Still hot and humid

Like I said in my last blog, I have been busy with the grandson and family. Shopping, Movies, errands and watching my grandson in his swimming lessons and gymnastics. He does have alot of energy that I sure wish I had. Even got to have him allllll to myself when the parents went out a couple of times to have some alone time.

Went to a ATV place and got to go on a ride, as well a drive. . My son n law took me through a deep water ditch, so the ride wasn't a clean one. He did get me to screem, so that was fun for him as well as me. My daughter and I went for a ride and she let me drive too, but it was more fun ridding along. We had a good time there, even had a pic nic lunch, and now looking for a closer area for the next adventure.

Trying to get this Blog done today/last night it didn't go, and it didn't save what I wrote???
Went to a couple movies on my list to see. Shopping for some shorts for the Hot weather here. Even picked up a iPod for music while I walk. My daughter even got me cought up on putting my pictures from my camera and thumb drives on my Book (external hard drive) It would have taken me a month but in about 4 hours its all done. Now she going to teach me to scan all my OLD picture albums. The teaching part might take awhile, with this slower brain. I guess after I learn it, it won't be a scary.

Went with my grandsons family to SC. I did a ride along with a nascar driver TOM Car # 2. Its not his normal race car, these cars are past race cars that have been rebuilt or schools to teach and ride alongs. Got all suited up and put the helmet on. They strapped me in and away we went. At first the driver thought I was in the school part, so he only went around 2 laps, so went another 3 laps, pulled over again and then I told him I was a 10 lap ride, so away we went again. Even fast than the other times. My son n law went as well and his driver thought he was a 5 lap ride along, so when he got his last 5 laps he rode in car #2 and he said that driver drove alot faster. What a day. The grandson eveb got to ride in car #16 to go around and get gas put in and when he got back he had the biggest smile on his face. Got good pictures and a couple movies that my daughter did.

There was a storm last nite that there were less than 3 seconds before the thunder hit after the lightning. I was a little uneasy, not afraid.. Its even been raining on and off this morning. Well can't remember all I wrote last nite but will think about it and get it in the next blog.

Remember to tell the one's you love, that you love them often..

till next time Carrol

humid heat

I have landed in another warm place in NC. and will be here for awhile. Getting to enjoy my youngest grandson for awhile. Went to his swimming lessons today and it was really good seeing him doing alot on his own, of course his Mommy was in helping him when needed. He loved jumping of the side into her arms.
The weather is pretty muggy. Having a little trouble with hooking up to the house and run the air. Ran the generator to cool my house down and thats done now and will get this all straighted out soon... Its will take some getting used to the humid heat that I'm not used to.
I enjoyed my visit in VA. Went to a fleamarket that had a little varity of stuff. Got some magnets of the states I just came through this past couple months.
May be a little lax in posting in the next few weeks, but don't give up on me. I'll be busy playing with the grandson, granddog and of course the parents of said grandson.
Try staying cool and I will do my best. Carrol

more cuzzins 2

Met the wife of one cuz I'd met and then met with 2 more cuzzins. It was a great 10 days for me and hope they in turn tollerated me.
I met with my Uncle and had breakfast and then hooked up and drove south about an hour and met with a cuzzin on my Dads side Spent 2 days with her and we toured the Ford assembly plant, that was amazing.. Then the little town she lives has a every thursday evening of sights and sounds throughout the summer. It was like a block party to alot of people that you don't get to see very often with work and all.
My trek across some more states that I've never been in was an adventure. A campground in Ohio was really cool with the largest swimming pool in the world, its in the guness book of records, haven't looked it up, but thats what the sign said. When I left the next morning I was stuck due to parking in a site that was a little too soft and the weight of my house isn't lite. Had to unhook the car and kar kaddy and they hooked on to the hitch and I put the house in reverse and it came out pretty easy. The campground and good people was really nice, they are thinking and talking about me all weekend about this silly broad pulling into a soft spot, Oh well they needed some excitement in their weekend. I hooked up again and headed on my way then that nite found another campground just about 150 miles from my destenation in VA and it was a nice place without soft area's to park.
I got to friends from out military days and having a good time. Their sons grew up and look a little like there little boy pict. The eyes don't change. And now one if a Daddy himself. You know they grow up, see pict but your mind goes to the age they were when you last law them. If I ever loose one ability it wouldn't be my sight.
The weather lets me know I'm at the EAST coast with the sweating factor. I guess I'll just adjust the best I can.
Till later Carrol
