Still in Sioux Falls, SD. where today is really rainy and windy, and looks cold, haven't been out of the RV yet. the weather here has been pretty windy, enough to have to pull the sides in so I wouldn't rock so bad. My sister n law here from CA. also was rocking in the wind. That happened several times in just a few days. I was hopeing to have nicer weather when I got here late May.
Went with my Sister n Law to her cancer treatment the other day and its amazing, she isn't having much side effects. Feels a little tired afterward so needed a nap, but thats about all. Her blood count was good before treatment, with meds now they can presvent the treatment distroying the white cells, and nausia.
I got appointments made of yearly check ups and setting up dates with other family and friends in the area, so thats pretty good for me.
Still having some trouble with the satelite service, a son from another mother is coming today to see if he can fix my situation. He just happens to work for DirecTV so thats a plussss. The weather is really bad so not sure if today is a good day to do it. At least i'm getting my music channel,, not alot of the other stations I like to watch. hopefully its just the receivers and not the dish part. It will be good to see him again after a couple years.
Yesterday went to a rummage sale in Lenox and the whole town had about 50 people taking advantage of the advertisement for the town. Yes i got a couple things but so did my sister n laws. We had lunch before heading back to SF.
Last week went to a memorial day rememberance and it was a wonderfull service. Went around and put flowers and flags on family graves and just thought of the loved ones we have lost. Hope your memoral was one of rememberance of our fallen fighting men past and present.
By for now. Remember to remember everyday not just on memorial day.

few hundred mile later
I am still getting used to a couple things. Left Florance CO, and went to La Junta for 1 nite to see another cuz. Got to meet another pert-near cuz aswell. Left there and headed east to KS to see another cuz, which is on a farm near Ulysses and having NO noise with neighbors so far away you don't know their there. Was there a few days and enjoyed visiting with them. Also got cought up on some family info stuff, new babys, new marriages, some departures. It has been great getting to know family better and not just seeing them at a reunion for a couple days and trying to see so many.
Got to another cuz, also in KS. in junction city.. Haven't seen her sence I was a teen and she wasn't sure she remembered me. She is younger than I, we had a good time in getting to know each other again. She works for a wild life reserve and was taking care of two little ones that didn't have their mothers anymore. It was so facinating to see and hear the caring and the passion in what she loves to do. I plan on staying longer next time to be able to go through and see more
Headed north east and got into Omaha NE. mothers day afternoon. got phone calls from my kids and a couple more people as well. The friends I stayed over with, we have know each other from a tour of Norway some twentysome years ago. they excepted me to come and enjoy a fine dinner a got to see their kids and grandkids. They are still working so got to see them mon. before they left and then I headed to Sioux Falls SD. arrived about 2 in the afternoon. My sister n law is going through cancer treatment and was so good to see that she is doing good. She has slowed down a little but doing good. My other sister n law and her husband are here from CA. and its great to all together again.
Getting to see the nephews and neices, there's a little bitty one to hold and cuddle, so that makes the visit even better. My two brother n laws and nephew made a desk/craft table for my sister n law to do her crafts with plenty of room. she had a little kids desk before. They are painting it so still haven't gotten to use it and move all her craft stuff back in her room.
The weather has been really cold and really windy, so windy that I had to pull the side in so I wouldn't rock to bad. It tends to wear out the awning part of the pull outs. It makes my house a little small but cozy anyway.
Got to pickup my mail personally instead of calling to have it mailed to me. Have some stuff to do while in the area. Will be going to a few places in the area and hope to be able to camp maybe if everyone is up to it.
Would love to hear from family and friends is they like my blog or any comit it welcome. Well enough for now. Need to go watch csi with my sisters.
Tell someone you love them everyday, its makes them feel good and it makes you fell good too.

finally
Yes!!! finally I have something to write about. I am finally in my house. got it back yesterday afternoon . Working out some bugs and getting used to the new appliances. Its taking some time to get organized with all the stuff that I have been hauling around with me.
Its was more stressful than I had thought dealing with the insurance, at least this ins. agent. But ended up in emergency with a/fib. My heart was having a different party in different chambers. It went back to normal on its on. But glad I decided to go in. Also my blood pressure was all over the place, mostely high. so now on BP meds....
The weather isn't the greatest today so I decided to go say my goodbys to some I won't see before leaving in a few days. I was very blessed to have family to stay with and enjoy being with them as well. But very thrilled to have my house back as well. Good thing I wanted to stay in one place (this place) for this long. Leaving in a couple days to work my way toward SD. have 4 stops to make in between to get there, but not long at each.
I think I need a nap this afternoon. Meds or just tired, but it seems like a good thing to do right now.
Ps: Take good care of yourself, its not just you that matters.
