"The car will still run if you let the engine cool down"

That quote is from my dad.  Maybe someday I will let the engine cool down, but for now, I'll keep rolling.

September is Ken's birthday month and we celebrated all month!!

We took a HOT ride to Medicine Park, OK. The plan was to drive to the top of Mt. Scott to see the sunset but it was so hot even the animals were hiding out of sight.  We tried on Sunday but they closed the park due to heat.  We did get to see some beautiful places and eat some great food and hope to go back when the weather is cooler.


We got back from Medicine Park and I hit the road for Texas.  I promised Ember I would do something with her for her birthday (her birthday was in August).  She was fine with a late trip to Great Wolf Lodge.  Hard to believe this girl is 9.

Back to OKC to help Ken clean up the property where he hunts.  It is so beautiful out there.  I mowed lots of weeds while he cut branches off the deer paths.  We also did a little four wheeler riding.  I look forward to being out there when the deer come around.  I wont hunt but I will take my camera.





I had to go back and edit!
I forgot to add Bikes, Blues & BBQ!
We road to Rogers, AR and enjoyed the hospitality of Teresa & Kevin Close.
The weather was perfect, the sights were beautiful, the ride was twisty and hilly and amazing!!  








We took a side trip to Eureka Springs.  
I really would love to see this place in the fall.

One last celebration at a new to us restaurant in downtown OKC.
We headed to Bourbon Street Cafe.  Ken had the Louisiana Gumbo and I had Salmon & Crab.  The food was amazing.  I think once a month we will check out a new restaurant downtown.






So that is September.  
We had so much fun and we can't find a reason to stop so get ready for our October adventures!!

July started with a visit from Nate and Ember.  I think Ember enjoyed playing pool the most.  We look forward to having Athena join them on their next visit. It is getting HOT here so we try to ride early in the day. Took off with some friends early one Saturday. We stopped at a favorite place for food and then headed home for a few games of pool. We also did a rally with  Solo Elite Events, LLC .  They planned for short runs between stops. This group had some amazing give-a-ways and freebies.  The best part of the ride was the people we met. I took the new camera and shot over 100 photos for them.     That is our photo tour of July.   August will be busy.  We head out for a short vacation.  The rig will come back to OKC and get parked in it's new space.  I look forward to posting lots of pictures in the August Blog

  Ken got the quick intro to my family and friends. We started with my sister-in-laws.  It was nice to have Mary in from Florida. Next night was spent with my girl cousins and their spouses.  This month I said good-bye to Holiday Shores in Durand, MI.  So many years making memories with great friends.  I will still be visiting Michigan just not staying the whole summer. Ken got to meet my Blue Water RV'ers Family. This group is so much fun. The campout was at Turkeyville in Marshall, MI. Mike, the group fire starter. This is Knox.  The newest puppy in the Blue Water group. Ken had to leave Michigan early and get back to OKC.  I drove the rig and stayed at a couple new Harvest Hosts.  The first one was at the end of the Route 66 in Atlanta, IL.  I was right next to a train track but it wasn't bad.  I would come back here again. The next stop was Bold Spoon Creamery.  This place was beautiful and the hosts were amazing.  Flash, the puppy was my companion on a couple walks around

  June was filled with adventures, weddings and road trips with family. I had extra time to check out the Greenville area so I stopped by the  Garst Museum .  They have a few well know people from this area, Annie Oakley and Lowell Thomas are a couple. Click on the link to view the museums web site. I arrived back at Holiday Shores on June 11th for a short stay before the  family road trip.  The rig will stay in Michigan till August. I was in Michigan for three days.  I had time to do some shopping and have dinner with my oldest granddaughter Ella, then it was time for a family road trip to Manchester, Vermont for my nieces wedding.  The trip was great with my sister-in-law Linda and my great  nephew Camden riding along. I would like to introduce you to Kiki. No, she is not mine but I did get to  puppy set her while I was in Michigan. She is a doll! The map only shows the journey's in the RV.  The map would be a mess if I added all of my car trips.
