Thursday, April 5, 2018 - Moving Day - Wichita to Oswego, Catching up with Family

It was a little before 5:00 when I rolled out of bed this morning.  I thought seriously about rolling over and staying there, but knowing it's moving day I decided it would be best not to.
I wrote the blog for the previous 3 days to catch us up to date.  I was finishing it as Dean joined me.  After breakfast, we got busy packing and hitching up.  We pulled out of the RV Park by 9:45.  

Our drive from Wichita to Oswego seemed to fly by.  As with every trip to and from Wichita, I just love the drive after Beaumont to around the Severy area through the Flint Hills.  I never get tired of that scenery.  We had to make a stop at Parsons Walmart to pick up a prescription for Dean.  As we were getting ready to take the exit, my son Marc called me.  I glanced at the clock and it was just after 12:00.  I asked him if he called because he had seen us taking the exit at Parsons, he said no, I didn't but I see you now.  He was headed home, going the opposite direction of where we were now - so as we were going down the exit ramp, he was going up the merge ramp.  How funny!  

We pulled into Oswego and were set up by 1:15.  We had a quick bite to eat and then I walked up to pay Todd, owner of the RV Park, for the two months we will be here.  I talked to him for awhile, asking him about a possible rally for our Escapees group.  We walked back to our site so he could show me the sites that would be available if it happened.  It appears there is plenty of room.  He has an underground house that is currently occupied but will be vacant soon, and it could be available for a meeting room, so Dean and I may throw it out as a possibility for a rally or casual campout next year.  

While visiting with Todd and Dean, my sister, Cindy pulled in.  She was dressed up and when I asked her where she had been, she said I just came from that funeral.  I had no idea what she was talking about.  She said I just assumed you probably saw it on Facebook. While I have looked at Facebook a time or two in the past few days I haven't really been on it much, so I evidently didn't get far enough for it to show up.  One of her good friends from high schools' youngest brother passed away earlier this week.  I was shocked.  He was only 52.  We left Dean and Todd to visit and we went inside Bentley.  Other than the kids/grandkids, I've missed my sisters a lot and look forward to spending time with them while we are in Oswego.  Before she left, Misti showed up with Haleigh - she had sent me a text earlier to see if Haleigh could hang out with us for awhile this evening while Misti runs some errands for Project Prom - which is this weekend.  I told her, Absolutely, she could.  We had a great time catching up with Haleigh.  I'm so glad she hung out with Nana and Papa this evening.  Can't wait to see all of the other grandkids while we are here.  We'd love to spend some one on one time with each of them and that will be a goal while we are here.

So, it was a busy and full day, however that's all I have to share today.  It will be a busy time while we are here.  Between doctor visits, seeing and catching up with family members, and attending a few rallies, I'm afraid the time will fly by way faster than the two months we'll be here.
