A Busy Month and On the Road Again

After returning from North Dakota, we spent a month in Sioux City parked at the new house.  It turned out to be a busy month.  Work on the house ( a couple of new windows, a loft built in the garage, a patch of grass seeded from the well project, and small fix it jobs), work on the van (new front brake pads), work on the Jeep (added air bags to the rear springs to stiffen up the rear end), and work on the motorhome (new coach batteries, repair of the stove cover and washing it).  In between all of this we were able to spend some time with Rebecca and her family. Here are some pictures as requested by her.

The first is a shot from a prairie hill above the house.

The next is from the woods in the state park adjoining the house.

 And the top of another prairie hill.

We left Sioux City late this afternoon and are spending the night at the Victorian Acres RV park in Nebraska City, NE. The month at home flew by and we didn't get to spend as much time with family as we had hoped, but it was a productive summer. We are leaving with the old house packed into storage and we have a buyer for it due to close the end of  this month. We are looking forward to our volunteer job in the southern tip of Texas, but as always we will be missing the kids and grandkids. We plan to leave Texas in the middle of February and head to Georgia where we will spend the month of March.  We hope to be volunteering at Saylorville lake again starting mid April, so we can spend some time with the kids and grandkids there and the two new grandkids arriving next spring and summer in Desmoines. As usual, our plans are carved in stone, but subject to change.
