A Gift From Our Grandson, Shane

Fifth Wheel

Bill and I have been busy getting the truck and trailer ready, as well as packing, for our 2009 Adventure Caravan trips; Lewis and Clark Expedition, Calgary Stampede, and Grand Circle Tour.

THIS is our Fifth Wheel, where we will be living for the next 5 months.

Here is the living room and kitchen

This is our bedroom

Easter Sunday

Soon after we arrived at Alicia & Chris' for Easter Sunday, Billy & Jenn decided their dog, Malu needed some tiring out. So into the Chesapeake Bay went the stick and Malu to fetch it.

Alicia's dog, Dylan, decided to join in on the fun, but chose to stay on dry land.










Once they tired out, it was time to settle down & dry.

You can see that Dylan's trying to eat Malu's food.

Then it was time for the big Easter Egg Hunt

There were so many great places to hide the eggs.

WHOOPS! Looks like a couple of baskets got dumped.

Time to eat and what a great meal prepared by Alicia.












Then time to rest.

It was a great day for all!

CDL Learner's Permit

Robby passed the third and final section of the written CDL test and is now in possession of his CDL learner's permit! HOORAY FOR ROBBY! Now on to the driving. He is scheduled to start with his instructor tomorrow. WE ARE SO PROUD OF HIM.

Cherry Blossoms one week later

Well, I made it a point to take pictures of the Cherry Blossoms one week later, so here is the difference.

Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom - April 3, 2009

The Cherry Blossoms in Washington, D.C., were actually in full bloom for the Parade this year. As usual, after they were in full bloom, the wind came, then the rain, and then the blossoms are gone within days. I tried to get down there on Monday to show you that they don't look this beautiful for very long, but never got there.

ROBBY DID IT AGAIN!!!

Robby passed the Air Brake CDL test today! This is the 2nd part of the 3 part written test for his CDL license. We are so proud of him! Now, on to part 3.
