Well I have finally figured out how to edit and update my blog. It won't be real pretty for a while but as I become more familiar with it I may add some bells and whistles.
We are staying in Selma, North Carolina and waiting for the hurricane to make up it's mind. The plan is to continue on towards Florida Monday going as far as Georgia. Time will tell.
We have been here two days and have eaten at Cracker Barrel twice. This is our first time with C.B. and it's great. Went to a tabbaco museum today and also Ava Gardner's museum. Went to a Smithfield Ham place here too. This campsite is near Smithfield. Went to the local golf course to hit a bucket of balls but they said I needed a shirt with a collar on it. Hotsey Totsey!!!! Will get dressed up tomorrow and take some pictures to put on this Blog.
10/22/05 Saturday
We ate at Ruby Tuesdays this morning then Laurie got her hair cut. We then went to the Old Grist Mill. The owner Ray gave us a 2 hour tour. They actually have 3 old stone grinders that were water powered, now use electricity, that produce 250 lb of meal each an hour. Next we went to JR'S Mall. They allow smoking in the stores here..Tabacco is loved in N.Carolina!!
We then ate at Bob Evans restaraunt and went to the Carolina Pottery store. This store is the size of Costco and full of all kinds of stuff..Holiday decorations, glass and carpet stuffetc. We are going back tomorrow as Laurie has several items picked out and we only did about a quarter of the store.
10/23/05 Sunday
Batted balls at the Golf course today. Or hit the balls as Laurie says. We wore the correct clothes!! Went to the Pottery store again and Laurie bought some stuff. Good thing Ralph is big. Then we ate at Bob Evans again...Cracker Barrel had 1/2 hour wait. Took Ralph to the truck wash yesterday. $23.50. They were having a 1/2 price sale. Gonna rain tomorrow, of course, cause it's a travel day. We are headed to Point South, South Carolina tomorrow. That's just north of Georgia. Will stay there until we see what Wilma is going to do. We can make it to Orlando in one day from there. Erica left Calif yesterday so she will probably be in Orlando tomorrow the way she drives!!! Gets it from her mother....
10/24/05 Monday
Came down I95 today to Point South, S.C. Staying at a KOA. Rained just enough to dirty up Ralph and Alice. I95 thru north and south Carolina is the best level road we've been on the whole trip and the most heavily policed. Saw at least 12 people getting tickets.
Will head to Florida tomorrow.
10/26/05 Wed
OK!!! We're starting to get comments on the blog. Mike,Chuckie and JoElaine have cracked the code.
Chuckie....Maw says only she can issue get out of jail free cards for her. Good luck!!!
Looks like the snow is starting early everywhere. We were going to take I 40 across but might drop down to I 10 if it starts snowing.
We are in Sanford, FL. 4 miles from Erica's apartment. Very nice apartment across the street from her new job. Lots of good stores all around.
Got Laurie a new laptop last night...tired of hearing "all I ever get is the old handme downs" of course that's true.
Gotta go shopping now, Laurie is having withdrawal fits.
Arch
10/31/05 Monday
Came 424 miles today from Orlando to Atlanta, GA. We Helped Erica get all set up in her new apartment...New 42" LCD TV, Couch and love seat, coffee table and end table, big dining room table w/4 chairs and a new computer desk, chair and LCD monitor. Erica is in the shopping center of the world!!! More name brand stores and restraunts than we've seen anywhere! Very rich area...Rolls Royces on down. She started her job today so she is busy I'm sure. When she manages to get her phone (another story) she will come to the blogger and fill us in.
I haven't updated due to being busy and could only get online via my cellphone in Florida. We have a wireless connection here. Somewhat faster.
We will spend tomorrow with Laurie's Aunt Julie and her husband Dave. They live on campus at the University of Georgie. The day after that we will tour Atlanta...Carter's presidental center and a few other things, maybe CNN etc. We may take a Greyline tour. The one in D.C. was great!
Talked to Betsy and Joey a few days ago while Erica and Laurie were shopping me to death. They are both doing fine...Betsy's kitten is better after the Vet corrected his work. Joey is zooming around just fine, legs working great.
We will head towards Wynne Arkansas to see Jimmy and Susie Thursday and stay there for several days. Uncle Jim had a wisdom tooth pulled and it broke off so they had to dig around. He's not feeling too good. If it wasn't for bad luck he wouldn't have any luck. Says his face is all swollen up. I don't know how you would tell that but...
