Good evening, family, and friends,
Wednesday, I drove to Springfield and stayed in the KOA there. I went to Buckys and Silver Dollar City just to walk around and pick up an item I saw on my last trip and decided I needed. It was weird being there alone. I had a cinnamon roll all to myself. I got to go in stores that I wanted to go into at my own pace. Life was good. I stayed Wednesday night and Thursday night in Springfield. Friday I drove to Acola, Mo to stay in an RV resort. My husband was meeting me there.
So those of you that really know me know my favorite color is green and that my Toyota tundra is green and I love her. Her name is Nessie 2. Nessie 1 is another story. Well, I’ve been driving our GMC 250 and my husband‘s been driving my Nessie2. 3 miles out of the RV site, my husband pulled out in front of another truck and most likely totaled my Nessie 2. I couldn’t make this up if I tried. The accident was very similar to my son’s accident except for no one flew in the air. I am very grateful that no one was hurt. No one except my Nessie 2…..

We have AAA and I told my husband to call them to tow Nessie 2. Instead an independent tow truck towed Nessie to a garage and $880 later I’m having a past patient tow it to Kansas City. ( I am so grateful to him). Yes $880.00 to tow and store for 4 days. Mind you the Storage is not even inside a gated area.
To top it off, my husband and I like to play cards. We play Shanghai, which is kind of like a rummy game. Do you think he’d let me win one game? Nope. We were supposed to be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, which is June 2. This has been a bummer and not a very good weekend.
I am fried more than a McDonald’s, french fry.
If anyone knows how to easily replace two igniters on my RV range and oven  I would happily learn from you. The gas works, and you can light it with a match, but it won’t light on its own. Two of the burners work, the third and oven does not.

Please everyone be careful. I thought after a while I would stop missing everyone, but I only miss each and every one of you more each day. Please keep in touch, I love hearing about everything you’re accomplishing and your life struggles as I’m sharing my life struggles with you. OK, I’m ready to be done with struggles for a while. Only good things in the future for all of us!!!
Always for the children
