Hi all,
Today I finally got my computer hooked up and online, I had to get a new internet provider due to my old one not having any dial up numbers at my area. I have a lot of catching up on reading the posts.
I would like to thank everyone who have been following my cross country drive, and praying for me and giving me good wishes. They worked, I arrived here safe last week and then went down to get all of my things out of storage this past weekend. My son-in-law and his friend went with me. My son-in-law drove my van the entire way down, which was 6 hours one way, so that I did'nt have to. Everything was loaded into the Uhaul truck on Sat. and we stayed at a hotel and drove back on Sunday. Sunday night it was all in my apartment. I'm still trying to get unpacked,lol.
I would also like to thank Red & Del for thier hospitality and allowing me to stay at thier home the first night. Red taught me how to paint on Christmas balls and also gave me a few things for my daughter and had the item that I asked her to make done for me. It was a great visit.
Limbo and his wife were great and left me spend time at thier home as well. I originally was only going to spend 1 night, but due to the weather, I stayed 2. The beef stew and biscuits that Ellen made were great. That was the last time while on the trip that I was able to get online, until I reached my daughter's home.
I was very happy to meet Undercover Angel in Oklahoma, it was as if we had met before and talked like old friends. We had a nice lunch and played some at the casino. I don't drive (if I can help it) at night because of my eye problems, so I had to go and find my hotel, and we parted ways. I would have liked to have more time with her, but was happy for the time we did get.
Tuffy kept in touch most of the trip, until she disappeared and went to her brother's on the spur of the moment. Then I was worried because I could'nt reach her by phone, and could'nt get access to the internet. I ended up calling UA to find out when she was on here last. Tuffy did call me after she returned, but I was in the middle of getting the things from storage. Thank you Tuffy and anyone else for keeping the forum family updated on my travel.
I tried to contact differant people by phone while I was gone, I'm glad to have such a great group of people to be able to talk to and for those who gave me traveling advise.
Sorry that I ended up writing a book,lol. I have missed y'all so much. I will try to get on more often now that I have my computer working. For all of you that were on my Christmas card list last year or if you want to be added to it, please PM me if your address changed. If anyone would like my new address, Please PM me and I will give it to you. I have learned that I can trust my forum family with my info. My cell phone number is remaining the same for now, but I do have a new home number.
If I left anyone out on the thank yous, please overlook that and know that I thank y'all for watching over me so well. I really enjoyed knowing that on my trip.
Love
Vickie
