A Busy Day....

DianaB · 07-28-2009, 07:41 AM

Today's a really busy day. We're getting ready to leave for vacation in the morning. We're going canoeing over in Missouri, the North Fork of the White River. It's a place that we've gone to before and have really enjoyed. Then after a couple of days of canoeing we're going to Branson.....again. We talked about going somewhere else but Branson is so close to where we'll be and offers so much that it didn't make sense to drive any further. My laptop is repaired and Glen's picking it up so I'll be able to get on once we get to a motel, which will be on Saturday.

I haven't started getting anything together so it's going to be a busy day packing and going to the store and getting groceries. Feyn and Tammy and the kids are going, as well as Dae Lynn, Damon, and Karlie. Then Jaci and Nate are going with Glen and me. It will be lots of fun!! We invited Kera and Daya but they thought that they'd miss home before the week was out so they decided not to go. So, I gotta' go because I have lots to do!!!

Hold down the fort for me and I'll talk to ya' as soon as I can get a connection!!!! Hugs to everyone!!!!

I hope you have a great vacation and you know I'll miss you a lot. I should have given you a call, but I've just been busy with Mom.

MaddieBoo · 07-28-2009, 06:03 PM

Have a good vacation! Sounds fun!

Shada · 07-28-2009, 06:10 PM

Have a good time!! Don't forget your life vest!!!
Check in when you can.

DianaB · 07-28-2009, 07:21 PM

I have been soooo busy today. I'm finally taking a break but I'm not quite done packing. I went out and checked the camper this morning and Jaci hadn't cleaned everything very good so I had to do some cleaning that I really hadn't planned on. The camper has leaked a little and it smells musty so I bought some of that new spray and now it smells much better. Glen and I are staying in a cabin so I hope the kids appreciate the better smell!! I had to find sheets, blankets, towels, and washrags because we'd taken everything out sometime or another. Anyway, they're loaded. It might rain so we have games and stuff loaded!!!

I went and got groceries but didn't find everything so we're going to have to stop at Wal-mart on the way somewhere. I think that everyone has a few things that they need to pick up. So we have all of that packed in the camper. You know, it takes a while to gather up EVERYTHING that you're going to need!!!

Now I'm working on my clothes. I need clothes for canoeing, clothes for after we get out, and clothes for when we're at Branson!!! I can just pretty much empty my drawers and closet and just throw them in a suitcase!!!! ............Not really!!!!

It's funny because I found out a few years ago that orange is my color. This year there is so much orange that you can buy and I've bought several things in that color. I think that almost everything I'm taking is orange so if you happen to be in Branson and see a heavy set woman in the shape and color of an orange.........it's probably me!!!!! Love ya'll!!!!!

Oh and I almost forgot.........I've decided to call the doctor tomorrow and go back on the Lyrica. I'm really not feeling as good as I was. The medicine that I'm trying is just not covering the pain and I'm hurting a lot more than I was. I have some refills on the Lyrica but I'm going to call the doctor and let her know before I get it refilled. Hugs!!!

Diana, sounds like you're going to be well prepared and have a blast!!!! Let us know how things are going and post pictures. We'll be back here holding down the fort for your, and wishing we could be there with you!!! Enjoy and make more wonderful memories!!!!

judy · 07-30-2009, 06:00 AM

Have a great time!!!

Lindsey · 07-30-2009, 06:27 AM

Have a great vacation Diana! I can't wait to see pictures when you get back!

AAAAKKKK!!! Diana!!! we were camped on the North Fork of the White River right below the dam on Norfork Lake - in the Quarry Dam campground. I know you didn't canoe right by us, because we were so close to the dam - but we must have been within a few miles of each other. Did you stay there??? If so, where? We usually ate one meal a day in Norfork!!! We left on the 31st though, so maybe you were there yet!

How funny!!!!

Janet · 08-02-2009, 06:10 AM

I know it hasn't been that long....but I'm ready for you to be back too Diana. We have Gayle back....now it's your turn.

judy · 08-02-2009, 10:05 AM

How long are you staying Diana? I hope it is a wonderful vacation.

Gina · 08-02-2009, 11:56 AM

Diana have a great vacation!

I knew that you were probably close but I didn't know how to get a hold of you!!! We were camped at Twin Bridges which was just up stream from where you were at!!! I'm not sure how many miles it was but I'm sure that it wasn't too many.

It looks like we were about 25 miles apart!! (We were there the evening of July 29th to the morning of Aug. 1st.)

Oh, I see now Diana - you were on the north side of the lake in Missouri, and we were on the south side of the lake (15 miles south of Mountain Home) in Arkansas. So, we weren't as close as I thought - but pretty close considering how far apart we live!!!

Glad you had a good time!
