Home Sweet Home (Texas that is!!)

Happy New Year 2011:
Meowwwwwww to everyone (greetings from Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm)
Dad finally has gotten the laptop functioning again and left it out this evening,,, so Pebbles says we need to get everyone updated on what we have been doing and where we have been since mid-summer at Adventureland, Iowa.
Lets start in the present and work backwards.
We are REALLY REALLY happy to be back on the R&L Ranch here at Rainbows Inn, Livingston, TX. We (us kitties) get to roam the whole area as we please !!! While Dad and Mom have been busy getting Drs for Mom to determine why she is hurting so much,, Last week the visited Dr. Bui who has agreed to be her family Dr.,then they went to Dr. Sunkavally for her pain management, he has scheduled a MRI for this Monday to help determine what causing all of the pain other than her knees.... which she knows needs attention because the left one is bone on bone,so a visit to an orthopedic surgeon to determine the treatment procedures is scheduled. This past Wednesday they traveled down to Baylor for a followup with Dr.Shaib, the Liver specialist,,, he was so pleased with the progress and lab reports over the last year. ( these were done about every other month and sent to him.)

We had spent 10 weeks (Oct 14th until Dec23rd) in Coffeyville, Ks. again this year we were in RiverCrest Campground at Walter Johnson park,,, so Pebbles would sneak out as much as she could. Dad was busy working for Amazon.com in the Inventory Control and Quality Assurance dept, he was working 5:30 p.m. until 4: a.m. Sunday - Wenesday and much of the time he would work 1 more day a week. Dad also did quite a few calls to the hospital and RVs to visit the Rvers who had medical problems or requested that he visit with them,,, The folks had hoped to have a Bible study during the week , but with such a variety of work schedules at Amazon.com and so many different campgrounds it was hard to find a time when to have it... We are praying this may be accomplished next year.
We had another 2 weeks over at Corp of Engineers CG near Montpillier, Iowa along the Mississippi River, Mom and Dad did a lot of visiting with friends and family while there... They said that they really enjoyed the visits with the Wolfe cousins was nice to see Tom and Brenda, Dolly and Dee Dee. The Long cousins supper was terrific, they appreciated the effort of Jim and Diane Griffin, Alice and Larry Armstrong , Dave and Catherine Long, Doug and Cathy Long, John and Jackie Wochner, and Judy and John enjoyed a great meal and a time of sharing about family memories..
On Sept, 19th Mom and Dad, along with other mission volunteers were honored at Christ United Methodist Church, Belle Plane,,, they really appreciate all that the church does for us as we travel and volunteer.
While at Adventureland this past summer us cats were kept on the leash pretty much of the time,, while Dad worked as the overnight Campground Security officer again . he worked Wednesday nights through Sunday Morning.

My look out (Pebbles ) says that Lil' Red just pulled into the drive so we better get this sent .... BTW Dad says that he has keeping the blog updated MUCH more in 2011 then he did in 2010...

May GOD continue to give each of you blessings

So glad you are settled in for a bit to take care of all that maintenance. Every once in awhile we work campers are due for an overhaul.

We'll see you down the road.
