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

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????

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.

2005-11-11T22:42:00.000-08:00

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.

2005-11-11T17:27:00.000-08:00

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

2005-11-10T07:48:00.000-08:00

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.

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

2005-11-09T10:38:00.000-08:00

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

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. :-)

Arch & Laurie,Glad you are both having so much fun...

2005-11-03T05:14:00.000-08:00

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

2005-11-02T19:45:00.000-08:00

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!

What pictures???????

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

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.

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.

2005-10-26T16:37:00.000-07:00

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
