Well, nothing is happening on the "home" front. Brandon has made a couple offers/counteroffers, but nobody is biting. Don't believe them when they say it is a "buyer's market" in Florida. It may be in some cases, but not all. But perhaps we have just not found the right house for him yet. Our realtor assures us she will find a house for him, and I think she will. You just can't be in a hurry.
In other news, my Dad is in the hospital today. He had a stent placed in an artery in his leg. It was closed about 80% and the other leg is getting done tomorrow. We at first thought that one didn't need it, but they say now it is about as bad as the other. So they are keeping him overnight and will do the other tomorrow, then he will come home. I'm hoping that with the leg circulation restored, he will be in a better position if/when they decide they must repair his abdominal aortic aneurysm. The surgeons balked at doing it in December when they saw the blockages in his legs. They are just watching that AAA for now. Get well soon, Dad!
We haven't gotten out much. It's been cooler here and yesterday we did some "spring cleaning." Don't laugh. You wouldn't believe how much stuff you can accumulate in a 40' motorhome and we did some cleaning out of drawers, etc. We had a latch jam on the pull-out drawer unit that forms the "L" in our counter. Wouldn't do to have the drawer sliding out going down the road, so Terry took it apart and fixed it. While he was at it, we decided to clean out those drawers. We also made room for our "new" George Foreman grill. We bought Brandon's old one as we had gotten him a larger one for Christmas.
We have been looking at properties down here for us. Thought if Brandon is going to be here permanently, we might just invest in a bit of ground where we can stay when we come visit. Parks are very expensive here and so many are being sold, it might be hard to find a spot if we pop in without a reservation. Wish us luck in our search.
Till next time. . .

Hi guys. Just a quick note regarding your dad. I had a large stent placed in an AAA and in both femoral arteries where they branched off the Aorta. I am only 66 but 2 months later we were hiking down Canyon de Chelle, AZ. It made lots and lots of difference in my health and since they were able to find your dad's AAA that's 90% of the battle. They are called the silent killers. Keep up enjoying life, Larry.
Thanks for your comment, Larry. Dad is 83, but in good health for his age. They found the AAA this fall and are going to watch it for now. Thanks again. Glad you have your health back!

Dale, we are still keeping yours and Janice's dad in our prayers...
Check out our area for campgrounds. The new construction prices are still in effect and you are not far from anywhere in Florida... Well, maybe the Keys is a ways away.. Tee hee
Best thing is that you don't have to worry about hurricanes here.
Hugs,
Helen
Hey, Helen,
Thanks for the prayers. No hurricanes, huh? That's what they told us about Sebring and our condo got hit twice in one year. Terry had flown down to check out the damage and got caught there when the next one turned inland. He outran it in his rental car. That's why we sold out.
Thanks, though!
Dale
