Our first week....

Our first week has been very uneventful. Being in the warm weather has been wonderful. Nikki (our daughter) may be getting tired of us by now but hey, a free dinner at your parents is always good.  Over the weekend I washed part of the 5th wheel. We have started to make minor additions inside, like a magazine rack in the bathroom and hanging a few pictures. We still find it challenging finding things. We know we have them.....its just where did they go?

Saturday we went to Nikki's boyfriends house for dinner. Unfortunately, Mike's mom is a Wisconsin fan......too bad they lost :)  Having two Michigan State fans in the house was probably not putting the best foot forward.

I made my first Camping World order to the the site....It was very convenient in Michigan to just drive to it (only 25 minutes away). Here in Wilmington the closest Camping World is in Myrtle Beach, SC about an hour away. On the list, solar powered awning lights, awning deflappers and awning tie downs. From the last three items you can tell I don't like putting the awning up often whenever a storm is forecasted (which hasn't been often yet!

Last weekend we went to Wrightsboro United Methodist Church in Wilmington. It was a very nice church and we enjoyed the pastor's sermon. It reminded us of our church in Saline, MI (FUMC) when it was smaller and more personal.  ALOT of music at the contemporary service. Service started at 10:50 and we sang and listened to the choir till 11:50 when the pastor started. Typical service is 1 1/2 hours but it went by amazingly fast. I'm sure we'll go back. Kathy on Wednesday worked at the food pantry the church runs, and next Tuesday we will be helping to unload a freight truck of food. I must admit, I miss all of our friends of 25 years and seeing familiar faces at church but I'm confident we'll make new friends and find new programs to get involved in.

This week, I've been in Vancouver, British Columbia all week. Left on Monday, returning late Friday night. How nice it was to fly out of Detroit! Wilmington airport is small and easy but way too many connections to get anywhere.

We have trick-or-treat at the campground this weekend...living in the country in Michigan we did not have kids on Halloween very often unless someone drove them out to our house.

Soon we will make the trek to Pensacola, Florida to officially change our residency and get our new licenses and plates. Unfortunately, Pensacola is about a 15 hour drive from Wilmington.
