Rain, Rain, Rain !!!!!

Wow, we really had a lot of rain last night. It did not pour but it did come down for the entire night. The golf course here should be closed but I was surprised to see some golfers going out to play.

Yesterday we spent a lot of time with Lori and Dawn and I reviewed the To-Do-List and even got an item done. There is still a lot more to do and the rain may hold me up some today.

We did go to Sam's Club (naturally) and did some shopping. I had been looking at a NETBOOK computer. Yes I spelled it right, a netbook not notebook. It is quite small and does not even have a CD drive in it. You load programs from the net, hence netbook. I am getting an external DVD/CD drive so I can load some of my programs from that rather than the net since I already have the programs.

It is a cute little thing and weighs less than a pound. It will be easier to take with us when we travel by plane and we will also use it for garage sales when I get my GPS program loaded on it.

We are not sure of our plans for this day but I am sure we will have fun.

The beginning!!

Here is my first blog. Right now we are in Nashport, OH (Zanesville, OH) in our motor home parked in the golf course parking lot next to our daughter-in-laws home.

We have been on the road since July 12. On the way north we stopped in Mounteagle, TN to visit with friends for several days and then went on to Louisville, KY to meet up with other friends and head to Bowling Green, OH and the Family Motor Coach Assn rally at Bowling Green State University. It was there that we attended a seminar by Geeks On Tour titled "Every RV'r Needs A Blog". So here is the result of that seminar.

They also put on 6 other seminars and all were very good and on programs that were free. Try Photo Story, Picasa 3 and Blogger for some good programs.

After leaving BGSU we headed to Greenfield, IN and a rally with the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club for several days more fun. While there we also had the opportunity to have lunch with a fellow Carol worked with at Otis Elevator. We had not seen him and his wife for at least 10 years.

I will try to keep posts coming from time to time.
