Walnut Grove RV Park - Merriam, KS

Here we are, back at the beautiful Walnut Grove. We are parked right next to our first RV friends, Paul and Mary! They brought a couple with them (Mike and Leslie), and we all had a great time together. We all had chili one night, and had Mike and Leslie over to watch "The Long, Long Trailer" with Lucy and Desi. What a hoot, and still relevant.

Went to all the Dr., Dentist, and Vet appointments that brought us back to KC in the winter! Visited and played cards with all our friends!

Took the cat with us up to Lincoln for Thanksgiving. Stayed at Cathy's folks again. Ate too much and watched football, what a great time!

All the "girls" went to the movie "Tangled" and had a great afternoon.

Took what we hope is the last "excess" stuff to storage.

Went back to Walnut Grove for a week. Cathy had a company put all of her music onto disks, so she spent a week uploading all of them onto her computer. Then we donated all of the original music to the library. We visited with our financial advisor, who told Steve that it was OK to retire.

Cathy was glad to get back to her favorite massage therapist, and made the most of her 3 weeks back in KC.

Went back to Lincoln to visit our niece, who came back for a visit with her son. All 3 little ones (our great nieces and great nephew) had their Christmas. What a blast! And more great food!

One bad, sad happening: Our 16 year old cat, Smokey, had stopped eating and was in kidney failure. We had to euthanize her right before we left. We are recovering with a new cat, Dottie, who needed a new home, and was already at the vet's location.
