The Last 2 Months In Review

The last 2 months we have been on the road quiet a bit.

The end of March we had a death in the family,

Uncle Bob pasted away and so I went to Ky. for the

Funeral. He was a dearly loved Uncle, but had

Alzheimer's the last couple of years, then he got

pneumonia and did not recover from some of the

complications from that. We miss him, but know

he is in a better place. I spent a day in the Mtns.

with my Aunt and Uncle and cousins. It was

good to get to talk with everyone and talk

about old time and all the fun we had growing

up and getting to see each other quite often. I

also got to stay a couple of days with Mom.

After leaving Mom's, I went down to Cumberland

Falls to meet John, and some friends of ours for

a weekend camping trip. The weather wasn't

the best, but wasn't as bad as we thought it was

going to be. It was cool.

We hiked most every day. Went down to the

Falls, and a couple of other small falls.

After leaving there I headed home and was home

for a couple of weeks. Then when John came home

the week before Easter I went back with him to

Chicago.

The weekend of Easter was a long one, as we

headed to Dayton to work on a bathroom at

the Whitewood house. We pulled out the tile

and put up new drywall and tub surround.

We also painted the room. That was all done

on Sat. Then we headed down to Cincinnati,

to John's parents.

We had Easter with the family and friends of

the family, which is done every Easter and

Fourth of July. There is always a house full.

Although not all were able to come.

Then on Monday we were off to D.C.,

John had a Conference for a couple of days.

This was the time that the tornado's hit

alot of the Southern States.

After leaving D.C. we headed toward home,

South Carolina. We made a stop in Va. to

see Chrissy, Jacob, and Elijah. Want to see

Jacob before he left on his deployment.

We hope he has safety on his way, We

love you. After getting home and getting

our mail, we rested for a couple of hours

then it was off to Destin.

We got to the condo at around 10pm.

We did a little painting and carpet cleaning

there, but did manage to get to the beach a

few times.

After leaving Destin to head back to Chicago,

we stopped by to see John III. We had a nice

dinner with him, then back onto the road. Made it

back around 10:30 am.

On Mother's Day we went up to Tara and James

house. We had a nice time with Tara as James

had taken Bethannie and James to see the Reds

play the Cubs. Thanks Tara for the Dinner and gifts.

We love you and hope to see you more since you

are so close.

The Thursday after Mother's Day we started

home. We stopped in Lexington to see

Jennifer, Autumn, Jake, and Bryson. We didn't

get there till after 9pm, but had a good visit. It was
Jennifer's birthday and Autumn's had just past on

Tuesday, so we stopped and got a DQ cake and

filled everyone up on sugar before bed.

Then it was back on the road at around midnight.

We made it home at around 8:30 am Friday.

Kristy, Travis, and Braeden stopped by and spent

the night on there way back from Disney. We had a

nice visit with them. John and Braeden took a hike as
Braeden said that evening, then we built a fire

in the fireplace on the back porch and just

visited. Then it was down to the basement to

play air hockey and pool. then while we all were

getting ready for bed, Braeden and Grandpappy

got out the star wars figures and played on the

bed for a little while.

While we didn't get to see John William he did call on
Monday after everyone was gone and we got to
talk for about a hour and a half.

It was so good to get to see and/or talk to everyone.

We love you all and miss seeing you.

So that was our travels of the last couple of months.

Now it's home for about a month before I head

out to Girls Camp with the Church. Oh, we might get

to get a weekend camping trip in also, it will be one

close to home though.
