Lexington, KY and Louisville, KY - June 6th through June 17,2011

Louisville, KY-July 6th, 2011-    We enjoyed dinner with Kelly and Jon in Louisville and arrived at Heather’s in Lexington around 8:00p.m.   We're having a great time with the grandchildren and we’re able to watch Hannah play soft ball with the traveling team.   We called Kelly and Jon and they came to Hannah’s game and afterwards we had a fish fry.    We are staying with Heather, Matt and the grandchildren until the 12th and then going to Jon and Kelly’s until the 15th. Heather and Matt had already planned their vacation in Frostburg, MD, before our plans had changed.  Heather and Mollie are coming back on Friday and we'll head back to her house to get ready to go the on the 17th.  We have a few stops on our way to Wisconsin. We sure are enjoying our time with the girls.  / Marilyn

Pictures at Lincoln NE

Back in Nebraska
Jeff and Tricias' pool and back yard very nice.  If you want to know the best place to plug in, have excellent food and dessert.  Call us!!!!  I'm sure we can hook u up!!

When we stopped in North Platte we swung by the UP shop. I had never seen it before it is very large.

Ready to hit the road again

Thanks Tricia and Jeff for a great 4th of July weekend!!!

Some of the flooding along the Missouri River

Lincoln,NE to Columbia

July 5th, 2011-    We left Tricia and Jeff’s this morning and are heading for Columbia, MO.  The weather is fabulous, 75 degrees, sunny and very few clouds.  We had a spectacular 4th of July at Jeff and Tricia’s.  It’s hard to believe we arrived on Friday afternoon and it’s already Tuesday.  We had our windshield fixed on Friday and I can once again take pictures out the front window.  We swam and barbequed Saturday, and on Sunday, Jeff and Tricia’s friends came over and we swam and barbequed again and then watched the fireworks.   As the weekend flew by we cleaned the back of the truck and sprayed all of the dust out that we had accumulated.  We repacked everything and are all set to travel on Tuesday.   It’s time to eat and Dave and Jeff are barbequing Chicken.  YUM  YUM  !!!!!  As you can tell, we never get tired of barbequing, eating or swimming.  If you could see Jeff and Tricia’s backyard you would not get tired of it either.  We watched a plane circle and then three parachuters jumped and landed at Knoll’s Golf Course, just one street over from Tricia and Jeff’s house.  The last one had an American Flag and it was awesome. 
We are staying once again at the Cottonwood RV Park.  We stopped here on our way to Alaska a few months ago.  We should be at Heather’s on Friday, if not Thursday and then onto Kelly’s.  Once again, we’d like to thank Chrissy for her help with our computer, you’re the best.  We also would like to thank Tricia and Jeff for all your hospitality.  We had an awesome time, great food, and such a relaxing time in that fabulous pool of yours.  /Marilyn

Wyoming to Nebraska

June 30 – July 4, 2011- Thursday-Monday -     We traveled across the rest of Wyoming and into Nebraska and saw a few antelope and a lot of cattle.  The sky is clear in front of us, but quite dark behind us and we’re just ahead of the rain.  We arrived in Lincoln and went straight for the glass repair shop and they put in a new windshield.  We’ll be at Tricia and Jeff’s for the weekend and enjoying the pool since the temperatures are in the 90’s. / Marilyn

Casper, Wy

June 29, 2011-Wednesday-   We left Yellowstone this morning and heading for Casper, Wy tonight.  We seen everything we wanted to in Yellowstone and heading out the East entrance toward Cody, Wy.  It’s such a beautiful drive.  We’re back in touch with the girls since our cell phones came back on after we arrived at Fishing Bridge.  Cody has grown a lot since I was there in 1966.  I could hardly recognize any of the landmarks I remembered.  We arrived in Casper, Wy around 4:45p.m.   We made it just before the storm hit.  Unsure where we’ll be tomorrow at this time, we’ll see! /Marilyn
