An Interesting Week!

I had not been sleeping well because I have bursitis in my hips and when my back went out over the holidays, it made my hips and legs really hurt.  On Tuesday after we got the RV set up, I went to my doctor's appointment.  After discussion of the options, I had a shot of Cortisone in each hip.  Wow, I'm pretty happy, I've been sleeping much better!  The pain is better than it's been for a long time...whew!

Thursday evening I went with Peggy and a few of her friends to happy hour and the movies.  We saw the Merrill Streep/Julia Roberts film.  The acting was amazing but a very depressing movie!  Most families have some sort of dysfunction, but this was everyone in the whole family!  Not exactly an up-lifting movie.

Saturday was our first baseball game of 2014!  Trent's 12-13 year olds entered a 14 year old tournament.  Boy was that a tough one.  They did win one of two games Saturday, lost on Sunday and lost on Monday.  It was a good challenge for them and I'm sure they will be glad to play in their age group!

Sunday we had an open house at Mission Bay.  We didn't get down there until 7:15 so the space we wanted was taken.  We parked on the other side of the same parking lot but the Park Ranger chased us out.  We eventually found a place to park and I tried to get the message out to everyone who might have been coming.  We had a good turn out of 28 from all different groups of friends an it was a steady stream of friends coming by!  We have so much food left over, we need to have another one LOL!

Early Monday morning we left the campground headed to La Mesa RV.  They were putting on the Protection Products we purchased when we bought the RV.  They didn't have time to put it on before we left in August and agreed to do it when we got back.  We also wanted them look at the roller that had failed on our large kitchen slide because Ted didn't think it was working right.  Sure enough, it was not functioning and they had to take the rollers apart and realign them.  Of course a 24 hour project turned into 2 1/2 days.  They did put us up in a hotel while this was being done.  Our Motorhome looks brand new all over again, so shiny and clean!  It's a cloudy day so not sure if the shine shows up in the picture!

In the meantime, we also took our car in Monday after dropping off the motorhome.  We got hit in the rear when we were on our trip.  They didn't leave a note so we had contacted our insurance.  They had to replace the bumper and because of paint, this would take two days.  Once they took off the bumper they found the brackets were also bent and needed to be replaced.  They had to be ordered so it was now a three-day project but it looks brand new again!

By Wednesday afternoon we had the car and motorhome back to the campground.

Yesterday was lunch with my girlfriends' Jeri, Kittye and Roberta.  We had a fun lunch at Panera's and decided we need to do this more often!  It was a lot of fun catching up with the ladies!

Sophie starts basic training tomorrow (that will be fun)!  Here she's lying in the grass watching the birds:

Craig and Claire have gotten a new puppy!  Her name is Sophia!  She's very cute, can't wait to meet her!

Everything back to normal..."Ain't Life Grand!"
