Norfolk VA

It was a five and a 1/2 hour drive to get here ..thats about twice what I like to do each day………All went well until we were about 30 minutes away and decided to get gas…

…I cut the turn into the gas station a little close and Cut one of the tires @%$#&^#&@………At Camping World they cost over $600.00 each…..Our friend Vinnie in NY got us two last fall for $350.00 each……I made a few calls and found a Goodyear dealer selling them for $350.00 also ….I hate making costly mistakes with no way to blame Sharon for it !!!!!! kidding

My son Pauls’ wife Laura made arrangements for us to camp on a Navy base near their house……Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base …..They both with granddaughter Kaylee met us outside the base to sign us into the base and take my firearms and ammo ….the Navy base frowns on guns on the base …go figure ?

Today is Monday the 19th of April….. tomorrow morning we get the tire fixed at 7:00 am. and start the drive toward Green Harbor Campground and Marina our summer home .

Its been a JOY seeing  Paul and Laura and especially Kaylee …..She changes so fast and is truly growing like a weed…..She’s only going to be one year old on the 25th of May ..she was able to whisper to me I’m her favorite relative ….how sweet is that !!!!!

  4. Hi Paul,
    I love your Blogs,

    There are always ways to blame Marcia or Sharon for things that happen on the road..... You will have to get more creative about it.

    EXAMPLE: If you didn't cough so loud I would have seen that big ass red curb.

  5. Paul and Sharon,
    I loved all the pictures and especially numbers 4 and 11 of the album. # 4 Helps Paul, your son, know that he is also related to me....his good looking, BALD HEADED, uncle and # 11 because your Granddaughter must have just heard that she has a "Great Uncle Earl"....enjoy your status as "favorite relative"....once she and I meet, the best you can expect from her is "one of her favorite relatives".....LOL
    Welcome home you four!!!
    PS You'd better talk to Jim soon....I was very disheartened to read that you were unable to blame Sharon or another driver or the weather or the "devil made me do it" or something....
