9/29-11/4 - Mom and Dad's (mostly) - Lincoln, NE

We arrived in time to help Mom celebrate her birthday!!

Steve has been in correspondence with some folks who have a Dodge 4500 Western Hauler for sale.  So...he decided to sell our truck right away and spent a week washing, waxing, and cleaning before he sold it on Craig's List.  This was on Friday.

Saturday was us on a flight to Phoenix (without actual confirmation that we could meet the folks with the 4500).  So...we toured Robson Ranch and saw the new home of RV friends John and Sandy.  Then we headed for Quartzite, AZ to see the truck.  We were able to make a deal, then realized that Monday was a bank Holiday.  We made arrangements to meet on Tuesday, and we took off for Wickenburg for a couple of nights.  We took possession of the big rig on Tuesday afternoon and spent the next 3 days driving back to Lincoln.  We passed through some beautiful country from Flagstaff to Glenwood Springs!

Once we were back, Cathy drove back to Denver with her folks to see Sharon and helped her do more stuff with the house.




When we returned, we had a fish fry at brother Bob's and even ate some of Steve's fish from the boundary waters.  YUM!

We spent the rest of our time here lunching, dining, and card playing with friends and family.  We were also able to see the twins daycare Halloween party.  What a cute pair they are!

Our home was finally ready and we spent a couple of nights at the Lancaster Events Center so we could show off the rig.  Now we have 3 more awnings, an oven that works, and the tire damage is fixed!
