My Babies Have Arrived, Now We Can Cruise!
My sleep schedule is so goofy since we got here! I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night and struggling for half an hour to an hour to get back to sleep and then waking up much too early for my liking. This morning I was awake at 4:47 am and finally crawled … Continue reading

Charleston, Kelley’s, a Dike, Movies and Errands
I guess I’m in vacation mode cuz I completely forgot to make a blog post! Tuesday was our last day with Jay and Stella as they left on Wednesday to go to a Texas Boomers rally in Boerne. They arrive about 11:30 am. We’d made plans to check out one of the Heartland coaches here … Continue reading

Galveston, Oh Galveston
Monday, May 18th We walked up to the office about 9:00 am to pay for our 2 week and 1 day stay. When I made my reservation I was told we’d be in site 118 but it was full when we arrived so we went to the next closest open site, which was 114. We … Continue reading

Ginger, Washer Error & Final Luncheon
While I was at the shack Monday afternoon the skies got dark, the wind picked up and the air cooled off…not a good sign. A few hours later the rain came…just as the ‘big wigs’ that were on-site visiting decided to leave. It wasn’t just misting a little…it was out right pouring. Since we are … Continue reading

Prep Work, Peacocks, Burnt Dinner, New Well & Mother’s Day
We are getting down to our final days in the oil patch! Just 5 more mornings of listening to the alarm go off at 5:00 am. Each day this week that each of us are off we have a list of items we want to get accomplished before we leave the oil patch. Hopefully things … Continue reading

The ‘Itch’ Is On!
We’re just plugging along. Michael’s been doing the majority of the time at the shack but I’ve been trying to give him time off 2 or 3 days a week. They are still trying to finish up on the 2nd well but seem to have a road block every time they turn around. Hopefully by … Continue reading
