Moving on to Idaho

After Bryce Canyon, we thought about going up to the Grand Tetons, then over to see Wayne and Nancy in Clyde Park, MT. After checking the weather, we said “NO WAY” This was Friday, June 10th and it was going to snow in the Grand Tetons that weekend. So we headed to Idaho.

Friends, Dennis and Linda Forbes, from Happy Trails came over to the RV Park on Sunday just to check in. On Monday, they picked us up and we headed to the Pickleball courts near their house. Dennis teaches and had around 14-15 players there. The courts are temporary courts on concrete slab, but they have 3 marked off. They had painted the lines on two tennis courts right next door the day before, but they needed to dry. Of course, I forgot my camera that day so no pictures. That evening, we had dinner at Dennis and Linda’s place in Eagle, ID. Nice time and good food, really enjoyed it.

On Tuesday, we went to the only real pickleball court in town. Another Dennis has one in his back yard. IT is a very nice court with plenty of space and a good surface.

Fiji- A Great Getaway

Image
  On Saturday morning Dec 3rd, we arrived at the Fiji airport.  It was only 5:30 am, but they still had a Band to greet us.  We had to wait until 7:00 for the grocery stores to open, the the Malolo Cat office that would be transporting us to the island of Malolo Lei Lei to our resort, the Malolo Lei Lei Lagoon Resort was open Rosa welcomed us with a flower for my hair.       After a trip to the grocery and to see the town of Nadi, we boarded a bus to the Marina to disembark to our island vacation. The Malolo Cat II took us for the hour trip to the island.     First view of our home for the week.   It was everything Bob and I wanted, no phone, no inter-net, and no TV.  As a matter of fact, there wasn’t even a microwave.  (we could have had inter-net at $5 for 30 minutes, but we opted not to even get on)  The computer was strictly to save pictures.  and that we did!!!! The beauty has to be seen, not described.  It was early Saturday when we got to the resort and we couldn

Break Down

This will bring the travels up to date with a Bummer of a breakdown. After playing on Sunday morning with Tom and Becky and their son-in-law, we headed out. We were actually going to stay in a RV Park, the RPI on Wellsby Island in the middle of the St. Lawrence. Going through Fulton, we heard a crunch and a loud clanking. We pulled over and saw nothing, so headed out again. Too much noise, so decided not to chance it. Called CoachNet to arrange a tow. Spent one night in the Valero Gas Station parking lot. On Monday morning we were towed to Camping World in Syracuse, NY. One week later, we're still here, camping in their parking lot, waiting on a new rear-end. Luckily, there's water and a dump within hose length. Here's the problem child. A rear end problem.

April Family Fun

Image
  Winter’s gone and the seasons over.  We got to Happy Trails at the end of October and immediately started with tournaments. Not playing just working.  In December, we took our annual trip for a beach and snorkel fix.  Then back for more tournaments.  I had back surgery on Dec. 17th, so no pickleball for me the rest of the season.  In April, my big brother Jim Richardson, my Sister, Gladys and Husband, Denny Houghton, and my Sister, Anita and her husband, Stan Kubin cam to visit me.  We normally meet somewhere in May for an annual get together.  This year it was April and at my place.  Dom and Sue were nice enough to move their rig and Gladys and Denny  parked on their lot right next to us so that we could all be together.  Bob and I moved into our RV the night before they arrived since we were headed out after they left.  Picked Jim up at the airport on Thursday, April 18th.  We stopped for lunch/dinner at our favorite Mexican Food restaurant and headed home to welcome Anita and S
