Winter Excursion 6, Day 64

Cath is still doing very well and it looks like our target date of 13 Jan 22 might happen. We will be together again. It is weird being away from her.
I spent the day learning from the current host at the campground. Duties will be easy and takes a few hours each day while we are on duty. The bath houses are the biggest job, but it's not too bad.
I met all the Rangers and office personnel today. They are super friendly folks and love to tease, we will fit right in! Got our new "Host T-shirts" and they look good. They gave me a hat also, but it's not my style!
I'll be shadowing the other hosts again tomorrow and get to clean the ladies bathroom...can't wait...LOL.
Kaylee is doing fine. She likes her walks, but does well in the camper by herself.
I did a little food shopping this afternoon. The market is only 10 minute away and has most everything we will need. 
We got our January schedule and I have off all the days I need to be with Cath for her upcoming appoints.

Winter Excursion 6, Day 63

Well it's been over three weeks since I did a blog post. Cath is doing much better with her Relaxation Techniques. With a little bit of luck she will be finished with them on 13 Jan 22 and able to join me in the camper at George L. Smith State Park in Georgia. Time will tell, but that is the target we've set for ourselves.
I moved from the Charleston area today to assume duties as Camp Host at our new campground. It broke my heart to leave Cath, but she is in really good hands. Brain and Nicole will make sure her Relaxation Techniques continue. 
Our co-hosts here are super folks. I'll be learning from them for the next few days, before I assume duties. They are more than willing to trade days as necessary so I can observe Cath's Techniques. 
We have been away from the camper since 4 Dec 21 and it was good to get back, but I miss my camping partner. Kaylee is with me and took to the camper like she never left! She even got in the damn garbage can right away!
More daily blog posts to continue. It's good to be back!
Check out the sign to the left!

Winter Excursion 6, Day 40

She graduated from Relaxation Techniques class today! So no more driving her to class!
We are back at Brian & Nicole's house and plan to stay here for awhile. The Kiddos were jazzed to see her.
All is getting back to normal (slowly). We are still looking forward to our Host Job in Georgia.


Winter Excursion 6, Day 39

Once again Cath continued her Relaxation Techniques today. She is getting better at it. but it will be a day or so until she has it right.
Not much to report today the traffic continues to be a nightmare.
All else is well.

Winter Excursion 6, Day 38

Cath continued her Relaxation Techniques again today. I spent the day observing her techniques, but didn't really want to participate.
All is actually well and we think the Relaxation Techniques Syndrome should be over in a few days.
The traffic in this area continues to amaze me. It took 34 minutes to drive 9 miles this evening.
Nicole and Brian have been super, dinner every evening, Kaylee taking care of, and all because of the Relaxation Techniques.

Winter Excursion 6, Day 37

Cath continued her relaxation techniques, so Brian and I took the Kiddos and headed to Foster Creek to check on the camper. All was well. The Kiddos decided to nap on the way home and Kaylee was happy for the truck ride..

Brian made some yummy Sloppy Joes for dinner which went great with the NFL games we watched. School tomorrow so the Kiddos were off to bed ay 2000. Nicole got home around 2300. It's been another long day.
 

Winter Excursion 6, Day 36

Brian took the day off and we spent the day at the house. Kennedy left for a weekend camping trip with the Girl Scouts and Wesley played all day with his buddies. 
Cath decided to relax a little today, so no cookie baking happened.
Brian, Wesley, and I made a really good taco dinner. We even made some homemade refried beans, but we had no bacon grease or lard so we used coconut oil. It added a really different flavor to the beans.
A little college football, then off to bed.

Winter Excursion 6, Day 35

Our weather continues to be beautiful. Forecast is for mid 70s and sunny for the next few days.
We went over to the Kiddos again today and met them at the bus stop.


 
We stayed at the house and helped them with a little homework, did a little puzzle working, took them to tennis lessons, and had dinner.
Afterward we headed back to camp, watched a Yellowstone episode, and hit the rack. 
The weekend will be interesting as we are BSing until Monday!

Winter Excursion 6, Day 34

Spent the morning in camp and did a little camp maintenance.
After lunch we went over to the commissary to get our Christmas Cookie baking supplies. Cath was able to get most everything.
While we were at the commissary Nicole texted with an urgent BSing (baby sitting) request. So we headed over to see the Kiddos. Nicole had made a nice dinner which we, and the Kiddos enjoyed. We had some ice cream, then a movie and popcorn. We watched Home Alone III and we all laughed ourselves silly!
After the movie Brian and Nicole were home and Cath and I headed back to the camper.

Winter Excursion 6, Day 33

We spent most of the morning at camp. Then headed out shopping for a few things Cath needed. Got back to camp in the middle of the afternoon.
We sat outside once again enjoying the weather. This has to be on of the warmest Nov -Dec we've had in the Charleston area. Our neighbor, John, stopped by and we yakked with him awhile.
After dinner Kaylee arranged all her bone pieces on her bed. This pic was not staged, she actually did this! What a hoot!
The bad news today was that the frame shop may not get our axel for probably four weeks. That may mean that we will have to drive back to Charleston from Georgia to get the camper repaired. Time will tell.
