We are Loading up!!! And getting out of Dodge

Merry Christmas to all our Blogging fur friends from Lilly and Tucker Boy


Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you our wonderful Blog friends!!! Where ever you are!! I have been more down on the sofa that up off it due to a miserable attack of bronchitis..but I'm feeling much better this evening..I think those antibiotics are kicking in. I swear we should have a revolving door on our home as Rick is in and out like a ginnyspinner putting things in the motor home..the rig has been pretty well packed, loaded and ready to roll for over a month now..we just need to load on those last minute things which we can't do until early Tuesday morning..but hes enjoying slipping out with CDs of music..the printer for the laptops etc etc..so I say fill your boots buddy!!


We are all ready for Christmas...our adopted grand arrived yesterday safe and sound..to spend Christmas with us...and we are anxious to spend it with our kids, and the grands..our dear daughter is hosting pretty much everything at her home..and that is a bonus for me. All we have to do is show up, just across town. This will be the first year we've changed that tradition, as in the past I was always the 'host'..so I have no trouble breaking tradition this year. She feels it would be too hard on me to be packing, de decorating etc to host christmas brunch and dinner for everyone the day or so before we are slated to pull out..and I say 'bless her heart'..


We plan to be in the Myrtle Beach area for new years and meet up with friends of ours there. I'm not looking forward to the first couple of travel days, due to the fact that we are winterized but we can ride the wave on that I'm sure. Out running any bad weather will be our challenge and we are up to it. If we run into bad weather we will just find the closest Wallyworld and park. 


Al and Kelly hang in there you are in our thoughts and prayers that you can glide along with your health issues until the spring..Contessa your family and your mom are also in our thoughts and prayers. I will try and keep up with the blogging during our travels-and I will surely have more time to read the blogs without rushing, to check on how you are all doing.


Have a blessed Christmas and all the very very best from our home to yours for a wonderful 2012.


PS: Just a little chuckle for you all concerning Uncle Dennis buying the grands a mininature horse for Christmas. Their parents took the girls yesterday, on a surprise drive and the grands were quite excited. Caitlin is a dear little diva girl and I thought she just may not enjoy the barn thing..Hannah is our little tom boy who bass pro fishes in tournaments, hanging off the side of the boat and baiting her own hooks. To our surprise upon their arrival here last night after the 'great reveal' Caitlin was so excited she was bouncing off the walls..even to the point of sitting on the horses...Hannah was petrified of the horses. The pictures sure made me chuckle, Caitlin all excited as if Uncle Dennis had just passed them the moon, and Hannah looked horrified with a look of 'what are we doing here-this is the end of the world' face..she made it known that she would have been perfectly happy with a "barbie" as a present from Uncle Dennis. I am sure once she is used to Betty she will love her...she is a dear looking little horse who is saddle and cart broken. She did inform me that they are not house broken like Lilly and Tucker and they make big poops that do NOT smell good....I guess what they say is true...expect the unexpected with kids.