Looking forward to Judy and Louise coming to Calif in Feb. to work at the AT&T.
Nanna tell Blake the AT&T is Monday Feb 6 thru Sunday Feb 12. He can contact me about when he wants to work, etc. Why don't you get them on here? We need more people writing comments in here so I don't have to work as much.
I really am trying to post some pictures. Just takes a little time. This traveling is hard work. We seldom have a day to do just nothing. Well, I don't. Laurie on the other hand HHMMMMM
We are still planning on being home by Thanksgiving. We will be in Texas for about a week to see two presidential museums.
Big Mike...Where were your Grandkids out here?
Little Mike...I didn't know Mitsubishi had a new truck. God I've been gone so long they are sneaking new cars into production!! I'm slipping. I am going to some of the car shows for sure this year...LA and San Jose are both having one.
Nicki, Emily and Emily...You're supposed to get on here and say Hi to Aunt Grammy. Ryan and Cody are excused.
Meatloaf???? Please explain...Grammy claims ignorance. Her pat answer.
Gotta go before Grammy reads this!!!!
Arch
11/1/05 Started out this morning to visit Laurie's Aunt. Got about 25 miles into the trip and the Suzuki decided to jam itself into 4 wheel drive and stay in 4 wheel drive. Not good. So after an hour of doing this and that it corrected itself and we headed back to the campground. We will get to visit Aunt Julie in April when they come to California. We did buy Laurie a new cellphone today as her's bit the dust. Fun day today! Her new phone has a camera in it. We are going to have Nikki instruct Grammy on camera usage. Where are the kids when you need them??!!
We are headed into Atlanta tomorrow to Jimmy Carter's Museum and then to CNN.
Found out the campground in Arkasaw by Uncle Jimmy has a driving range and we can rent a boat with a motor on it there also. Grammy is glad cause she's tired of oaring all the time. I'm glad too because we always go in circles when she oars. I don't know what would happen if Aunt Nanna was oaring. Could probably have a water skier behind us. Anyway.
How do you like those pictures???
Arch.....
11/2/05 Hah! It works. This is a front view of Eta's apartment. Hers' is the 2nd floor.
There are about 20 building like this in her complex.
This of course is Eta where she stood talking on her cell phone as Grammy and I unloaded the trailer. Her Mom didn't raise any dumb kids.
Ok, that's all the picutes for now. Took about 1/2 hour to get these loaded. Need to get to a faster internet place.
Went into Atlanta today to Carter's Presidential Musuem. It wasn't one of the better museums. Really enjoyed downtown Atlanta. It has some very beautiful buildings and is quite clean. Went by CNN but didn't take the tour. No parking places for openers.
Ate dinner at Cici's. It's a chain of pizza stores in the south. $4.99 all you can eat pizza/salad/dessert/drinks. Very good food for the price.
Tomorrow (Thursday) we are headed up interstate 75 to Nashville, TN. Will stay there a day and see the Grand Ole Opera and then head to Jim's.
Arch
11/3/05
Erica's kitchen. The doorway at the end is a little room for the washer and dryer. She will rent them from the apartment complex for now till she buys a house. That way she won't have to move them to the new place.
Talked to yesterday and the new job is going great. She will be on the internet soon when things slow down a little.
This is the view out of Erica's bedroom window. That lake is BIG and you can have a boat and fish in it. If alligators show up the apartment complex has somebody come and take them away. Those are boats on a rack there that belong to people who live there.
This is the new 42" LCD monitor. Notice I said monitor. Means if you want to watch TV you have to provide a tuner....VCR or set top box from cable company. No tuner built into the monitor. Oh did you want a tuner in the monitor? That $200 more. The good news is you can hook your computer to it. Makes for a very nice computer monitor!!!
This shot is taken from the front balcony. There is tons of parking so that's not a problem.
11/4/05 Went from Nashville, TN to Wynne, Ar today. We are staying in a very nice state campground with full hookups. Very unusual for a state campground. Our site is completely secluded. Had a lot of wind that blew Ralph around a little. I don't like driving in the wind very much.
