Seems like only yesterday that we got home to Green Harbor Marina and Campground , at the beginning of May ……
Its been a busy three months……….
Our daughter EARNED her Masters of Arts from Syracuse University….Sharon and I are sooooo Proud of her……
We also got to meet Sharon’s sister Candace and husband Brett's’ new son Chase ……a big handsome boy that he is ……here with mom and uncle Jon……….
My brother Earl was honored to receive a yes answer from his beautiful lady Mj and will be married next summer.
On a sad note we lost our long time ( almost 14 yrs ) family dog Cody …..
He helped train our cockapoo , Monty and protected and loved us all….. he’ll be remembered and missed……..
I’ve had a few motorcycles in the past and during our last winter trip we met new friends , Dan & Tricia …they have a nice fifth wheel and Dan fitted his truck to carry his Harley on their travels. Being on a “ fixed income “ I couldn’t afford a Harley so I got a used 2007, 1100 Yamaha
Then , we ( I say we so it looks like Sharon thought all this was a good idea ) then had to trade the Vibe in for a truck to carry the bike and pull behind the RV ……..
Its a 2005 Dakota ( 19,000 miles ) four wheel drive and flat towable ………..as soon as “we’ get ramps ,and a couple other accessories we’ll be ready for 2011 winter trip to the west and south again for the winter months …..
I was able to work camp here this year …..its been fun and also a challenge at times…..The owners Don and Barb Anderson are young and hard workers…..they’ve brought the camp from a state of disrepair to where it is now and have wonderful plans for the future…….Dons taught me a bunch of new skills including honey wagon operations . Which at first sounds sweet and and probably fun…..well it is neither……. SMILE …..here is some pictures of Sharon and I at work :
OK … that's not me plowing …but it is a neat shot….
Our son Paul along with his wife Laura and baby Kaylee came for a few days ………
Some shots of friends and just having fun :

Today is the 9 of August and as the more experienced Rvers say I’m getting the hitch itch.It won’t be long until we start get ready for our 2011 winter adventures. I hope all our family and friends that read our blog are able to have joy and peaceful times this summer . Paul and Sharon
Hey Paul and Sharon - So glad to see this post! So sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. When are we going to ride together? It's a must! :-) Congrats on getting the bike!!
ReplyDelete"talk" to you soon - Dan and Tricia
Great blog Bro! I guess I didn't make it clear that we were going to keep the engagement a secret for a little while....Oh well...(just kidding). I too will miss Cody. He was the only dog who actually, really smiled at people when he was happy to see them...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I'll be the only one who knows these two special facts:
#1 The infamous "hear not evil, see no evil, and speak no evil" made famous by the other "monkeys" was actually COPIED from the original 3 monkeys in your blog....and
#2 Hidden in the many beautiful pictures of your latest blog is a TV celebrity from the famous "SKIPPER SAM" show that was a Rochester favorite kids program from the 60's or was that the 50's????
Don't leave too soon, it's nice having you home!
Love, Earl and MJ
Hi Paul,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about the truck and motor cycle. Sorry to hear about your dog. We know how hard it is to loose pets. You all have our condolances.
Looking forward to your blogs back on the road. Hope to join you next year..
Jim
I like the way you loosely use the term, "we". I know it was all Sharons idea to buy the new motorcycle and Dakota. Paul, you have and always will be too nice of a human being. Glad to see you haven't changed and will do anything to make your wife happy. She should probably treat you to a nice meal at Hooters when you get back on the road. They have clean restrooms, cold soda and great thighs and breasts. I mean, chicken wings.
