FAMILY REUNION...

We have been checking out places to have our "HOPPER REUNION"
next summer.  This is Natural Falls State Park and this is one
beautiful place to have it.  Big room, kitchen, patio with smoker and
grill, RV park, Wi-Fi, playground and a short walk to the Falls.



This is the entrance to the reunion room and the patio on the side and
can have it for $125.00 per day. 



This is Honey Creek RV Park and you can have the six table for $75.00 a day.



Still looking....have looked at a number of parks but did not take pictures because
we are not going there :)

BACK UP AND RUNNING...

Insurance man came and checked every thing out.  Now we will see what happens.  Not much I bet!
Had the Geek Squad out here twice and most things are up and running.  The only thing is I can't get
my laptop to print.  I'm on my way to Best Buy again today to get a new virus program and find out
about my printer.  Why does things work when the repair person is here and when they leave and
you try to do it ... no way will it work!!!!  I'm getting them to come back out and try again, why have
the stuff and pay all that money if it won't work! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr........

LIGHTING STRIKE!

Rain last night was Great except for the BIG LIGHTING STRIKE that hit our house at 4:10 AM. Talk about someone coming out of bed!!!! Big BOOM Big LIGHT!!!

We lost the TV out of the living room, TV out of the bedroom, the VCR, my photo printer, my scanner/printer/copy for my laptop, my modem and my router plus the limbs from the trees hit the roof and now we have a leak over the washer. Hubby got me a new modem cause I gotta have my internet and a TV for him.

Insurance man tomorrow!!!
