Carthage, Missouri

We are on the way wandering South. Today we had the Direct TV guy out to our gated community and he was able to fix our system and arrange for cable hook up when offered so that we could get the national networks. His name is Stan and we highly recommend him if you need his services. His addition to the Christmas list is still an open issue.

Once Stan had us hooked up and the televisions working we moved the motor home from where we were parked for the last week at Leaches RV, hooked up our car so we could tow it behind, and went to the nearest gas station for the necessary diesel fuel. A trucker in the next bay said that he spends $15,000 a month on diesel fuel and did we want to trade vehicles. I think that this easily explains higher food prices for all of us. Tank filled, we got onto the interstate I29 and headed to Kansas City, Missouri where HW2 taught middle school for three years at the beginning of her teaching career. Finally we stopped in Carthage for the night. A light came on the front display indicating low battery so we have something to attend to in the morning. However there is a RV garage attached to this park and maybe we can get them to look at our battery energy levels. When we checked into this park, the office attendants immediately recognised our new address since they use Livingston as their home address too. It is a small world. It was hard to leave family and friends in Omaha but we will work hard to stay in touch with all. HW2 seems to have dinner in hand and that seems like a good thing to me. Cin, cin!!!!
