in a rut!

We should be enjoying ourselves llike this, but instead we are stuck in Riverside!Don't get me wrong we are here helping our son and thats what families do.We love him and his sons.It's just that somtimes we just get in a rut here.The RV park is a little cramped,and the"June gloom"as they call it here in Riverside has set in(very little sun).

Sometimes when we are down, we pull out our travel scrapbooks and kind of look back at all the places we have been and all we have done.The many people we have met,the friendships we have made.We have been able to do this in no small part because of our kids Jackie,Dan,and Katie.Without their support we would not have had the oppurtunity to fulltime RV.

As when we were young,are children will go through the trials,and tribulations of relationships,but they can count on Jeni and I to be there for them when they need us.

I read in one of the blogs today that Affinity group,which owns goodsam,and many of the related publications,is selling off their campworld rv supply stores!NOOOOO!!! there goes the great prices were accostomed to

A busy day.

Jeni and I have a morning routine.I'm usually up at 6:30am,I make the coffee,turn up the heat,and I watch a couple of episodes of "Frasier"That show cracks me up!Jeni is usually up at 7:30-8:00am.We check the morning news and were ready to greet the day.today jeni went up to the kiosk to clean and open up if enough people come in.the weather is partly cloudy and cool.I went to the maintainence yard to pick up 9 "campsite" posts.I installed them in the sites that were missing posts.I also installed "campsite numbers"on the posts.I also placed a "camphost"sign on a post at our campsite.We put in about 4hrs today.This afternoon we went down to the "day use" area to see how the const for the" Mercedes Benz"rally I told you earlier about is doing. The rally is Mar.7th-18.We came back and sat awhile on our deck and watched the"Red tail hawks hunting for dinner.The weather turned rainy,and windy so we retreated to our "comfy"RV for the night.The only drawback here is the "spotty cell phone service we have here.We are thinking of getting a" booster" to get better service but it's 400.00 so were a little hesitant.We do have a phone land line in the RV that the park gave us that we can call out on in an emergency.

living the dream

When we officially started work Sat. morning as camphosts we donned our hats and vests and manned the kiosk. We put in 5 hrs.sat,6hrs sun,and 6hrs. mon.The campground was full ,and the fisherman were plenty.The weather was sunny and nice.Cherl,the head park aid worked with us sat,and sun.then we were on our own mon.Presidents day.We sure love it here this is a nice park!


Today is our day off so we are off to Hesperia,Ca.to do laundry,grocery shop,and paperwork stuff.It's about 11 miles to Hesperia and it's a very scenic drive there.


this afternoon we sat out on our deck and watched the storm roll in over the mountains.The temp. dropped 20 degrees in an hour but no rain yet.We only have a couple of campers in now so it is nice and quiet.


Mercedes Benz is setting up a big production in the day use area.Trucks,tents,concessionares,security people,and mercedes benz execs are streaming into the park.It's some kind of road tour ending at the park in a couple of weeks.Mercedes Benz is donating 20 new "bear proof" trash cans,and constructing and painting the ramadas in the day use area.

Well were back at it tomarrow.Camphosting is fun!
