  1. Thanks Lewis for the update. So sorry to hear this, I know the family has a lot of grief to handle right now. I will continue to pray for all of you. Donating his organs to give life to others is such a selfless gift. That is amazing. God bless you all Patti and Don
  2. If you are going to Sturgis and need a place to stay please contact Terri Talkington @ 877.411.SPUR. She is the new owner of the Spur Campground and cabins in Piedmont, SD. It's about 20 miles south of Sturgis. She has about 10 cabins still available @ $775 wk. RV camping spot with full hookups is $33 per night per person. Electric only is $27 per night per person. Tent camping is $15 per night per person. The address at the campground is 2305 Elk Creek Rd, Piedmont, SD. She is really nice and you will have a good time. Patti and Don
  3. Hummingbird, that is gorgeous!!! Unfortunately I would not have room for that in my RV. I would cry if I had to leave it behind. Thanks again for your beautiful work. You have a special talent. Take care. Patti
  4. Hey Hummingbird! Thanks for the teaser. I still have the one that I won at Potato Creek. One of the first things I packed in our RV. I get compliments on it all the time. Thank you for your beautiful workmanship. Your new one is beautiful too. Patti
  5. Buddy: Saw your 03 Venture last week when Monty and Angel came to visit. They were camping in Mississippi I think. It looks real good. Monty is taking really good care of it. I know you miss it, but you know it's in good hands. Patti

    It's hard to read this so it must be even harder for Black Owl. Prayers dear friend. Peace and love.... Patti
  7. We totally understand Steve. It was worth a shot, right? Congrats on getting back to work. Take care and maybe next time around we can meet up. Patti
  8. In the middle of the night, Don came up with B2dad. The meaning is a tribute to our son, Jason, who is a B2 Bomber pilot in the Air Force. So of course, I am B2mom. Jason is still a B2 pilot, a LT Colonel, and taking over as squadron commander in June at Whiteman AFB. WE are definitely proud parents. Patti
  9. Hey Dragonslayer! Thanks for the offer of your Hacienda, but we already have a campground booked and paid for. We will be at Stone Mountain for a couple nights - May 2 - May 5. If you want to get together, let me know. Please see my phone number in a previous reply. Patti
  10. Steve We will be in Kissimmee from April 10th to April 15th. When we leave there on the 15th, we will be heading up the east coast towards Savannah, GA. If you want to meet us in Kissimmee or we can meet half way before the 15th, let me know what day is good for you. We don't have any special plans right now. Otherwise, we will be towing a large 5th wheel and while it's possible to stop on our way north, we need a very large parking lot (easy in and out) to meet up at. My phone number is 731-514-0224 if you want to give me a shout. Leave message if I don't answer and I will call you back. Patti
  11. Just wanted to let you all know that we are alive and kicking!! Don is doing much better after his THIRD knee replacement in less than one year. He's still working on improving his strength and stamina. Doctor says we are ready to travel!! We are leaving southern Alabama this Wednesday, March 29th. Heading for Florida to see barrycuda and and my cousin. Then we will be heading up the east coast, stopping in Savannah and then on to Columbia, SC to see Sleeperhawk and his Mechanic (George and Bobbie). Next stops are in Atlanta and Payne's Creek, GA; Gatlinburg, TN and then to West TN to see kids and grandkids for a couple weeks. Then we head north into Illinois, stopping to see eusa1 the first week of June and then make our way to Kansas City to see youngest son, the B2 pilot. He is now a LT Colonel and is going to be the Squadron Commander. Very proud of him! After that we will be heading out west, doing the "touristy" thing at Mount Rushmore, Badlands, Crazy Horse, etc. That will be in July. Not sure where we will end up for the winter. Thinking of checking out Arizona or maybe Texas. But for now I am content to travel and see this beautiful country of ours. Sorry we are not going to make Mikes Root Beer Run or the International this year. Have to be in Kansas City that week. Hope there is a good attendance at both, they are great events! Hope everyone has a great summer! Patti
  12. Hi Black Owl Sorry to hear that you have been "under the weather". You have so many friends here praying for you and wishing you the best. B2dad and I included. Sending prayers and a big hug! That is quite an honor from Freebird, saying you were member #3 . WOW! The stories you could tell about the early years, some middle years, and then the last few years. Sure wish we could talk about all the fun you've had. Please get better so we can share some good times. Thinking of you.... Patti and Don (B2mom and B2dad)
  13. I know it's kinda late in the season, but I was wondering if anyone was planning on going to the Dragon in the next month or so. If so, I need a favor please! I need a PATCH from the Dragon. Will be glad to pay for it and shipping. Can anyone help me out? thank you so much Patti
  14. thanks everyone for the posts here and the vote of confidence. it's definitely been a long road this year. DVeron is doing quite well considering what he has been thru. None of the tests could tell us why he had the stroke and seizure. They did tell us that he appears to be in good shape tho. His blood vessels in his brain all look good, no other bleeds. His heart looks good. He needs to lose some weight and get his sugar more under control tho I drove over 600 miles between yesterday and today. It wasn't bad at all and I had a great co pilot. Don was very encouraging and gave me tips as needed. We even went thru a couple of bad storms. WE are now at Mount Magazine State Park in Arkansas, visiting some VR friends Colesgrampa and his wife Joan. They helped us set up, which was good because apparently our RV is still not fixed. We couldn't get one of the slides to open. It sounded like the gears were stripped in the motor. Don and Raymond pushed the slide open while I operated the motor. I guess it goes back to the shop. We had a 6 week trip planned and now I don't know what will happen. Calling the company tomorrow. Prayers are appreciated. Patti
  15. eusa1: I don't know where you find these pictures, but this one is perfect! Pretty sure this was me and Don this morning when I pulled out of the campground. I am sure Don was thinking: WTH have I done!!!! LOLOL. He was very good today and only offered advice if I asked for it. I think we finally got this. It wasn't so bad pulling the trailer except the GPS mostly sent us down 2 lane roads, some 4 lane but not much interstate. I think this won't be so bad after all. Patti
