Hi All: Still getting ready for the trip. I think I have the rig all ready to go. Amy is continuing to fill it up with STUFF. Keep telling her that we have a weight limit, NOT a space limit. Don't think she hears me.

Only 4 weeks to go now and we will be heading out.

Have the garden all planted. Only put in 88 tomato plants this year, plus green peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, Onions, Green Beans, Yellow Beans and cucumbers. Doubt we will get much of the harvest before we leave though. Do hope a couple tomatoes will be ready before we leave. Also my peach tree is loaded this year. I fear we won't get any of those either. Asked Brenda to can some of them for me if we don't get any. She will be canning all the stuff in the garden while we are gone also. She has taken up the canning chore from Amy the last couple years. She's gotten real good at it also. Her and Dave will be taking care of the house while we are gone. They call it their Summer Home??? Sure glad they are here. We would not be able to go like we do without their help taking care of the place while we are gone. Ken and Kate next door also watch our place during the week for us also. It's sure good to have them as neighbors also.

Well, Just wanted to update the Blog and let you all know we are excited to be going in 4 weeks. We will miss Bob and Dorene who came with us in 2008, but they cannot get away this year.

Semper Fi.

Don, Amy & Pharaoh...
