Keeping busy

I started off March somehow hurting my back and have been to the chiro several times this month and am doing much better.  Larry also has been seeing my chiro to try to fix his knees and thumbs.  He has been having stomach problems and as a result has been to the VA several times for X-rays and a CT scan.  They have scheduled a colonoscopy for mid April but in the meantime have discovered he has gallstones.  He did a cleanse the chiro recommended and hopefully that will help.

We met another RVing couple at Valle Luna one Tues night and has a very nice time.  We were hoping to get together with them again before they left the Phoenix area but with our health problems, that didn't happen.

We were planning on purchasing trailer tires as soon as we returned to OR this summer to avoid the sales tax but when I called Klamath Falls to ask about them, Basin Tire suggested we upgrade to 17.5" tires.  That got Larry to thinking and he was able to find Goodyear 17.5" tires and aluminum rims similar to what we had for a good price delivered with no sales tax so we went ahead and ordered them so we wouldn't have to be concerned with tire troubles on the way to OR since the trailer tires are seven years old.  They arrived March 24 and Larry was able to get them mounted right away.

March 20 we all met at Red Robin for Colby's birthday and then returned to Dawn and Vince's new house for ice cream and cake and so Colby and Krista could see the house finished.  We had a good time and enjoyed seeing how busy Dawn and Vince have both been getting the house 'settled'.  They still have a ways to go but Dawn is able to get her car in the garage now.  Larry helped put up the blinds in all the rooms and hung three mirrors in the dining room.  It is really starting to come together nicely.

I have been busy making reservations for our summer in OR and WA.  I have run into some problems but they seem to be working out OK.  God is good all the time!
