Spring, 2009

Greetings to one and all... it has been a busy Spring for the Badger's. In May we went up to Ohio, where John W., Aimee and the kids, John 6 and Morgan 4 were living. John W. finally got a flying job over in China so we went up to help them pack up and move to
China. We had to decide what to put in storage here in the states and then pack up the rest that was going to China with them. They will be over there for three years and maybe up to 8 years. We talk to them and e-mail. They got there after a long 25 hour trip and as John W. had been over already he had an apartment set up and waiting for them. Aimee is getting used to they way they do things in China. John and Aimee have both gotten scooters to get around over there. The kids are in school and are planning on going to summer camp. All is going well so we are very happy for them......

We came home from Ohio and I got sick for almost three weeks with a sinus infection.. that was no fun. Finally over that we packed up the RV and headed west to get out of hot Florida for the summer.
We left Palm Coast on Wednesday, June 1 and drove as far as Montgomery, Al. for the night. The next day we drove to West Point, Mississippi to visit John's cousin Ann. Ann spends her time between Atlanta and where she grew up here in West Point. We had a very nice visit. Along our route to Mississippi we encountered the accident that you see here. I have no idea how they got that way but
glad that it was not us!!!!!


We left Mississippi on Sunday and made it as far as Canton, Texas for the night. We were not sure which way we wanted to go but with watching the weather this seemed the best route. There is not much to see in Texas but a lot of open spaces... and the wind machines, they seemed to go on for a long time. On Monday we headed to Lubbock, Texas for the night. Tuesday we were off once again and were going to stop in Albuquerque, N.M. As we were watching the weather on the computer we decided to push our driving for the day and head on to Durango, Colorado. We did encounter a rain storm just north of Albuquerque and then just prior to the border the rain stopped and the wind came up and we were in a dust storm. We finally made it to Durango, Tuesday evening, June 9.
We were very tired when we got here but were glad to be here as we will now stay put for three weeks. We stopped here last year and really enjoyed the area so here we are once again.

So far we are getting our home set up and catching our breath from the long drive......

Hope all is well with everyone. More later so stay tuned.

Love,
Candy and Johnny