Yesterday we went to the Grand ole Operey hotel and convention center in Nashville. They have 5 1/2 acres inside the hotel full of trees, plants, waterfalls and even a boat ride. spent 4 hours in there just wandering around. Would like to go there some time and get a room.
Joe and Carmen stayed there for 5 days during an airshow convention. There are still signs posted in the gardens saying: "If you see Carmen Johnson please take her to the lobby. Her husband is looking for her."
Had Pizza dinner with Jim, Susie, Josh (Sammy's new husband) Carrie and her husband J.R. in Wynne. Sammy was at work so we ate her share of the pizza.
11/5/05 Had a real nice BBQ at Jim and Suzy's. Jim did his ribs and pork loin. Everybody else brought "good fixens" .
11/7/05 Went from Wynne, AR to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma today on Interstate 40. About 400 miles. Good weather 80's and no wind until about 1 hour from Oaklahoma city. This campsite has free wireless and an indoor heated pool. Our cellphones have good signal here too so we will stay here at least two days. Besides there's a Camping World around the corner.
11/8/05 Just lost about 50 lines of the update to this blog when I went to post it. Lost on the internet. I just LOVE computers!!!!
Bill...We were in the Trumen Presidential Museum at the exact same time as Laurie's brothers family was there. We didn't know it until two days later where we met for a family reunion in Branson, Missouri...
We now have an XM radio in Ralph. So far we like the Oldies Country music the best.
We are headed for Amarillo, Texas Wed the 9th. About 250 miles on Interstate 40. They have about a dozen old Cadillacs buried !/2 down into the dirt there. Will post a picture. It's supposed to get down to 32 degrees there tomorrow. We're tired of the high 80's here. Will probably spend 2-3 days there. There is a golf course there so we will bat some balls.
Judy and Louise are coming out to visit in Feb and to work at the AT&T and see San Francisco. Hope the weather is good!!
We are planning to be home about the 19th of November or sooner. Depends on I don't know what. It's kinda nice to just wander around.
Happy birthday to Nikki!!! She's 12 Wed. OLE LADY!!!!! She's home with a cold today so I hope she's feeling better for her Birthday.
11/9/05 Got to Amarillo, Texas today. Very windy most of the way. Mike we will check out exit 204. Have been to the Crator, got that tee shirt. You say you froze your rear ends off?? Looks to me like you better go back and get another freeze job!!! LOL
We will be staying at the KOA Central in Albuquerque, New Mexico (I hate spelling these names.) tomorrow and Friday as a storm passes thru. We were going to stay here two days but the campground isn't as nice as portrayed in the Woodalls book so will move along.
JoElaine we are going to have pork and saurekraut, mashed potatoes and noodles. Then I'll clean the house. And do the laundry. Windows too!!!
We have added another animal to the group....Army the Armadillo. Did you know that only humans and Armadillos can get Leprosy? It's the State of Texas' offical mammal. We learn lots of things on our trips!
Chuckie...the tom tom navigator (we call her Gabby as she talks all the time ) is GREAT. We zoom all around in the car knowing she will get us back to the campground. It really works quite well. She will take you on shortcuts thru the woods on dirt roads if you let her as we found out in Pennsylvania!!!
11/10/05 Got to Albuquerque this afternoon (KOA Central kinda nice) about 3pm. Very little wind while driving, however we are starting to hit mountains again so Ralph has to work harder which means he drinks more. He really has a bad drinking habit. The temp was 70-80 degrees. Beat Laurie in a game of dominoes. Wasn't hard to do...like taking candy from a baby. Went for a walk and then had ham,string beans and potatoes we made in a small crock pot.
We will head for Flagstaff tomorrow (friday).
Mike, have fun in Pismo. How's the truck and fifth wheel doing? Looked any more at a place on Oregon???
11/11/05 Made it to Flagstaff Arizona today. Hit some rain and wind but it wasn't too bad. Went to the campground we had picked out of Woodalls Trip planner and guess what. Closed for the season!! Found another campground (KIt Carson Campground) just down Route 66 a 1/2 mile. The owner said it snowed here this morning. It's 37 here right now at 9:30 pm. We will stay here until Sunday or Monday and explore Flagstaff.
From here we will go to Lake Havasu, Arizona. Thats where the original London bridge is. The guy that built the city (Lake Havasu) actually bought the bridge, shipped it over here and reconstructed it. We went there 5 years ago in July on our Route 66 trip. It was 114 degrees that day so we stayed about an hour and left. It should be cooler this time I hope!!!
