Monday Musings

Another great day in Dardenne Prairie, up at 04:30am for our morning coffee,then Donna was off to the truck company. She called me later about 08:00am and said she could get the time off for the Rally so I tried to send an e-mail to the Chapter Rep that lives in O'Fallon MO. to Register. After two tries and it bouncing back both times as unknown address I noticed his phone number and gave him a call, His name is Bob Ingham and he was very nice over the phone, he said he lived on the other ( North ) side of O'Fallon from me but that he would meet me half way at the MacDonald's on Hwy M and I could register and pay for the rally there.We set a time of 09:30am, Luckily he said he was an early riser like us because I noticed when I was talking to him that it was only 08:30am and I probably should have waited till a little later to call. I met him and made the arrangements and he said they expect about 200 to 250 rigs to be there. It is a State Good Sam Rally rather than one on the Chapter level, so there should be a lot to do. Donna & I both are looking forward to it, because then it will only be a couple weeks before my PA. trip.

Rigg's had a good day yesterday, My Son Andy's girlfriend, Samantha brought her daughter, Nicole over, she is 8 years old, almost the same age as Adam, Since she isn't used to having a big dog around she was at first a little shy of Rigg's. But it wasn't long before he brought her his ball and wanted to play catch, with help from Grandma Donna she learned how to make him drop it and sit before she through it and now they are best friend's. Rigg's loves playing with Adam and I'm sure Nicole will be on his list of kids now too.  She is such a doll. Here is some pictures.

Last night Donna made a killer Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes and corn. Between the three of us, Samantha and Nicole had to go home for supper. We blew threw it like  yesterday's news, it was one of those fall apart roasts that you just have to have seconds on.

Tonight with Donna working today I am going to bake a Lasagna in the oven so we can feast again.

I was hoping I would here from Adam since it was Grandparents Day but the weekend came and went and no call. I guess the freeze is on, his Mom blocked us on Face Book and Andy said she put a block on the phones so I haven't tried to call him. I wish life was easier on the kids than this. Maybe I can put a sign out front  Grandpa for Rent.

Well another day in the big city. Hope everyone is enjoying good weather and smooth sailing. be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
