This trip started on 'Mothers Day'( I did treat Barb to an out of state lunch), heading to a 'Retiree Rally' in Winfield, KS. Spent a week there, before traveling to Topeka for a short visit with friends.

Stopped off in Des Moines for couple of days, then on to the Amana colonies, where Barb 'stocked up' on various items.(Bread-butter-meat- etc)

We finally made it to Michigan on the 22nd of May. We were blessed again this year with having all three grandsons with us for a week.

Between the 2 grandsons here in Michigan, we're on the go about 4 nights a week, ballgames, concerts, etc., wouldn't have it any other way

Our plans, always written in pencil, are to leave here the 22nd, headed home, by way of Paducah, KY to another archery shoot, where we'll watch LaDonna, Kurt and Justin.

Long Overdue Update...............






We left home February 13, 10" snow still on the ground, headed to the "Daytona 500".
We went to the race, (never sat that close to the track) then decided to go to the Kennedy Space Center.
Never thought about the Shuttle launch that week. Had trouble finding campground, Barb got lucky with a cancellation, and we took a week at a RV Park near Titusvile, FL. We got to see the launch of the Discovery from our campground.
From there, traveled to Punta Gorda to visit friends, back along the Gulf coast to Louisiana. Worked in TX at a RV club board meeting, then on to a 'Retiree' camp out in Canton, TX.
Stopped on the way home to watch LaDonna/Kurt (Daughter/Son-in-Law) shoot in an archery competition in Paris, TX
Got home April 3.