Back in Oklahoma city we saw about 500,000 birds migrating. I found a neat web site tonight that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about birds migrating. I'm trying to get the link into my blog but due to many technical reasons it's not happening..as usual.
here is the link: http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/othrdata/migratio/migratio.htm
again handwritten WWW.NPWRC.USGS.GOV/RESOURCE/OTHRDATA/MIGRATIO/MIGRATIO.HTM
Mike where is the training class located? A year or two ago we camped next to a couple who had a driver traing course for RV'S. Were you with us on that trip? See if they can train her to hookup and disconnect the trailer. That's where the hard part is. As soon as she's ready to drive let's take a trip to the 49er campground in Sonora. That will test her skills!!! For those of you not familiarc with that area it is a small two lane highway thru the foothills of the Sierra mountains. Very narrow at times and full of turns. The campground is "interesting" to try and park your rig. They do have a neat theatre with some nice plays there.
Chuckie I had a thought today (doesn't happen often). It would be neat to have a picture camera mounted on my dash with a remote control to click a picture quickly of what we see out the front of the coach. Example today going thru Albuquerque we went under some freeway overpasses that were very pretty. They color the concrete pinkish red and put Aztec designs in it. Another day we came around a bend and there lay a pickup truck and camper trailer upside down on the freeway. Or a sign in Arkansas for Toad Suck Park. Another sign in Idaho at a small gas station said "new toilets coming soon!" Things like this I would like to be able to just punch a button on a remote and click the picture. Wouldn't need a real fancy picture...just something to capture the moment.. Any thoughts???
11/12/05 Explored around Flagstaff Arizona today. Nice little town. Will head to Lake Havasu city, Arizona tomorrow (Sunday). It should be in the 80's. There are about 6 golf courses there. So we will probably bat some balls.
11/17/05 Got home yesterday (Wed 11/16) about 4pm. Now that I'm on a faster internet connection I will post some more pictures and info on the trip.

30 Comments:
Ok you can leave a comment here. It better be nice or you are out of the will for 30 days.
Chuckie has been out for about two weeks now for forwarding email to Grammy. Ryan is back in now. Grammy had bounced him for not giving her a kiss!
LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! This is my first time on the BLOG website and it is pretty cool! Hope all is going well and you didn't get to "meet" Wilma! Sounds as tho you're having fun! Take care and hugs to all - Love, Jo Elaine
Let's not forget I have 2 "get back in the will cards" and care to spend one now that you are both alive and well! I'd love to see some pictures. We went to Yosemite on Sat. and the Chaffee Zoo on Sunday. The kids handled two long days very well!
When you guys pull into Fresno, There will be wagers on whether you have Ralph's sides popped out due to the souvenir collection you will bring back. All I have to say is keep the economy strong, Grammy! My $ is on you!
Chuckie
My third and last try to comment. Glad all is ok and will check here often to make sure you don't run into any gas stations. Lol Erica visited us at the bowling alley last Friday night. She sure is excited about the new job. Good kid! Which way are you guys coming back? Sticking to one of the southern routes I hope. Starting to get rain and snow in the northwest already. My sister and BIL are trying to get out of southern Idaho this weekend before the snow. It's been below freezing at night up there for two weeks now. Anyway, have fun and give Erica our best when you see her.
Mike and Bobbie
Hi Again! Well, you left PA (Loganton to be more specific) just in time! We had 6 inches of very wet, very sloppy snow last night - and the roads were terrible!!! Em and the dog LOVE the snow, but Tom and I could do without it.... Love to all....
Jo Elaine
So when are you guys planing on getting home? I think that is the $25,000 question!! :-) Glad to hear you are having a good time though. Eta came and stayed in Clovis (Along with Kim & Chuckie and the gang) Friday, went to dinner and all that. She is definately looking forward to Florida. Don't know why anyone would want to live in HURRICANE ALLEY! But whatever floats her boat! Weather in good ol CA is sunny and mild, however we had some nasty thunderstorms Monday night!
Well, have a safe trip home, we will see you when you get back!
Love-
Michelle
Michael says you have to come home soon so Grampy and him can go drive the new Mitsubishi truck...
