Betty and Gordon's RV Odyssey

Tuesday, May 23, 2006 began our RV Odyssey. Our RV (Retirement Villa) is an Excel (Peterson Industries) Fifth Wheel travel trailer model 30RSO towed by our Ford F350 Powerstroke Diesel crew cab. We invite you to join our travel journal over the next few years and share your experiences and site-seeing suggestions with us.

Singin' the (heat) Blues in St. Louis

OMG. Comfort index exceeds 100. 96 degrees, light rain with sun. It is like a sauna outside. Now I remember why we moved out of the midwest. WHEW!

We spent two days at Bev's house setting up her garage for the moving sale. Then, on Wednesday we had the first day of the sale...yes, the comfort index has been the same uncomfortable "off the chart" reading. We did pretty well for the first day of the sale, but Bev wishes it had been more productive. We will have a second sale Friday afternoon, 5-8. then the final day on Saturday. After that, I think a charity will pick up the remaining stuff. We will begin the packing for the move next week. INSIDE. IN Air Conditioning!

When BC and I were at Weston Bend State Park last week (north of Kansas City) we picked wild black berries. The park limited our take to one gallon per person, per day! Needless to say, we could not eat that amount, but it was fun to pick. Now, we have chigger bites in all the tight places where elastic are tight to the skin. Cheapest Blackberries we ever ate, and also the most costly, if you know what I mean.

We are at the St. Louis Bread Company, aka Panera Bread Co. All stores seem to have free WiFi, so Betty ordered a Greek salad which is about the yummiest I have ever eaten. We each have our laptops screaming along doing our mail, paying our bills, and learning how to fight chiggers. No sightseening until next week after the moving sale is over. Then, there are lots of places we want to see.

Hope you are enjoying your summers!

Cheers from the Kellers.
