Augusta, GA

 Good Morning All:

It took two days to travel from Newport News, VA to Augusta, GA.  We stopped for the night in Lumberton, NC.  Lydia and Early gave us a shorter, more beautiful route from Newport New to Augusta. The ride was beautiful and peaceful.  Virginia and North Carolina are beautiful and so many farms.

It took a few hundred miles but I finally identified what was being grown in many of the fields.  At first I thought it was soybeans but we saw a field that was about ready to harvest and it was cotton!  I didn't realize there were still so many farmers who grew cotton.

Since I last posted our granddaughter Avery turn 15!  Both my baby girls are now 15 and Victoria has her driver's permit.  I don't feel old until I look at the granddaughters and realize they will be in college soon.

Augusta is amazing.  Roy's been to Fort Gordon, GA a few times but I never have.  Andrew, another army friend for the last 30 years, has a very lovely home near Fort Gordon.  You can get lost in the house but it is very comfortable.

Andrew also took us out to dinner and they a tour around downtown Augusta and Fort Gordon.  Roy was in heaven reliving all the army school memories.

All my pictures are on my phone so I'll post pictures in just a few!

Love to all, Grandma and FunPop

We departed Copperas Cove, TX. We had a wonderful stay with Robbie and Sylvia. I need to fast for eight days to lose the weight gain. My Sylvia can cook and we ate way too much every day.  We got the crown molding installed and Robbie is caulking. There were one or two corners that needed extensive caulking but most went in well.  In addition to interior design, Sylvia is also a gardener. There are butterflies 🦋 and birds everywhere. They enjoy the yard as much as the humans. Roy and I have acquired a new skill. Identifying dead squished animals. Today I-10 west was quite busy:  A fawn 😟 Deer Skunk Porcupine  opossums Cougar  And a large bird of pray - Harris’s Hawk. I had to look up that one. Love to all! Grandma and FunPop

We are home and this odyssey is over.  It was a challenging last few days . . .  Las Vegas to Bakersfield, CA It was beautiful drive.  We lived in the Mojave Desert a few years ago and I had forgotten how beautiful the desert can be.  We arrived in Bakersfield early than expected and decided to go to camping world and Costco.  It was an expensive decision... We stopped at camping world to find a sewer pipe cap to replaced one that had cracked.  The cap isn't technically needed but I didn't want to see the inside.  It was an inexpensive cap so $6.59 later we were out the door and on our way to Costco for supplies. I gave Roy wrong directions and we turned into a residential area.  Roy found a small cul-de-sac and managed to turn around.  What we didn't realize until we arrived at Costco we lost our backup camera on the trailer.  Turns out we crimped the cable and we lost trailer running lights and backup camera.  We could drive durin...

 Good morning all! We left Long Island yesterday, September 7th, 2021.  Here are some pictures of our visit to Long Island -  Lois, Roy, Valerie and Linda (where’s Richard?) Us girls we’re off to the casino to celebrate Linda’s birthday. Right before we left BJ, our nephew came by to visit. We had not seen him in years. He is doing great! Here’s the family. Linda was the only winner at the casino. It was appropriate since we were celebrating her birthday. She was on a roll and we all gathered around to watch her play. We may have gathered also because we had already lost our gambling $$. 😆😁 Monday was spent at the house and Roy continued to look at his mom’s family photos. We brought a few with us and I now have many pictures of Roy and his family when they were young. So much laughter and love in the house. The drive to Maryland was pretty uneventful.  We drove through part of NYC on the way south and traffic was bumper to bumper. Interesting smells. We are visiti...