Michelle
Glad to find out the old folks didnt lose their way and got around Wilma...
Enjoyed your visit to Watsontown. Connie is waiting for you to visit her, I told her you'd be there next week!!
Love ya...Judy, Louise & Iris

Hope all is well...I couldn't help but laugh tonight. The KCBA news found a new phenomenon...Meatloaf...This is exactly what Grammy determined to be my infraction of her penal code. It's not SPAM but it's the jokes, forwards, etc. on email. Go figure.
We hope all is well!
Chuckie & Kimmy

How come everyone is writing but you two!!!! Hope that means you're having a good time and getting Erica into her new place. All is nrmal here, but nice weather for a change and Bobbie is as mean as ever. So what are you guys up to?
Mike and Bobbie
Boy my spell check sure doesn't like these word verifications-just kidding.
The grandkids (Mary and John too) are in Dacula Goergia. That's a little northeast of Atlanta. If you want to call them- 678-985-2783. Jillian is still swimming and the twins are too now. (Lindsey and Rebecca). Have fun.
Mike and Bobbie
Now you see why I need spell check!!!
Mike
meatloaf is like spam but it is all the kind of email forwards that your friends and family send you that you don't want, ie: jokes, cute stories, etc.
Hi Guys!
Glad to hear that Erica got all set up in her new apartment! I hope she's getting ready for all the company she's going to have!!! It's been so much fun reading all the messages on here. I wanted Emilee to get on here and post a message to you, but my computer at home picked up a TROJAN.VUNDO virus somewhere and I had to rush it to the emergency room for antibiotics!!! As soon as we get it home, I'll have Em write to you. Enjoy the rest of your trip, and if you're gonna be home by Thanksgiving - well let's just say I think you're going to be late!!! Love - Jo Elaine
What pictures???????
Very nice pics! Looks like a nice place Eta! You gonna go to a show at the Grand Ol Opry? I think they do them Saturdays and Tuesdays... I get them live on my Sirius satelite radio!!! Haha. Well, Michael and I are going to Vegas (hopefully) at the end of February with his sister and a friend of hers, so if anyone wants to go too, let me know and I can give you the details! Under $500 for 2 people to fly from Fresno with 2 nights at the Monte Carlo! Very awesome. So anyways, thought we'd at least mention it. Have a safe journey!
Arch & Laurie,
Glad you are both having so much fun. Judy and I did the CNN tour and underground Atlanta. It's a neat city! We just got back from 4 days in Jersey, just north of AC. Won a $103 bucks on the nickel slots. Whew, big spender! Judy didn't fare as well. Played a round of golf; 73 degrees Oct.31st.
My kind of weather. TRAVEL SAFE.
See you both in February, CAN'T WAIT.
Louise and Judy
Tuesday, Nov 8
Hello,
I wonder how many of us were in Atlanta at the same time?!? I was at Georgia Tech all week last week for a Logistics class. Weird.
Bill
P.S. -- I hope everyone remembered to vote today. :-)
Hey guys, What's your thoughts on the Tom Tom navigation system?
Glad you guys are still having a good time. Don't know how Lauri does it-putting up with you for so long at one time. She must take out her frustrations via shopping. Lol If you stay on I-40, say hello for us just past exit 204 outside of Flagstaff. Thats where we left a little paint on the right side guardrail. Still don't like that place but there is a neat place to see at exit 233. It's called Meteor Crater and is well worth a stop. There is a RV park there too just after you get off of I-40. We froze our butts off there in Jan. but the crater is well worth a visit. The KOA in Flagg is nice too but I know how you like KOAs. Lol
Mike and Bobbie
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIKKI!!!! Hope you are feeling better!!
