Good morning everyone, and TGIF! While Walt is whipping up a little breakfast, I thought I'd jump on the blog and fill you in on the latest...

We've spent some quality time with our girls for the last 10 days, and up until yesterday we were able to park the Shack right down the street from their house. Well, the homeowner's assc. finally got wind of us, and decided they didn't want us there, family or not! So today we're waking up in a little rv park  about 5 miles down the road, near the Lawrence Welk Village. It's a very mountainous area, with lots of trees and a good size creek just a few feet away.Not a bad gig for the next few days until we head over to Palm Desert. Kris has loaned us her Camry to go back and forth to the house. Walt has been doing some work around the house, doing a few projects that they haven't been able to get to since they moved in 3 months ago. I've been trying to help out where I can, doing laundry and some cooking. Earlier this week Bailey came home from preschool with a bug, so she's been there with us while she recovers. It's been kind of a treat to spend some one on one time with her, even though she's not quite been herself.

It does my heart good to be able to help our kids out. And Walt has been right there beside me, doing whatever he can to contribute. He got to play golf earlier in the week with one of the neighbors he met while we were parked down the street . And tomorrow he's going to play in a tournament with another neighbor. Walt just makes friends with everyone, wherever he goes....especially if they play golf!

Well, I'm off to see what this day has to offer! Hope everyone is fine!
