Hi Shawn,

 RH> the summer they live in a closed RV park; all the RVs are in there on
 RH> a permanent basis but it is only open spring thru fall. OTOH we take

 SH> Ours is in a park like that.  It hasn't moved since the 1970's
 SH> sometime.

OTOH, we use ours for travel--got the same kind of mattress and pillows
as on our bed at home (except the camper one is a short queen). Almost
all of the comforts of home (no dishwasher, washer/dryer) but on wheels
so we can take it with us.

 RH> our RV and travel, usually staying only a week or so with each
 RH> daughter and

 SH> Our new one will be movable.  We are going to stay in our current lot
 SH> for the season (Mothers Day > Thanksgiving Second week of may to
 SH> second week of october basically) and then elsewhere. :)

Any ideas where you want to go?

 RH> still open when Steve called, so they let him book our 5 day stay.
 RH> as much room as in the house but it's not bad for short stays.

 SH> Nice, alwaus nice ot be away and seeing family too.

Yes, we're on our way home now but had a good visit with everyone. Got
to our favorite sushi place yesterday for lunch. Went out for supper
with Steve's brother and his wife--a bbq place but they had some
"German-ish) meals to celebrate Octoberfest. I got smoked brisket with a
sauerbraten-ish gravey, red cabbage and spaezle; the last two were as
good as any (and better than some) I've had in German restaurants. Steve
got the same but subbed potato pancakes for the red cabbage.


 RH> That'll work. I'll do dressing (stuffing) sometimes as a side to fill
 RH> out an otherwise skimpy meal, especially if it's a "clean out the
 RH> fridge" type meal.

 SH> Yes I will do /if/ there is any left over GF bread which isn't very
 SH> often. When I make it from scratch it goes very fast, and when we buy
 SH> bread
 SH> between Andrea and Bob it doesn't last long.  I try to bake a small
 SH> loaf for crumbs / stuffing when I do make bread.

 RH> What is she studying? I was a sociology major/psychology & art
 RH> minors, have used the 2 -ologies mostly in volunteer capacity, art is
 RH> in my sewing & other craft design.

 SH> She's studying Medical Information Managment.  From what I understand
 SH> she'll be the one who enters the doctor notes on what they did with
 SH> each patient so it can be billed correctly.

What used to be called a Medical Transcriptionist?


 SH> She was a PTA/OTA (I can't spell either - please google) but with her
 SH> CREST her body can't handle the grind of much physical stuff anymore.

Physical/Occupational Therapy Assistant? That is hard work; I've had
PT/OT a number of times.


 SH> This is a desk job that with luck she can do from home.

Nice!


 SH>  SH>> Yeah it got cold fast.  Frost warning last night, so I guess
 RH> I'll be glad to get back south. (G)

 SH> Going back up to 20c this weekend, so it's not bad at all!

 RH> My favorite is "If God had meant us to see the sunrise, He would have
 RH> scheduled it for 10 am (or noon), seen both versions."

 SH> Laugh,  yes that's a good one too!

 SH> Shawn