Hi wandering Hoagland's! Finally got my computer out of sick bay... I tried to get Em to post a comment, but she is busy watching some stupid show on TV! It sounds like you're still having a good time, but I am sure you'll both be glad to get home. We think about you every day and wonder where you are and what you're eating!!! Uncle Arch, what are you going to do when you get home and you actually have to cook (since you've made it clear that you do all the cooking and the housework!! Yeah right!) We know Laurie spoils you just like the rest of the family!!! I have to get Mom over here so she can look at these pictures and read about all your adventures. I was trying to figure out how I could print all of this out so I could take it over to her, but I'm not real computer savvy! You guys take care and keep updating us about your travels. Hugs and Kisses, Jo Elaine
Of course you've seen the crater. You guys have been everywhere! We've stayed in two different KOAs in ALBQ (as they used to call it in the telephone company). Neither is great but OK. The one just of I-40 east of town is the worst of the two. The other one is just off I-25 and a little north of 40. I assume that would be called central or whatever. It's hard to get to but the better one of the two. It's near the fields where they have the hot air ballon festival. You'll feel right at home Arch. Lol Bobbie said she thinks there is a third one west of town but you know her direction capabilities. That one could be in Flagstaff. Lolol Been raining a little here but supposed to be nice this weekend. Going to Pismo for 4 days to meet up with my sister Carol and BIL Ron from Idaho. Have fun.
Mike and Bobbie
The truck and 5er are doing fine. Got the 5er brakes checked and adjusted and bearings packed by Rogers in Fremont. Not much wear at all. However, I did have to buy a new pair of shoe soles after that 6%/7 mile downgrade up in Idaho last summer. Maybe that explains no wear on the 5er. Will be at the beach tomorrow. Yippeee
Maybe I'll take Bobbie along and smoke test the fire alarms by having her cook. Guess y'all (speaking Fresnoish now)will be through Flag by the time you read this. That's the best thing to be in Flagstaff-through it.
Anyhow, enjoy yourself and watch out for the idiots out on the road this weekend. A lot of them are off work for Vet's day today and since the gas prices are down a few pennies, they are probably out crashing into things.
Before I forget, I have Bobbie enrolled in a driver training course for trailer towing. Can you believe that? She told me she wouldn't ever learn to tow unless she went to a formal school 'cause she thought I would yell at her too much if I taught her. Can't imagine what she means by that but I called her bluff and enrolled her for 11/30 and 12/1. So, be sure to stay off of the Calif. roads during that time. Lol
Mike
Arch-We're actually going down to Yucca Valley to meet up with the instructor on our way to Las Vegas. It's on the way because we'll be in San Diego just before that.
Oh yeah, I forgot-that KOA is closed during the winter. Thats the same one we had the trailer parked in after our J-knife accident. We didn't look around much because of the heavy snow while we were there even though the Grand Canyon is close by. If you need a good body shop, trailer repair place or RV store while there call me. Other than that we did manage to find a Cracker Barrel. It's on the north side if I-40 along a frontage road. By the way, if there is going to be a lot of snow while you're there, you might think about going south to I-10. They don't know what to do when there is a lot of snow at one time in Flagstaff.
Got to get to bed-getting up early to go to Pismo.
Mike
OK, so I am in my new apartment. All settled in and just got DSL WOO HOO!!!! now i am on the internet. i have the windows open cuz it is a brisk 70 outside with a nice breeze going through :). I will try to figure out how to post a couple pictures of my place now that it has furniture.
Love you all
Erica
PS, i made sure to get a 2 bedroom apartmetn for now until i buy my house. I am only 20 minutes aways from Disney. YA BABY!!!!
www.stickypod.com ...I just read about it yesterday....There are some other window mount but I don't know if they would work on Ralph
Pismo area was great. Weather in 70s and low 80s. Clear with cool breezes and didn't even need a sweater in the evenings. Had a good time. Where are you now????
Mike and Bobbie
Glad to hear that you made it home safe! Well, is the pork and sauerkraut in the crock pot? Are the windows and the house getting cleaned today? Is the laundry all done yet???? I know that Laurie is probably resting while you take care of all the "domestic" chores!!! YEAH RIGHT!!!
Chris made a flying trip to the ER with Mom on Tuesday (11/15). Her tongue was swollen of all things!! They put her on an IV and started pumping benadryl into her - and prednizone (spelling???). They have no idea wha6t caused it. She is doing much better now. She's had alot of pain in her right wrist and ankle. (Had her using her walker again over last weekend.) We had her talked into going for another cortizone shot, but her rheumatologist is on vaca. this week. Hopefully we can get her there on Monday. Besides all that everyone is doing well. We finally had to break down and start a fire in the woodstove this week. Temp.'s are to be below freezing at night from now through whenever... Happy Winter! Well, I'm at work, so I'd better sign off. You take care and we'll all be waiting for the new pictures!
Love, Jo Elaine
