Videos -Anniversary - Hatch - High School Play

 

Shiloh, IL  (Hi 51  Lo  38)

Sunday, I ended up in the Youtube rabbit hole. I started out with just a curiosity and ended up 11 hours later watching all the info possible in setting up a car for camping. I found a whole series with women traveling alone OVER 60. I've watched a lot of setups but women over 60 in all kinds of vehicles really interests me. We were full time rv'ers for almost seven years. I'd really like to go part time and am researching for the best way to escape the high prices of a hotel room and food to get from point A to B the cheapest way possible. There's still places I'd like to see again or new that we missed while on the road. I'd like to see some people for a short time that I haven't seen in a long time. Gas is high, but if I can eat and skip motels, it's going to be doable. I'd like to meet up with some of the women on the road. I have a trip already planned and if that goes really well, I'll setup for what I'll need for longer trips. There's more research to be done safe places to stay for one night. Here's one setup I'm leaning toward except for the huge water canister to the left. I'm not taking that much water. 

Monday was special, our 52nd wedding anniversary. The wedding day and a few weeks before Jim passed.  

I spent the day with Frank and Angie. Frank and I went to  see the movie Lost City. It's pretty good and we both give it thumbs up. I had dinner with them then came home to get on the widows zoom. It's a good way to meet people that is in the same boat with Glioblastoma. I'm very thankful for the group.

I took my car into Toyota to find out what was wrong with the hatch back not opening and closing. It's been acting up way before we headed to Florida last May and it's getting worse. I was told it was the struts and I ordered them but when a mechanic tried to install they didn't fit. I figured Toyota could get it right so Monday they will install them. I'll need the hatch working if I start traveling. 

We had a day of great weather then back to rain/snow/sleet and cold winds. It's the beginning of April and still winter is hanging on. It's not new but the severe storms are trending more south. There's been more tornadoes and high winds. It's another global warming events to watch. 

We had a storm go through, this is coming in from the Southwest 

and this is looking to the north.  A rainbow, but faint. 

Thursday night I went to O'Fallon high school play Anastasia. The kids did a wonderful job and it was a great evening out with Ruth. I wonder how many students studying in theater actually pursue it for their future.   

This is April, the trees are turning white and pink. It's pretty, but oh the allergies!
