RV Wrecks and Joint Juice . . .

Last night Nick Russell sent me this article about an RV wreck near St. Augustine, FL. In fact it was about 10 miles north of the RV park where we stayed there in June 2009.

It especially hit home when I noticed it was an American Eagle like we have, but due to the size of the logo and the engine access door, I think it’s an older model than our ‘99.  It’s amazing, considering this rig is now a pile of kindling, that the driver escaped with only minor injuries, and apparently, his wife wasn’t hurt.

On another note, Nick just can’t catch a break. He and Terry left Florida, heading west and looking for warmer weather. But I think he’s going the wrong way.

Tonight in Livingston, TX where Nick and Terry were last night, it’s going to be 42 degrees. But in Abilene, where they are tonight, it’s going to 29 degrees.

Turn back, Nick! Turn back!

This morning started about 10 am when our son Chris came over to modify a cabinet he built for our rig. By the time he was finished it was time for all of us to head up to Webster to meet the rest of the family at Cheddar’s, a local favorite family restaurant of ours.

And of course, this produced the obligatory Landon photos.

As usual, when the whole family is together, we spent a lot of time setting around just talking about family stuff.

After lunch, we all split up, with Jan and I followed Chris home so I could install the printer driver for Piper’s Christmas present laser printer.

Next it was on to Sam’s Club to pick up the Joint Juice they were out of when we were there on Friday. After that we stopped by Brandi’s to pick up some mail, and of course, Jan got in some more Landon time.

Then it was back over to Kohl’s, where with their sale and the 15% off coupon Brandi had printed out for her, Jan got about $125 worth of stuff, including a new purse, for about $50.

Finally we stopped off at Kroger’s for some groceries, and a Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbuck’s. We had thought we were going to stop by our storeroom, but decided to go on home after a busy day.

That about wraps it up for today.  More tomorrow.
