On the Road again to Illinois

My sister Connie flew from Seattle to Dallas and rode in the motor home with us to Rushville to see our Mother and step-dad, Lyle. We have a Verizon internet card and we can get online as we go down the road.  Connie is ready to go RVing.  





We routed our trip through Arkansas and Missouri. We called our good RV'ing friends who live in Arkansas and they were camp hosts at Lake Catherine State Park, south of Hot Springs, Arkansas and only 12 miles off of the interstate. We stopped there for the night and set up camp. AW and Mike are have a relaxing chat! If RV'ing was easy, everyone would do it!




As always, RV'ers can whip up a meal in minutes.  We had hot dogs that Mike cooked on the grill, Jolly brought over some food and instant party.  Jolly made the best pickles.  You slice up a gallon jar of dill pickles, and layer them with 4 cups of sugar.  Add a botter of hot peppers, and shake until the sugar is dissolved.  You let them soak until they are as hot as you want them. 


We played cards until bed time.  AW's favorite is saying, "Let's go to bed, so these people can go home!"

We left our motor home at Grand Lake and spent a few days at Pat and Mike's home in Broken Arrow.  Astrid caught a ride with Michelle's in-laws, Mark and Cheryl, who also have an RV.  They were visiting Scott and Michelle and was passing our way on their way to Branson for a Rally.  Pat and Mike's granddaughter, Madison, is Astrid's age and they had a lot of fun.  They put miles on a little scooter. And had a sleep over.

We made a side trip to Mt. Airy, North Carolina.  This is where Andy Griffith was born and the Andy Griffith Show was fashioned after this town.  We toured the Andy Griffith Museum.  It was a trip down memory lane.  It was amazing how much we remembered form those shows. It was a fun stop and recommend for you to stop by if you are in the area! We went up one side and down the other side of Main Street and ate at Barney's. Floyds Barber Shop was closed....
