Tues., 10/7/25, Left Little Rock, Drove around 120 miles and got to Hatfireld, AK, dropped trailer off, parked camper, set up, went for a walk, played cards and dice, Bill won both games

Beautiful ride on our last stretch before getting to Mena
Pretty spot with great view
We love our spot.  I’m relaxing in our no gravity chair while I took this
On our walk around the campground...My watch said, looks like you’re on a walk, do you want to record it.  I said yes...I have been riding for two days and haven’t got exercise and it could tell lol.
Iron Mountain Pavilion...Bill decided to go to the bathroom while I rested my leg.  Lots of hills to go up on our walk.  


Bill in front of our spot we were camped in last year.  
Our spot, #59


I got up at 7 and got ready and ate breakfast. Bill got up at 8 and got ready.  We left at 8:30.  I forgot to get a picture at Cracker Barrel. Oh well. That’s the 2nd time.


I read my Bible while Bill drove.  Then we listened to worship music!  It sounds great with all of the motor home speakers on.  We only have 120 miles to go.  We stopped after we got out of heavy traffic Ang got coffees at a gas station.  It sure tasted good.  It was another beautiful day starting out at 70 when we woke up and going up to 84 by the time we got to Hatfield.  We drove and found our campsite, dropped the motorcycle off, then took the trailer and dropped it off where you can park trailers, then drove back to our spot and Bill drove in and we lined up the steps with the cement slab.  Then Bill leveled the camper and after he pushed the button it was only a minute and it was all level.  So happy it was so fast.  No boards needed other than the 4 we always put down.  Yay!  Bill set up the outside and I set up the inside.  We relaxed for a while after that, then we ate lunch.  He wanted a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and I ate my left over chicken breast from the Cracker Barrel.  It was big and so good.  I am going to get the same thing when I stop there on our way home.  No fat and nice and crispy.  I had some cottage cheese with peaches on top also.


I sat outside for a while.  It was shaded and was a nice temperature.  I sat in the no gravity chair and really rested for a while.  It was so peaceful and nice.  Jack messaged me and sent me a video to watch.  We texted back and forth a long time discussing what we liked and didn’t like about what the guy said.  Our discussion ended well and we always end with I love you.  I love that my grandkids take with me about things they are interested in.  I love all of my grandkids so much.


Bill wanted to go for a walk, so we walked all around the campground.  There are some pretty big hills to climb, so I told him I wanted to sit on a bench and rest my leg for a minute.  He went to the restrooms in the Pavilion while I texted more with Jack.  I had told him I couldn’t text and talk, because it could be dangerous lol.  

He did a ha ha.  


We saw the spot that Doug and Sue are going to be in we think, and it’s our spot we were in last year.  They are close to us only we are in the row behind them 4 spots down.  


I texted with my sister, Brenda, and the pain is getting better.  She thinks she will be able to go home tomorrow.  I’m glad she’s doing better.  We texted for quite a while.  I also texted with my BF, Vikki, for a while.  I talked to Vikki today and she loved working at Heritage.  The boss there was so kind and such a difference in attitude from the boss she has.  She said she could work there everyday and be happy.  I love that she had such a great day.


I was happy to see videos Kimmy sent me of Jacob’s apartment, his room and garage.  She also sent one showing the area he is in.  Everything looks great.  They met his roommate and said he was really nice.  Praying all goes very well this year.  Always praying for my grand kiddos.  Adam is excited because he gets to move into Jacob’s room at home.  Jacob was so nice about letting his brother have his room.  It works for both of them because Jacob is home for such a little time now.  

My dad always said, they are wonderful boys, just wonderful boys.  They can’t be beat and he sure was right.  They were so small when he said it, but he knew.  I called Kimmy and talked to her so I could hear more about Jacob’s move.  I’m so glad it’s so nice and went so well.


Well, we are getting up early to go volunteer and see what they need us to do here tomorrow.  We had fun volunteering last year, so came early again this year.  Then we will hopefully get a ride in after that and go to Cruisers for ice cream.  


Oh, Bill beat me in both 3-13 and dice tonight.  Both games were super close.  We sure had fun.
