Happy Birthday Parker

Wednesday got started off with Brenda getting her hair done at Gina’s salon. It looks really good (of course it looked good before she went too). I guess Gina must have caught my cold as she woke up not feeling too well. Later that evening we enjoyed a dinner of leftover spaghetti that was followed by that excellent homemade Key Lime pie Nicole made Tuesday night. Since Gina wasn’t feeling too well we just called it an early night.

Thursday morning found Gina feeling even worse and a doctor visit was in order. While I took Gina to the doctor, John and Brenda drove out to Cabala’s. After Gina received two shots and two prescriptions we all met back up at our house and sat outside in our garden swinging and chatting.

We all left the house around 6:45 to meet up with Parker & Ashley so we could celebrate Parker’s birthday at one of his favorite restaurant, Chimes East. We were joined by his parents Phil & Wanda along with Nicole. After enjoying a wonderful meal we sung Happy Birthday and watched Parker open his gifts.

Happy 27th Birthday Parker, We Love You

Parker is quite happy with two cakes

We're getting ready for some cake

Parker's first gift was a toy stethoscope

He did get a real stethoscope too

We then ate some fantastic strawberry cake and tiramisu (an Italian cake). John commented that we all would need the desert just to lose some weight after all this food we have been eating. We finally said goodbye to everyone and headed back home. Another wonderful day spent with family and friends.


I believe most of our fellow RV’ers are now situated where they intend to spend the holidays. If not, we wish everyone safe travels as they head toward their holiday location. Especially, Mike and Janna as they avoid snow while they make their way to Arkansas to spend the holidays with Janna’s family.

Congratulations to Mom and Pop's for selling their lot in Retama Village.  We love and miss you guys!!!


Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
