And the............Continues

We have been here since Saturday.  Each place we stay seems to be better than the last.  Our RV is parked at the end of a finger into the lake so we are surrounded by water on three sides.  It is really beautiful and so very peaceful.  We had our first visitors this evening.  My sister and husband came for dinner.  Dinner in an RV is an experience.  Space is at a premium so I cooked everything earlier and then just had to warm up when they arrived. My sister and I are getting along pretty well.  I think we did the right thing by not staying at their house.  That might have been just too much togetherness for us.

We're heading to the Big D next.  Brother lives there and we will probably be there for a bit.  Our original plan was to head to our final destination  from Texas - but change is in the air.  I might be flying to CA from TX with hubby coming later in the RV. Our daughter and her husband have to take a trip and don't want to take the boys out of school so I will be taking care of them and then go out to PS with them and meet up with hubby.  After CA we will head back to AZ to become residents of that state, I think.

Considering the tight quarters and all that togetherness (1400 miles and 4 weeks on the road) we are getting along better than ever and having a blast.(whoda thunk)   It is great not having any time constraints and just the usual day to day annoyances that crop up.

My hubby's new thing is to get in as many swats as possible while we are out in public.  Just knowing there isn't anyone we are ever going to see again makes him "slap happy". Another new thing is gas stations are our new best friends.  They are so very happy to see us drop by.  As the tank gets filled the checkbook gets depleted but our traveling road show keeps on truckin'.

Just finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey.  I happened to catch the Today show one day while they were doing a piece on the book.  Florida Dom mentioned it on his site also a few days ago. Ordered the Kindle version from Amazon and oooooooooooohhh  has it kept me tuned in and turned on. Hubby and I are both reaping the benefits - an "educational" read.

That's it for now.  See You Later.

    That sounds very pretty! I love camping right by the water. Thanks for continuing to share your travels with us. Makes me smile every time you put a post up.

    Now the swats in public...that's just funny! He's right, you'll never see these people again.

      I saw your comment. I think the first book was the best but it could be because you weren't expecting most of it. 2 and 3 are still better than most though. Glad you enjoyed.

      Don't know why but google chrome is giving me a hard time replying to your comment.

      I tried to tell you that yes we will have great memories if only we can remember them.

      Hope you enjoy the book.

    Sitting here in the office with a cuppa sighing. I wish I was there. Thanks for sharing your travels with us I really do love to hearing about them.

    I was going to down load the book but it initially didn't have very good reviews. Must take another look.

    Love,
    Ronnie

      Ronnie I've already finished the 1st book and like Sunnygirl says, I thought it very hot and steamy, so much so that I've downloaded books 2 and 3. I would imagine it's not to everyone's tastes but it did it for me :)

    I'm happy to share. I really am enjoying the travels.

    Depending on who critiqued the book I am sure it didn't get rave reviews. It is by no means a Pulitzer Prize winner but it is steamy.

    Nice to read that someone else enjoyed the book! I've been reading not so great reviews and I started wondering what's wrong with me because I absolutely love it. And I love me some Christian Grey. :) Did you read/enjoy the second and third one?

      I think the first one was the best, but that is usually the case. I did enjoy both of them though and went through them just as quickly.
