.  :)

It was another wonderful day!

Druther's for Breakfast

Sunday, December 14, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY

This morning we headed for Our Lady of Perpetual Help for 10:00am Mass.  After Mass we decided since Campbellsville dining hall is closed for Christmas break we would try out Druther's.  They are only open for breakfast and lunch, but the breakfast was really good.  We both had eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.  Well Mike had a biscuit.  :)

We found out that Saturday, December 20th will be Mike's last day.  I am ready to move to our new location, but it will be a couple of weeks before we actually move the rig.  We will be headed north for Christmas, then east for New Years.  Shortly after New Years we will be headed back here to pick up the rig and head for Uvalde, TX.

In the afternoon we took the big truck to fill the tanks.  It took 125 gallons.  OUCH!  I glad we don't fill that tank very often and I am also glad the price of diesel is down from earlier this year. 

It was another wonderful day!

A Week in Norfolk

Monday, December 8 through Friday, December 12 - Norfolk, VA

Well I arrived Monday morning around 3:00am.  It was a long drive and I was very tired.  As soon as I arrived I headed straight for bed.   :)  I walked Alex to school almost all week.  One day he did want his mom to take him, but he had to promise not to run.  Avander walked with us..or should I say I carried him.  As the week progressed I let Avander know he is getting too big for Grandma to carry him that far.  By the end of the week he actually walked all the to and from Alex's school.  :)

We had a really nice week and Jess was able to rest and relax.  :)  Below are a couple of great pictures I took while I was there.  :)

At one point I was trying to take a picture of Jess and Amilyne, but Alex kept getting in the way.  At first I don't think he was trying to, it was just him jumping around.  But then he realized what was happening, then there wasn't any way I was going to get a picture.  :)

I finally got a good picture.  :)

Here are a couple more nice pictures.  :)  Avander picture was not real good, but I like it all the same.

Friday night we went to Avander's Christmas program at his pre-school.  I really enjoyed the program.  All of the kids did a really great job!

Here is a video of the program.  (I never claimed to be good at taking pictures or movies.  :)  )

Avander's Chirstmas Progam

I gave Alex my phone and below are some of the pictures he took.  :)  He took over 150 pictures, some were very blurry and some were of people we don't even know.  :)  I only included 11 of the better pictures.  Alex really enjoys taking pictures!

Jess then took at picture of Alex and I.

Santa came after all of the kids finished their songs.  Avander was not happy about sitting on his lap until we got a candy cane.

They were both tired and we headed home. 

It was a wonderful week!

Christa's Baby Shower

Sunday, December 7, 2014 - Indianapolis, IN

This morning Mike went to Campbellsville University for brunch.  Margaret posted this picture on Facebook.  :)  Thanks Margaret for the picture.

This afternoon was Christa's baby shower at Mary Ann's.  They did a couple of games.  I didn't win any, but that is no surprise.  :)  Christa got a lot of clothes and other nice things for baby Caroline.

I headed for Norfolk around 3:00pm.  I was going to have a long drive ahead of me.

It was another wonderful day!

Dad's Birthday Party

Saturday, December 6, 2014 - Indianapolis, IN

I have not posted anything all week.  I don't have any excuses, just lazy, well and maybe the internet is a little slow.  :)  I could not tell you what we did all week...  Yesterday I did pick up a rental car.  I will be driving to Indianapolis for my Dad's birthday party tonight, Christa's baby shower tomorrow, then to Norfolk for the week.


This morning I needed to work a couple of hours, get a little laundry done and pack up and get ready to head to Indianapolis.  Mike had 5 hours of PTO built up and needed to take it today, so when I was just about ready to go he called to see if I wanted to meet him for lunch.  I finished packing, then headed for Long John Silver for lunch with Mike. After lunch Gracie and I headed north.

This evening we headed over to Patsy and Rick's to celebrate my Dad's birthday.  We had a really good time.  Patsy fixed meatloaf, which was very tasty.  :)  Shortly after dinner it was time to sing "Happy Birthday" and have cake and ice cream. 

It was another wonderful day!

Cabin Trail

Saturday, November 29, 2014 - Campbellsville, KY

Today I decided Gracie and I would finally hike the Cabin Trail.

It was a nice trail, even Gracie was happy about it.  :)

Then about half way through the trail we came upon a resting area.

At the bottom of the hill at the resting area, down at the lake, were these floating cabins.  I decided this is why they call it the Cabin trail.  :)

They were a lot easier to see in person.

On the Cobee Trail there was tree down across the trail.  It was very windy the other day and that is what I figure brought it down.

Today I took the direct route to the Cabin trail, so we only walked 4.5 miles. We had a really nice time.

It was another wonderful day!
