Great to see Barb and Mike!

September 8 – Today we headed to Peculiar, MO.  It is the closest campground to Belton, MO.  Friends we met on our caravan live there and it’s on our way home so we set up to stay there a night and visit with them.  We checked in at noon, had lunch and called and let them know we would be ready any time after 2:30.

I caught up on some paperwork, changed the bed linens, did a load of laundry, cleaned my floors and dusted a little.

Mike and Barb arrived right at 2:30.  They took us all over Belton!  Their house burned down earlier this year and is being rebuilt so they took us to see where they did and will live again.  They took us to meet his parents, who were such sweet people and then to their rental house where one of their daughters lives with 4 or 5 of her kids.  Mike and Barb are living in their RV parked in the driveway with only 110 electric.  They are very anxious to get back into their house.  We also met their other daughter who lives here and she went to lunch with us all and later we stopped at her house.  Mike and Barb used to own it and sold it to them.  They have the cutest 2 young kitties.  Everyone we met were really nice people.  Obviously they are like their parents.

We lunched at Texas Roadhouse and it was good and packed!  They drove us back to the RV and sadly I had to say goodbye again.  As much as I enjoyed seeing them, as they are such fun people who like to laugh, I just wanted to cry all over again at saying good bye.  Well, maybe they will come to Florida for a winter and Missouri isn’t real far so I hope to keep seeing them as long as we can.

We will be home in a week as long as nothing goes wrong and I am really ready to get back into my house and my craft room!
