HAPPY LABOR DAY

HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYBODY!!! SO ENDS THE SUMMER OF 2011.  IT WAS A VERY TRYING SUMMER FOR THE HAPPY CAMPERS WITH THE AUGUST HEAT WAVE, BUT WE PULLED THROUGH.

WE’D NEVER MADE IT WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF THE ARIZONA ROOM / PORCH THAT WE ADDED LAST SPRING.  WE USE IT NEARLY DAILY AND WE ARE WONDERING HOW MUCH IT WILL GET USED IN THE WINTER MONTHS AHEAD.

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS A ROADTRIP HOME TO WISCONSIN WITH MARY’S HONDA.   WE WILL BE LEAVING THE MOHAVE VALLEY ON SEPTEMBER 26TH AND RETURNING ON OCTOBER 16TH.

THE FIRST STOP, NOT COUNTING MARY’S DENTIST, IS THE TORCHLITE PARADE AT OKTOBERFEST IN LA CROSSE WISCONSIN ON THURS SEPT 29.

FOLLOWING THAT WE WILL BE IN GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN TO CATCH UP WITH AS MANY RECHSTEINER’S AS WE CAN FOR THE WEEK-END.

VISITING OUR MOTHERS, IS A BIG PRIORITY OF THE TRIP ALONG WITH OTHER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.  THE SCHEDULE IS LOOSE, WEATHER DEPENDENT, AND UNDER FUNDED.

ON THE WAY BACK WEST WE NEED TO HIT SOUTH DAKOTA TO RENEW OUR DRIVER’S LIC, AND WE PLAN TO SPEND A WEEK-END WITH AMY, DANIEL, AND THE BOYS IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.  THIS YEAR OUR VISIT IN ALBUQUERQUE IS ONE WEEK LATE FOR THE GRAND BALLOON FESTIVAL, AND LAST YEAR WE WERE THERE TWO WEEKS TOO EARLY.  MAYBE NEXT YEAR, WE’LL GET IT RIGHT?

OK, ALL YOU SNOWBIRDS OUT THERE, START PACKING UP YOU RV’S AND PLANNING YOUR ROUTES.  WE WILL BE WAITING TO DEAL YOU A BALCKJACK IN THE WARM WINTER WEATHER OF LAUGHLIN, NEVADA.
