Sitting Tight

Well, here we sit. Almost noon, Saturday, waiting on this weather to pass over. Our intital plan was to hit the road at 4 am. Been watching the weather for the last couple of days. They were predicting stormy weather for today all the way to Dallas, right down our path. So, we slept until we felt like getting up and then took our last long hot shower, for a while, in our own tub here at home. I have an instant on hot shower setup waiting to install when we get to the coach. It will be for our dry camping. I will plumb it into the propane and water if it works like it is advertized. Will keep us from having to run the Onan to heat water. Anyway, the temperature here is almost 70 degrees and windy. I gassed up the car and Teri has it loaded. She also has the house ready with all of the furniture covered. We have a check list here so I am going to go down it in a minute and make sure we have done everything. The storm has not hit here yet. Looking at the weather channel it looks like any time now. I am thinking maybe by 2 or 3 pm we can take off. We will see.
We have some great pictures of two grandkids that spent the night with us Thursday. We had a blast. 3 and 4 year olds. They are the best kids. They play together and love playing with grandpa too. I woke up yesterday to two kids jumping on top of me and hollaring. Teri had sent them in to get me up, and they did. We will miss them but have three waiting on us in Arizona. The pictures are buried somewhere in the car so I won't post them.
Looks like Tulsa is getting blasted good and the temperatures are dropping. The storm has Arkansas covered now and is moving northeast. It does not look like it will be here long, plus, the way it is moving, we should drive right out of it pretty quick. I am just waiting for it to get east of Little Rock and then we will head out.
Hope you guys can ride along with us. We will be on the road soon. Yall have a good weekend and if you are traveling have a safe trip. Thanks for checking in.
